💼 Can You Claim Entertainment Expenses? (UK Tax Guide)

Short answer: Usually… no. ❌
But there are a few important exceptions 👇

🍽️ Client Entertainment
Taking clients out for meals, drinks, or events?
➡️ Not allowable for Corporation Tax
➡️ You still need to record it properly

🎉 Staff Entertainment
Good news! This can be allowable ✅
✔️ Staff parties (e.g. Christmas party, annual summer bbq)
✔️ Annual events up to £150 per person (limit not an allowance)
✔️ Must be open to all employees

☕ Everyday Staff Costs
Small perks like team lunches or coffee?
➡️ Often allowable if they’re for staff welfare

🚨 Watch Out
• Mixing staff + clients? The client portion is disallowed
• Doesn’t matter if it brings in business—HMRC still says no

💡 Top Tip:
Always keep receipts and clearly separate staff vs client costs

📩 Not sure what you can claim? Drop us a message—we’re happy to help!

Celebrating International Women’s Day in the most creative way 🎨✨ 🖌️

Yesterday’s women-only networking session was extra special as we spent the afternoon pottery painting, sharing stories, laughter, and inspiration🪻

There’s something powerful about women coming together to create, support, and uplift one anothe🩷

A huge thank you to the amazing organisers (Leonard Curtis) for putting together such a thoughtful and empowering event — it was truly a beautiful reminder of the strength of community🌷

A special thank you goes out to Helen from who did a wonderful job running the event 🙏🏻

📢 Making Tax Digital for Income Tax – Coming April 2026

From April 2026, Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax will become mandatory for many self-employed individuals and landlords.

If your annual gross income from self-employment and/or property is over £50,000, you’ll need to:

✔️ Keep digital records
✔️ Submit quarterly updates to HMRC
✔️ File a final end-of-year declaration

MTD is part of the government’s wider digital tax transformation led by HM Revenue & Customs to make the tax system more efficient and accurate.

If you think this may apply to you, now is the time to prepare. Moving to compatible software early can make the transition smooth and stress-free.

📩 Get in touch with us to discuss how we can help you get MTD ready.

🥞 Happy Pancake Day! 🥞

We’ve been a little quiet on here recently – it’s been a busy season for us (turns out tax returns don’t file themselves 😉).

But we couldn’t let Pancake Day pass without flipping back into your feed!

Shrove Tuesday was traditionally the last chance to use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk and sugar before the start of Lent – a bit of forward planning we can definitely appreciate.

Fun fact: The famous pancake race in Olney dates back to 1445, when a woman reportedly ran to church still holding her frying pan! Talk about racing to meet a deadline… ⏱️

Whether you’re balancing the books or balancing your pancake flip, we hope your day is stacked with success (and plenty of toppings). 🍋🍓
