🚨 UK business owners — the tax rules are changing again, and it’s easy to miss something important.
If you’re self-employed, running a limited company, paying CIS workers, or trying to keep on top of VAT… you may already feel like HMRC updates arrive faster than invoices get paid. 😅
A few things worth checking right now:
• Making Tax Digital is expanding, meaning more people will need digital records and compatible software.
• Corporation Tax, VAT and payroll deadlines still need careful planning — especially if cash flow is tight.
• Employers need to stay on top of National Minimum Wage changes, pension duties and payroll reporting.
• If you are taking money from your limited company, the way you pay yourself can make a big difference to your tax bill.
• CIS contractors and subcontractors: incorrect deductions, missing verification or late returns can quickly become expensive.
The biggest mistake we see? Waiting until the deadline is close before looking at the numbers.
Good bookkeeping is not just for HMRC. It helps you know what you can afford, what tax is coming, whether you are making profit and where money is disappearing.
At AYN Accountancy, we help small businesses keep things simple, organised and stress-free — from bookkeeping and VAT to payroll, CIS, self-assessment and limited company accounts.
