Think a new boiler and a lick of paint get treated the same way on your books?

Landlords often deal with a mix of repairs, replacements, and improvements, and each can be categorised differently for reporting purposes depending on what was actually done.

Blurring the lines between these can lead to inaccurate expense records, inconsistent rental income reports, or confusion when pulling together figures across multiple properties.

Simon & Co helps landlords keep property income, expenses, and records organised and accurate, property by property.

Picture a rulebook getting a trim: the government's new consultation wants to lighten reporting burdens for SMEs, scrap complex distributable profits rules for a solvency test, and trust firms to tell their own story. Audit exemptions could widen, while micro-entities face tighter standards instead. Backers say it boosts growth and competitiveness; sceptics worry self-regulation leaves gaps. 📊 Could loosening the rules actually protect investors better, or open the door to risk?

Think Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is still years away? If you're a sole trader or landlord registered for Self Assessment and your qualifying income is over the relevant threshold, it already applies.

HMRC writes to those affected, but if no letter arrives it remains your responsibility to check and get signed up in time.

Simon & Co helps by:
- working out your qualifying income for each tax year
- checking whether you must sign up or may be exempt
- getting compatible software and agent authorisation in place

Get in touch to check where you stand well before the next start date of 6 April 2027.

Placing temps on payroll and assuming that's the end of the admin?

Recruitment agencies often juggle PAYE workers, limited company contractors, and umbrella arrangements, each with different invoicing, VAT, and reporting treatment.

Mixing these up can lead to payroll errors, VAT discrepancies on margin calculations, or messy reconciliation between timesheets and invoices.

Simon & Co supports recruitment businesses with clear bookkeeping, accurate payroll handling, and organised reporting across contractor and temp arrangements.

Imagine 300,000 people vanishing from work each year, with barely a 4% chance of return. That's Britain's hidden crisis. Sir Charlie Mayfield calls it "insidious" - a culture of fear where managers stay silent, sick notes flow freely (11 million last year), and young people's mental health struggles soar 77% in a decade. The fix? A simple phone call, not a text. 📞 Could genuine conversation be the cure for Britain's £333 billion welfare bill? What do you think - share below.
