๐Ÿ›‘ DON'T IGNORE SIMPLE ASSESSMENT LETTERS, SAYS HMRC

HMRC has urged customers not to ignore Simple Assessment letters for the 2025/26 tax year.

HMRC issues around 1.8 million Simple Assessment letters and stated that people should check the figures in their letter against their own records.

The letters will be sent to those who have tax to pay on income that has not been taxed through Pay As You Earn (PAYE) or Self Assessment.

Individuals may receive a Simple Assessment letter if they owe tax that cannot be collected automatically by HMRC, for example, if:

โœ… There's tax to pay on interest on savings or dividends
โœ… A second income has not been taxed
โœ… Tax is due on pension income
โœ… They received more tax-free allowance than they were entitled to
the tax cannot be collected through a tax code (for example, larger amounts owed, typically ยฃ3,000 or more).

Any tax owed should be paid by 31 January 2027, unless a different date is shown.

Myrtle Lloyd, Chief Customer Officer at HMRC, said: 'If you receive a Simple Assessment letter and have tax to pay, please don't ignore it. It's quick and easy to pay any tax owed via the HMRC app.

'If you need extra support or want to find out more, search 'Simple Assessment' on GOV.UK.'

๐Ÿ˜ฑ Many franchise business owners are surprised to discover they owe money back to their own company. After all, if youโ€™re the director and shareholder, surely itโ€™s all your money anyway?

Wellโ€ฆnot quite!

This is where a Directorโ€™s Loan Account (DLA) comes into play, and itโ€™s an area that sometimes catches directors out if theyโ€™re not paying close attention to how money moves between themselves and their franchise business.

๐Ÿ”— So, in our latest blog, we're walking you through what a DLA is, how one can become overdrawn, and what you can do if this happens. You can read the blog in full here: https://franchiseaccountingspecialists.co.uk/post/could-your-directors-loan-account-be-creating-a-hidden-tax-problem

Accountants quite often talk about cash, profits, accounting profits, and taxable profits all in the same sentence, but you may be asking yourself: โ€œIsnโ€™t that all just the same thing? And, if I have cash in my bank account, doesnโ€™t that mean that Iโ€™ve made a profit and I can just spend it?โ€

Your accountant might be saying one thing about your money, while your bank manager is saying something quite different!

So, how do you know exactly how much money youโ€™ve made at the end of every tax year?

Itโ€™s all in the timing, and in our latest blog we dive into the why. Have a read here: https://franchiseaccountingspecialists.co.uk/post/help-my-accountant-bank-manager-arent-speaking-the-same-language

โฐ MTD FOR INCOME TAX: 7 AUGUST DEADLINE IS NEAR โฐ

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax is now live. Most self-employed individuals and landlords who had turnover above ยฃ50,000 in 2024/25 were mandated into the regime from 6 April 2026.

Under MTD, you must keep digital records and submit updates to HMRC every quarter using compatible software. This is a significant change from the old system, where most reporting took place after the end of the tax year.

The first quarterly update for 2026/27 is due by 7 August 2026.

This deadline is approaching quickly, and it is important that records are complete and up to date well before then.

If we maintain your bookkeeping or prepare your submissions, you will need to send us your records in good time. Leaving this until the last minute creates unnecessary risk and may lead to delays or errors.

๐Ÿ”— If you're unsure what information we need, or whether MTD applies to you, please get in touch as soon as possible: https://franchiseaccountingspecialists.co.uk/contact
