Toolbar breaks existing script

When I add the toolbar to my site I encounter two problems:

1. The Facebook fan link doesn't appear
2. It breaks another script on my site

How to account for a first VAT return in FreeAgent?

How do you account for the backdated part of VAT on a first VAT return when the backdated period (three years for goods and six months for services) started before the company was using FreeAgent?

James Ward started following the idea "It'd be great if bills that are due for payment showed up in iCal." in FreeAgent Central.

A comment on the question "What category for self assessment payment?" in FreeAgent Central:

And perhaps better to make the payment from my business account to my personal account and then off to HMRC from there? – James Ward, on August 06, 2009 12:50

James Ward replied on August 06, 2009 12:47 to the question "What category for self assessment payment?" in FreeAgent Central:

I make a monthly payment to HMRC towards my SA out of my business account. If I've followed this thread correctly, I should account for these payments as drawings. Is that right?

(I'm a sole trader.)

James Ward replied on August 05, 2009 08:37 to the question "Trial Balance won't balance" in FreeAgent Central:

OK, that's helpful. Thanks.

Looks like I need a chat with my accountant to get me set up properly right from the start.

Cheers

Trial Balance won't balance

My Trial Balance and Balance Sheet are out by exactly the same amount as my opening trade debtors balance.

When I enter the opening balance for trade debtors as a positive amount (which I think is correct), my TB is out by -£300 and BS out by +£300. When I enter the opening balance as a negative amount, the reverse is true.

Any ideas?

I'm also interested in this issue. I pay my SA in monthly instalments by standing order. How should I account for these?

James Ward gave praise in FreeAgent Central on August 03, 2009 13:02:

Fantastic accounting package

Great web app that does everything I was looking for (invoicing, VAT, self assessment) and much, much more. And a beautiful, intuitive, fast user interface. Brilliant work.

Customer Statements

It would be great to be able to issue customer statements, on demand or monthly recurring.
