Your first MTD deadline is closer than it feels

If you’re a sole trader earning over £50k, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax isn’t coming — it’s already here. Your first quarterly update is due 7 August 2026.

The rules are stricter than most people realise:
→ It’s based on gross income, not profit
→ HMRC can charge up to £3,000 for records that aren’t kept digitally
→ Once you’re in, you stay in for a minimum of 3 years
I put together a free guide that covers exactly what to check, what software you need, and what to do before your first submission — no jargon, just the practical steps.

*Comment “MTD” below and I’ll send it straight over.*

It’s not too late to get an accountant on board for MTD!!

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is here! And if you’re self-employed or a landlord earning over £50k, it’s already mandatory. The £30k threshold lands in April 2027, and £20k the year after. If that’s you, the clock is ticking either way.

Quarterly digital updates. HMRC recognised software. A whole new way of reporting your income.

It sounds like a lot… because it is, if you’re doing it alone.

That’s why we’ve built MTD support around *3 tiers*, so you only pay for what you actually need:

🟢 *Compliance* — We get you set up and submitting on time. Digital records, quarterly updates, done properly.

🔵 *Confidence* — Everything in Compliance, plus regular check-ins and proactive tax planning, so there are no surprises in January.

🟣 *Complete* — Fully managed. You send us your records, we handle the rest. MTD, totally off your plate.

Whichever level you need, the worst move right now is doing nothing.

VAT just dropped to 5% on kids’ meals and family days out this summer 🎡

From 25th June, if you run a restaurant, café, soft play, attraction, or entertainment venue — your VAT rate on qualifying supplies drops from 20% to 5% until 1st September.

The rules are detailed. It only applies to meals specifically marketed as children’s meals. Tickets only qualify if they’re for admission within the summer window. Bundle in food or merchandise and you’ll need to split it out. If you get it wrong then your VAT return will have a problem.

As a business owner, there are two things you should be doing right now:
1️⃣ Work out if this applies to you
2️⃣ Make sure your pricing, software and invoicing reflects the correct rate before 25th June!

If you’re not sure where you stand, drop us a message and we’ll get it sorted. That’s what we’re here for.

Big news for anyone who drives for work 🚗

HMRC has just increased the approved mileage rate for the first time in 15 years.

If you’re self-employed or use your personal car for business, this means you can now claim more back — and if you haven’t been tracking your mileage, you’ve likely been leaving money on the table.

Here’s what you should do right now:
✅ Start logging every business journey (date, destination, purpose, miles)
✅ Use an app or a simple spreadsheet — consistency matters more than perfection
✅ Chat to your accountant about whether your current setup is maximising your claim
Small changes in the rules = real money back in your pocket.

Not sure how this affects you? Drop me a message — happy to help 👇

Let’s clear a few things up.

Myth 1: “I don’t earn enough to need an accountant”
The truth: If you’re self-employed and earning, you need to file a tax return. Getting it right, and claiming everything you’re entitled to, often saves more than the accountant costs.

Myth 2: “Accountants are too expensive”
The truth: At MOSH, sole trader packages start from £15/month. That’s less than most people spend on a streaming subscription.

Myth 3: “I’ll only hear from my accountant once a year”
The truth: That might be how it works elsewhere, but not here. At MOSH, you can contact us anytime and we’ll always get back to you. No extra charges, no waiting until January.

We started MOSH because we wanted to do things differently. Friendly, approachable, and always on your side.

If any of those myths sound familiar, maybe it’s time for a fresh start.

First consultation is free! No obligation, just a conversation.

If you’re a sole trader, you could be overpaying tax without even realising it.

Here are 5 expenses that often get missed:

1. Mileage — every business journey counts, even the short ones
2. Working from home allowance — yes, even if it’s just your kitchen table
3. Your mobile phone bill — if you use it for work, you can claim a portion
4. Professional subscriptions and memberships
5. Bank charges on your business account

These might sound small, but they add up, and every pound you claim is a pound less tax you pay.

Not sure if something is claimable? That’s exactly what we’re here for. At MOSH, our clients can ask us questions anytime, no extra charge, ever.

Sole trader packages start from just £15/month. Free consultation to get started.
