AVG Causes 'Fake Traffic' to websites

If you use AVG anti-virus software you may be interested in the article below. If you don't use AVG you can still be affected as the system creates fake traffic to your website which messes with any stats analysis you you. Basically when you search for something on Google AVG scans every website in order to declare it safe, or not. By doing so the site registers a visit before the person searching actually clicks into your site, which obviously messes up you webstats.

New Guidance for the Self Employed

Well it's probably about time I started using this news page!

New guidance from the HMRC has recently been issued covering what can be claimed by self employed people working from home. You will need an area of your home set up as an office and used exclusively for business use for set hours of the day/week. So I won't get much for sitting on the sofa with my laptop!!

You can claim for a proportion of mortgage interest and even a cleaner.

This link: http://www.contractoruk.com/news/003842.html explains all.

Don't forget to ask your accountant about the new guidance and he can help you work out the numbers.
