You can make a very large profit & still not have any spare cash if you’re paying back large borrowings. But like you say its not exactly a surprise cost you didn’t know was coming.Yeh I never understand being shocked or struggling to pay the tax bill, it happens every year at the same time and you must have generated x times the tax in profit to be paying the tax in the first place. We are looking out for some more cows though too so the more the merrier!
