🎁 Tax Tip Tuesday 🎁

Did you know your limited company can give tax-free gifts to staff AND directors?

Many business owners don’t realise their limited company can give staff and directors small gifts completely free of personal tax and National Insurance, while receiving corporation tax relief, thanks to “trivial benefits”.

To qualify, each gift must meet all of the following:

✅ Cost £50 or less (inc. VAT)
✅ NOT be cash or cash equivalent
✅ NOT be given as a reward for work or performance
✅ NOT be something the employee is contractually entitled to

There’s no limit on the number of trivial benefits you can give to regular employees, as long as each one meets the criteria above.

⚠️ However, if you’re a director of a company, there’s an annual cap of £300 per director per tax year.

💡 That’s why we often tell our clients to spread this out as six separate £50 vouchers across the year.

A simple, compliant way to reward you and your team while reducing the company’s tax bill at the same time.

Meet the Team: Nathan 👋

Since we’re introducing new faces, we thought it was about time we introduced the face behind Taxsure!

Nathan is the founder and director, and the reason our practice exists in the first place. After 8 years of working in accountancy, Nathan set out to build something different: a firm where clients get straight answers, proactive advice, and an accountant who actually wants to help you be more tax efficient. Not just a service that turns up once a year at tax return time.

What Nathan enjoys most is helping business owners feel properly on top of their finances, and building the kind of long-term relationships where clients genuinely trust the advice they’re getting and sleep better at night.

Outside of work, Nathan enjoys spending time with his family and friends whether it’s a hike, road trip, or a pub quiz. He’s very much a people’s person.

Nathan’s focus now is growing a team that shares that same approach, so every Taxsure client gets the same level of care and tax saving solutions, whoever they’re speaking to.

If you haven’t said hello yet, now’s your chance! 😁

🏡 Tax Tip Tuesday 🏡

Working from home? Make sure you’re claiming it properly.

✅ If you’re self-employed, you can claim a proportion of your household bills (heating, electricity, broadband, even rent/mortgage interest) or you can use HMRC’s flat rate of £6 per week (2026/27). Whichever works out better for you.

✅ If you run a limited company, there’s another option worth knowing about. A formal licence or lease arrangement, where your company pays you rent for using a room in your home for business. Set up correctly, this is a deductible expense for the company and can be a more tax-efficient way of extracting value than a flat-rate claim.

⚠️ This requires the correct paperwork and calculations to stay HMRC-compliant.

Not sure which approach fits your business? Get in touch with us and we’ll talk you through it.

Having a good accountant isn’t a cost. It’s an investment.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been running your business for years, the maths is the same: what you get back is worth far more than what you pay.

💷 Increased tax efficiency: we find legitimate ways to help you keep more of what you earn, not just file a return

📈 A partner in growth: someone who spots opportunities and problems before they get expensive

🛡️ Fewer costly mistakes: the errors a DIY approach can rack up often cost way more than accountancy fees (interest and penalties from HMRC)

⏰ Hours back in your week: no more evenings lost to spreadsheets and HMRC deadlines

🎯 Focus where it counts: spend your energy building the business, not buried in bookkeeping and tax returns

❤️ Time with the people who matter: your business shouldn’t cost you your evenings and weekends

😴 Peace of mind: sleep better knowing your finances are in safe hands and nothing’s been missed

Starting a business and want to build good habits from day one? Or already running one and ready to stop firefighting with your finances? Either way, we have a solution for you.

At Taxsure, we take a proactive approach to accounting. Providing tailored and reliable tax saving solutions, rather than reactive and generic advice.

If you’re based in Norwich, pop in for a coffee ☕️ or feel free to contact us directly to arrange a meeting today

Meet the Team: Lauren 👋

We're delighted to introduce Lauren, who joins Taxsure as an Accounts Assistant!

Ask a business owner when they last spoke to their accountant, and a lot of them have to think about it.

Once a year. Usually when the deadlines are looming.

That's not an accountant, that's a historian. And it's the reason so many businesses end up paying more tax than they need to; because the conversations that actually save you money happen during the year, not months after it's finished.

By the time your accounts are signed off, every decision that mattered has already been made.

Genuine question for the business owners here: When did you last actually speak to your accountant? Not an email about paperwork. A conversation.

1️⃣ This month
2️⃣ A few months ago
3️⃣ Once a year, when the bill lands
4️⃣ Genuinely can't remember

Drop a number below 👇

For what it's worth, if you're a 3 or a 4, you're almost certainly paying more tax than you need to. The advice that saves you money has to happen before the year ends, not after.

⏰ Making Tax Digital doesn’t have to mean Making Tax Difficult ‼️

Sole traders and landlords, are you ready for Making Tax Digital? 💻

Norwich Pride is today, and we'll be celebrating alongside our city🌈

Did you know? 💡
- LGBTQIA+ owned businesses contribute £106 billion in annual turnover to the UK economy.
- At least 250,000 LGBTQIA+ owned businesses operate nationwide, supporting and employing at least 750,000 people.

That's not a footnote in our economy, it's a serious chunk of it 💷

As accountants, we work with businesses across Norwich and beyond every day. Inclusive workplaces and communities aren't just the right thing, they're where good businesses grow.

Nathan's out and about celebrating. If you see him, say hey! 👋🏳️‍🌈
