Keeping A Stock Ledger For Accounting Purposes

[Thunderchild]

I buy and sell stuff. I've filled my self assessment in and so far no one has asked me to account for stock movements (ie: what value do I have in stock). I am a sole trader. Is there a threshold i need to pass before keeping stock movement records or do i need to do it anyway ?

I'd do it anyway (even for something small as I do, such as eBay transactions). Again, this is something you can bring up in your telephone conversation with the tax office (see other thread).
