🍯 Cash Flow, Records and Tax for Beekeeping Businesses
An interactive 3D cash-flow terrain for a UK beekeeping business: monthly honey income and expense bars, a running bank-balance ribbon, a VAT threshold plane and a tax-reserve jar that fills as you set money aside for HMRC.
A 3D cash-flow terrain for a small UK beekeeping business: gold bars for seasonal honey income, brown bars for year-round costs, a glowing ribbon tracing the running bank balance, a VAT threshold plane and a tax jar filling with money set aside for HMRC.
🔬 What It Demonstrates
Beekeeping income is concentrated in a short summer harvest while feed, treatment and equipment costs run all year — the classic seasonal cash-flow squeeze. The bank-balance ribbon and tax jar show how setting cash aside monthly avoids a painful January Self Assessment bill.
🎮 How to Use
Scale the business with the turnover slider, choose how much profit to reserve for tax each month, and dial up winter feeding/treatment costs. Toggle the VAT threshold plane and press "Walk through the year" to watch the balance evolve month by month.
💡 Did You Know?
The UK VAT registration threshold is based on a rolling 12-month turnover, not a fixed calendar year — so a single bumper honey harvest can push a hobby business over the line faster than expected.
