Employee benefits: Are you creating tax problems without realising it⁉️

Providing benefits and covering expenses for employees is a common part of running a business, but it is important to understand the tax implications.

A benefit that appears simple or low value could create unexpected reporting obligations or result in additional tax and National Insurance liabilities if it is not treated correctly.

Keeping on top of tax rules is one of the harder parts of running a small or medium-sized business, and the last couple of years have brought more change than most.

Following the Autumn Budget on 26 November 2025 and the arrival of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax in April 2026, many business owners are understandably unsure where they now stand.

Getting this right matters, both for staying compliant and for protecting your margins.

Our latest blog sets out where things actually stand for SMEs in 2026, cutting through the noise. We look at what has genuinely changed, how it affects day-to-day running costs and planning, the funding and support currently available, and the practical steps worth taking now.

The aim is to give you a clear, accurate picture rather than a list of headlines.

🐉 Our Director Richard Barnes had a great time as a Dragon at the Chorley edition of Dragons' Den organised by Chorley Council at Strawberry Fields last week!

Four intrepid pitchers earned themselves some rock-solid support from a lineup of Chorley's best and brightest business leaders!

Who all received a valuable bundle of legal, financial, business mentoring and digital marketing advice.

Thanks to the fellow Dragons from DigiEnable, CG Professional and Fertile.Digital

What a great day supporting Chorley businesses!
