Did you know cryptoassets aren't tax-free? With crypto ownership booming (around 741 million people globally now hold it), more people are finding out the hard way that HMRC still expects gains to be reported.

Our latest blog covers what actually counts as a taxable "disposal" (selling, swapping, spending, even gifting in some cases), plus the records you need to keep before your exchange deletes the data. Worth a read if you've dabbled in crypto this year 👇

Every January, the same thing happens: HMRC's phone lines jam, inboxes fill up, and accountants field a wave of last-minute questions - for a tax year that ended nine months earlier.

Mid-September is a much better time to get started on your Self Assessment. In our latest blog post, we look at why filing early isn't really about beating the deadline (it's the same either way) - it's about turning your tax return from a once-a-year fire drill into a task you have full visibility over.

Read the full article to find out what starting early actually looks like: https://www.bidwellaccountancy.com/latest-news/why-now-is-the-best-time-to-start-your-self-assessment/

🚐 **Buying new equipment for your business? Should you buy it or lease it?**

It might be a van, machinery, computers or specialist equipment – but the way you pay for it can have a big impact on your business.

Our latest blog explains the pros and cons of both and the financial questions worth asking **before** you commit.

At Bidwell Accountancy, we can help you run the numbers and understand the impact on your cashflow and tax position.

Read our latest blog and get in touch if you’re considering a significant business purchase.
