In a bid to ignite growth and cut through bureaucratic red tape, Chancellor John Healey made waves in Coventry, vowing to revolutionise the judicial review process for key infrastructure projects. “I'll take an axe to the thicket of consultation,” he declared, highlighting how delays, like those for Sizewell C, have hindered progress. His vision includes empowering Parliament to shield essential projects from legal challenges and prioritising project delivery over endless consultations. With a goal to double UK unicorns, one wonders: can streamlined processes really unleash the entrepreneurial spirit? 🤔 Join the conversation below!

Think VAT only matters once you’re “properly big”? Many small UK businesses hit the £90,000 threshold faster than they expect.

If your taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in 12 months – or you know it will in the next 30 days – you must register and start accounting for VAT. Miss it, and HMRC can charge backdated VAT and penalties.

Sanders Swinbank can:
• Check if you need to register (or can register voluntarily)
• Handle VAT registration or cancellation
• Advise on NI/EU VAT and OSS
• Keep your VAT details up to date

A shift is coming to Companies House, where from December, you'll need to use the new 'Make an objection' online service for any objections to a limited company being struck off. If you're a new user, embracing the GOV.UK One Login system is essential, allowing you to streamline access with just one email and password. Existing users can still use their old details for now but will need to transition later. Remember, no more shared accounts—each person must have their own login. With these changes, is your business ready for the digital future? 💻 What are your thoughts?

As winter approaches, Ofgem has announced a 4% rise in the energy price cap, affecting around 22 million households from 1 October to 31 December 2026. This increase stems from soaring wholesale gas prices, driven largely by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, leaving many worried about their energy bills. Interestingly, the government’s move to remove VAT from domestic electricity bills offers a glimmer of relief amidst rising costs. While businesses remain shielded from the cap, they may still feel the heat of escalating wholesale prices. How will these changes affect your winter budgeting? 💡

Still think Making Tax Digital for Income Tax only affects “big” businesses? It may already apply to you.

If you’re a sole trader or landlord with qualifying income over £50,000 in 2024–25, you should now be using MTD for Income Tax. HMRC will check your returns each year and write to you if you’re over the threshold – but it’s still your responsibility to be compliant.

Ignore it and you risk stress, penalties, and last‑minute scrambles.

Sanders Swinbank can help you:
• Check if and when MTD for Income Tax applies to you
• Work out your qualifying income and thresholds
• Choose and set up compliant software
• Register you (or your clients) and deal with HMRC
• Review whether an exemption might apply

Not sure where you stand? Contact Sanders Swinbank today to get clear on your MTD position and next steps.
