Myth: "Accounting fees are just an extra cost to the business."

Busted.

The right accounting advice doesn't cost you, it pays you back. Think tax savings, smarter financial decisions, and penalties avoided before they ever happen. The businesses that treat their accountant as an investment, not an expense, are usually the ones that come out ahead.

Watch the VAT registration threshold, and don't wait until you've already crossed it. Right now, you must register for VAT once your taxable turnover for the past 12 months goes over £90,000. That's a rolling 12-month total, not a tax year, so it's worth checking regularly rather than once a year.

There's a second trigger too: if you expect your turnover to go over £90,000 in the next 30 days alone (say a big contract just landed), you have to register straight away rather than waiting for the 12-month test to catch up.

Once you're over the line, you have 30 days from the end of the month you crossed it to register with HMRC. Miss that and you can end up owing VAT backdated to when you should have registered, plus a possible penalty on top.

If you're getting close to £90,000, don't leave it to chance. Get in touch with Accounting 4 Everything today. Call our Torbay office on 01803 500202 or our Exeter office on 01392 321666, or visit www.accounting4everything.com to find out more.

BUSTED: Tax returns are just one small piece of the puzzle. A good accountant is with you all year round, not just at deadline time. Think:

Bookkeeping that keeps your numbers accurate and up to date
Cash flow forecasting so you're never caught off guard
Payroll and compliance handled for you
Strategic advice on pricing, growth, and cutting unnecessary costs
Help choosing and setting up the right software for your business
Support making big decisions, like hiring, investing, or expanding

Your accountant should be one of the first calls you make when something changes in your business, not just the person you hear from once a year.

At Accounting4Everything, we're in your corner every day, not just at tax time.

For 2025/26, individuals get a £3,000 tax free allowance on gains from things like selling shares, property (not your main home), or other assets. If you don't use it by 5 April, it's gone for good.

If you're planning to sell an asset soon, timing it right could save you money, whether that means using this year's allowance before it disappears or spreading a sale across two tax years to use both.

Not sure how this applies to you? Get in touch with the team at Accounting4Everything today and we'll help you plan it properly.

💰 Give your business the breathing room it deserves

One of the most important things any business owner can do is build a cash reserve — ideally enough to cover at least two months of your outgoings.

It sounds simple, but so many businesses run lean, relying on next month's income to cover this month's bills. That works fine — until it doesn't. A major client pays late, a big unexpected expense lands, or a quiet month catches you off guard.

A cash buffer means you can weather those moments without panic, without borrowing, and without making rushed decisions just to keep the lights on.

Here's a simple way to start building yours:

✅ Work out your average monthly outgoings — wages, rent, suppliers, software, everything
✅ Set a target of 2x that figure as your reserve
✅ Open a separate savings account and move a small fixed amount in each month
✅ Treat it as untouchable except for genuine emergencies

It doesn't happen overnight — but every pound you put in is a pound of breathing room.

If you're not sure where your cash is going each month or want help getting a clearer picture of your finances, we're here to help. A quick conversation could make a real difference.

Myth Busted 💡

Myth: Cloud accounting software is too complicated for small businesses.

Mythbuster: Most cloud tools are actually built to make day to day bookkeeping simpler, not harder. Real time numbers, less paperwork, and everything in one place. With Making Tax Digital rules expanding, it's fast becoming the norm rather than the exception, so getting comfortable with it now puts you ahead rather than playing catch up later.

If you're still relying on spreadsheets (or a shoebox of receipts), we can help you make the switch to cloud accounting, without the stress. Get in touch with the team today to find out how we can get you set up.

💡 Friday Top Tip: Are you claiming the right mileage rate?

HMRC's rate for cars and vans went up this year, first change since 2011. If you use your own car for business journeys, you can now claim: 🚗 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles 🚗 25p per mile after that

Keep a simple log of your journeys as you go, it's the easiest relief to claim, and the easiest one to lose out on without proper records.

Want to check you're claiming everything you're entitled to? Get in touch: www.accounting4everything.com or 01803 500202.

🔍 MYTH BUSTER FRIDAY

Myth: "If a client doesn't send me a receipt or invoice record, I don't have to report the income."

Fact: All income is taxable, whether or not paperwork exists. HMRC expects it to be declared accurately regardless of what records your client keeps (or doesn't).

Don't let missing paperwork turn into a bigger problem at tax time. Get in touch with our team today and we'll make sure your records and returns are watertight. 👉 www.accounting4everything.com

📢 Making Tax Digital is HERE - are you ready?

As of April 2026, self-employed people and landlords with combined qualifying income above £50,000 must follow Making Tax Digital rules for income tax. That means digital record keeping and quarterly updates to HMRC through compatible software - no more once-a-year scramble!

And it doesn't stop there 👇
✅ Over £50,000? You should already be on board
✅ Over £30,000? Your turn comes in April 2027
✅ Over £20,000? You'll join from April 2028

⚠️ Important: the thresholds are based on your GROSS income (before expenses), not profit - so many people are caught out sooner than they expect!

Don't wait for a letter from HMRC to land on your doormat. Whether you need help choosing software, getting set up, or want us to handle it all for you, we've got you covered.
