Is running payroll taking valuable time away from your CIC’s real mission?

Paying staff and directors correctly involves more than producing payslips.

Your CIC may need to manage:

✅ PAYE and National Insurance
✅ RTI submissions to HMRC
✅ Workplace pension auto-enrolment
✅ Accurate payslips and payroll records
✅ Director remuneration
✅ Payroll deadlines and ongoing compliance

Mistakes can mean extra work, unhappy employees and avoidable HMRC problems.

At KG Accountants, our specialist payroll team understands Community Interest Companies and social enterprises.

We handle the payroll, so you can spend more time delivering the community impact your CIC was created for.

Got a side hustle? HMRC may expect to hear from you.

Extra income can quickly create tax responsibilities many people do not realise they have.

If you earned more than £1,000 from self-employment or side-hustle income, you may need to register for Self Assessment.

Key dates to know:

📅 Register by 5 October 2026, if required.
📅 File online and pay tax by 31 January 2027.

Whether you freelance, sell online, provide services, or earn extra income alongside your main job, it is worth checking your position early.

Don't leave it until January and discover you have a tax return to prepare.

⚠️ Only a few FREE consultation slots remain.

When they're gone, they're gone.

**Is your CIC34 Report ready—or is it another job being left until the filing deadline?**

Every Community Interest Company must prepare a CIC34 Community Interest Company Report each year.

But it isn't simply another form.

Your CIC34 helps explain what your organisation actually achieved for the community.

You may need to report on:

✅ The community benefit your CIC delivered
✅ How stakeholders were consulted
✅ Director remuneration
✅ Transfers of assets, where relevant
✅ How your activities supported your CIC's social purpose

A rushed or poorly prepared CIC34 can fail to properly reflect the work your organisation has done.

At KG Accountants, we help CIC directors prepare their CIC34 alongside their annual accounts, giving them confidence that their reporting is clear and properly handled.

⚠️ **Only a few FREE initial consultation slots remain.**

**When they're gone, they're gone.**

If your CIC34 and annual accounts are approaching their deadline, speak to a CIC specialist now.

**CIC accounts deadline getting close? Don’t wait until Companies House becomes the problem.**

Many CIC directors think filing their annual accounts will be straightforward.

Then they discover missing records, unfinished accounts, CIC34 information still to prepare, or filing details they can’t access.

Suddenly, a manageable job becomes a last-minute compliance problem.

Before filing, make sure you have:

✅ Complete and accurate accounting records
✅ Your statutory CIC accounts prepared
✅ Your CIC34 Community Interest Report completed
✅ The necessary approvals in place
✅ Everything ready for Companies House submission

The earlier you deal with gaps, the more time you have to put them right.

Our latest guide explains how to file CIC accounts properly and avoid common mistakes before deadlines become urgent.

**Good news for pubs, social clubs and live music venues.**

A **20% business rates cut** is due from April 2027 for nearly 32,000 eligible venues in England.

For the typical pub, the saving is expected to be around **£1,100**.

But a rates reduction shouldn't simply disappear into everyday costs.

For business owners, this is a good opportunity to review:

✅ Cash flow and future budgets
✅ Business rates and operating costs
✅ Tax planning
✅ Investment and growth plans
✅ How potential savings could strengthen the business

Planning ahead means you can make better use of the relief when it arrives.

**Thinking about setting up a CIC? What you decide before applying can shape your organisation for years.**

CIC formation isn't simply about completing an online application.

Before you register, you need to think carefully about:

✅ CIC limited by guarantee or shares
✅ Your community purpose and beneficiaries
✅ Your CIC36 Community Interest Statement
✅ The asset lock
✅ Your Articles of Association
✅ Directors and governance arrangements
✅ How your structure may affect future funding

Weak CIC36 wording, unsuitable Articles, or choosing the wrong structure can create unnecessary questions, delays, and rework.

Our latest guide explains the CIC formation process in plain English and highlights what founders should get right **before** applying.

**Could one accident, claim, or cyber incident put your CIC’s mission at risk?**

The right insurance helps protect your people, your assets, and the communities you serve.

Depending on how your CIC operates, you may need to consider:

✅ Public liability insurance
✅ Employers’ liability insurance
✅ Directors’ and officers’ cover
✅ Cyber insurance
✅ Protection for equipment, premises, and activities

Insurance is not only about meeting requirements.

It is about giving directors, staff, volunteers, funders, and stakeholders greater confidence that the organisation is properly protected.
