If your business operates as a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), a recent UK Supreme Court ruling could have important tax implications.

The Court has confirmed that only legally enforceable rights set out in an LLP agreement count when deciding whether a member has significant influence over the business.

This means that experience, seniority, or informal decision-making alone will not satisfy the test.

Why is this important?

If an LLP member meets all three salaried member conditions, they may be treated as an employee for Income Tax and National Insurance purposes rather than as self-employed.

The three key tests are:

✔️ Most of the member's income is disguised salary
✔️ They do not have significant legally enforceable influence over the LLP
✔️ Their capital contribution is less than 25% of their disguised salary

This ruling could affect professional practices, investment firms, and many other LLPs, making it a good time to review your LLP agreement and member arrangements.

Bought Equipment for Your Business?

You may not need to wait years to claim tax relief.

With Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), many businesses can claim 100% tax relief on qualifying plant and machinery in the year it’s purchased.

Eligible items can include:
✔ Computers & laptops
✔ Office furniture
✔ Business machinery
✔ Vans (subject to rules)
✔ Tools & equipment

Caption

Many business owners assume that the cost of equipment has to be claimed over several years.

In many cases, that’s not true.

If your business purchases qualifying plant and machinery, you may be able to claim 100% tax relief through the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) in the same accounting period, rather than spreading the deduction over time.

Common qualifying purchases include:
• Computers and IT equipment
• Office desks, chairs and furniture
• Manufacturing or workshop machinery
• Business tools and equipment
• Certain commercial vehicles such as vans (subject to the relevant tax rules)

Planning these purchases before your accounting year-end can have a significant impact on your taxable profits.

Not every asset qualifies, and the rules vary depending on the type of expenditure, so it’s worth reviewing your investment plans before making major purchases.

Need advice on claiming capital allowances correctly? The team at Zaidi & Co can help you maximise the relief available while staying fully compliant.

The Finance Act 2026 has introduced several important tax changes that could affect business owners, landlords, investors, and company directors.

Here are four changes you shouldn't ignore:

❄️ Income Tax Thresholds Remain Frozen Until 2031
As incomes rise but tax bands stay the same, more people could gradually move into higher tax brackets.

📈 Dividend Tax Rates Have Increased
The basic rate has increased by 2%, meaning many shareholders and company directors may pay more tax on dividend income.

🏦 Inheritance Tax & Pensions
Unused pension pots will generally become part of your estate for Inheritance Tax purposes under the new rules, making estate planning more important than ever.

🏭 Capital Allowances Updated
The main writing-down allowance has reduced to 14%, while a new 40% First-Year Allowance has been introduced for qualifying expenditure, creating new planning opportunities for businesses.

These aren't just legislative updates—they could influence how you invest, withdraw profits, plan your estate, and manage your business over the coming years.

At Zaidi & Co, we help individuals and businesses understand what these changes mean in practice and build tax strategies that adapt as the rules evolve.

HMRC is introducing tougher measures for tax returns containing reckless untrue statements.

The message is simple:

If you're unsure about a figure, don't estimate it or submit it without checking.

The new rules focus on situations where someone files a tax return using information they know may be incorrect—or where they ignore obvious risks instead of verifying the facts.

This could affect:

• Business owners
• Individual taxpayers
• Accountants and tax advisers

The key takeaway?

📌 Keep accurate records.
📌 Verify your figures before filing.
📌 Don't rely on assumptions or incomplete information.

Making an honest mistake is very different from submitting figures without taking reasonable steps to ensure they're correct.

At Zaidi & Co, we help businesses and individuals prepare accurate tax returns backed by reliable records—giving you confidence before anything is submitted to HMRC.

Many parents assume that any money saved in their child's name is automatically tax-free.

Not always.

While children generally have their own Personal Allowance and can earn up to £12,570 before paying Income Tax, there's an important HMRC rule that often catches families by surprise.

If a parent gifts money to their child and that money generates more than £100 of interest per year, the interest is usually treated as the parent's income for tax purposes—not the child's.

This rule applies per parent, per child, and it's designed to prevent parents from reducing their own tax liability by transferring savings.

Understanding how savings are taxed can make a real difference when planning for your child's future.

At Zaidi & Co, we help families structure their finances in a tax-efficient way while staying fully compliant with HMRC rules.

Major payroll changes are on the horizon, and employers should start preparing now.

HMRC has confirmed that mandatory payrolling of Benefits in Kind (BiKs) will be introduced in phases, giving businesses time to adapt before the new rules become compulsory.

If you provide employee benefits such as:

🚗 Company cars
🏥 Private medical insurance
🎁 Other taxable employee benefits
..your payroll processes may need updating.

The new requirements will include:

✅ Reporting Benefits in Kind through payroll
✅ Collecting Income Tax in real time instead of through year-end adjustments
✅ Applying Class 1A National Insurance through payroll

Although implementation is being phased in, preparing early can help you avoid reporting errors, payroll disruption, and unnecessary compliance risks.

At Zaidi & Co, we help businesses stay ahead of HMRC changes by reviewing payroll systems, ensuring compliance, and making the transition as smooth as possible.
