The Companies House identity verification transition closes on 18 November 2026. That is four weeks from today. 🔎

Every company director and every person with significant control has to be verified. It is not optional, and once the transition closes a company that has not complied cannot file properly, with an offence on the statute book for the non-compliance.

Most directors get asked to verify around their next confirmation statement. If yours falls after the transition closes, you do not get to wait for it.

It takes minutes. The problem is never the doing, it is the assuming somebody else did it. 📌

PAYE and National Insurance for the month ended 5 October is due by 19 October if you pay by post, or 22 October if you pay electronically. 📅

The bit that catches smaller employers is the quarterly option. If your average monthly PAYE bill is under £1,500 you can pay four times a year instead of twelve, and the quarter that just ended on 5 October is due on exactly those same dates.

So a quarterly payer who has not thought about PAYE since July has a payment due next week.

Both dates are weekdays this month, so there is no weekend rule to argue about. ⏰

Or hand payroll over and stop watching the calendar. 01270 260600.

Paper Self Assessment returns for 2025/26 have to reach HMRC by 31 October. Here is the part almost nobody knows. 💡

If you meant to file on paper and the 31st goes past, you can still avoid a late filing penalty by filing online instead, as long as that is done by 31 January.

But if you post a paper return after 31 October, that penalty is yours. Filing again online before January will not undo it.

So if the paper deadline is going to beat you, the answer is not to post it anyway. The answer is to go online. 📌

Not sure which route you are on? Ring 01270 260600.

This is the single belief that stops people doing their tax return in October, and it is simply not true. 💡

File your 2025/26 return tomorrow and the tax still is not due until 31 January 2027. Nothing leaves your bank a day sooner.

What changes is that you find out the number three months early. Three months to put it aside, three months to spot that a payment on account is coming, three months to do something about it if the figure is a shock.

The alternative is finding out in late January, which is also when everybody else is finding out. ✅

Get the number early. Ring 01270 260600.

For anyone already inside MTD for Income Tax, the quarter to 5 October closed on Monday, and that update has to be submitted by 7 November. 💡

This is the part people have not adjusted to yet. It is not one return once a year any more. It is four updates in the year plus a final declaration, and the dates do not shift.

The first band in is self employed people and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000. The £30,000 band follows in April 2027, which sounds a long way off and is actually two filing seasons.

The ones finding it painless are the ones who got their records in order before they were made to. 📌

Want MTD handled rather than survived? Call 01270 260600.

If your VAT quarter ended on 31 August, the return and the payment both need to be with HMRC by the end of today. 📅

One calendar month plus seven days after the period ends. No weekend grace, no few days' leeway, and it does not move for anybody.

On direct debit? HMRC collect roughly three working days after the filing deadline, so the return still has to go in on time.

If today has caught you out, set the next one now. The quarter to 30 November is due 7 January, which is the worst possible week to be remembering it. ✅

Hand the quarterly VAT over and stop counting the days. Call 01270 260600.

The quarter closes today, and from here the Self Assessment season is a straight run. 📋

The people who find January easy are not the organised ones. They are the ones who did a small amount of tidying in October instead of a large amount of panicking after Christmas.

Bank statements in one place. Receipts out of the glovebox. Anything unusual this year flagged while you still remember what it was.

That is the whole trick. There isn't a clever bit. ✅

Rather hand the lot over? 01270 260600.

If you began trading, went self employed or started letting out a property during the 2025/26 tax year, HMRC needs to know by 5 October 2026. 📌

It applies if you have never filed a return before, or if you filed previously but did not need to for 2024/25. The trigger for sole traders is gross trading income over £1,000.

Miss it and the penalty is not the usual £100. It is a failure to notify penalty, worked out as a percentage of the tax you owe, which makes it a lot more expensive and a lot more open ended.

Registering takes minutes. Leaving it does not. ✅

Not sure whether it applies to you? Ring 01270 260600.

It is one of the most persistent myths in small business payroll, and it catches employers out every September. 💡

There is no special student form and no student exemption. The old P38(S) was scrapped back in 2013.

A student working over the summer or through term goes onto normal RTI payroll, with the same tax code rules as any other employee. Whether they actually pay tax depends on their earnings, not their status.

Same goes for the harvest casual who did six weeks and has gone back to university. They still need a P45. ✅
