And that's a wrap on the summer holidays! We went to the lakes and Disneyland during the holidays and a trip to the farm. Other than that we enjoyed getting outside, making the most of the good stretch of dry weather!

Emily is back to school today and Paige started her new pre-school yesterday! I'm straight into work today with a catch-up with Abby. But I'm having a long weekend away with the girls next weekend as a nice treat for the start of September!

Do you take some time for yourself at the start of September? What will you do?

Is your business looking like it's going to reach the VAT threshold in the not-too-distant future? How can you be prepared for this?

Have you thought about getting ahead and using a bookkeeper now so that your books are in great shape for making this transition?

The VAT threshold is £90,000; when your annual turnover (measured on a rolling 12-month basis rather than a financial year) for the previous 12 months reaches this level, you are legally required to register your business for VAT.

There is considerably more paperwork and admin involved once your business is VAT-registered, which is why many businesses decide to employ a bookkeeper at that stage. It can be helpful, however, to get ahead of the game and use a bookkeeper ahead of reaching the VAT threshold, to reduce stress when you do register for VAT.

Our books are currently full but if you'd like to join our waiting list contact us via the link in our bio. We have other amazing bookkeepers in our network if you need support sooner. If you'd like a recommendation just let us know.

The summer holidays are going so fast already! Last week we were in the Lakes for another hot one! We had lots of outdoor adventures taking in the beautiful scenery.

Other than that I’ve worked but the girls have enjoyed the nice weather with relatives, visiting parks and the zoo!

How is your summer going? I'd love to hear what you've been up to.

Thank you so much to , who left this lovely comment on my recent post asking for testimonials. I love working with you!

Tomorrow is Morris Accountancy Services 9th business birthday! I can't believe it'll be 10 years next year!

This year has been one of consolidation. The year before I'd taken on some larger clients and so I've been focusing on bedding in the systems and processes needed for those clients, along with continuing my work with my other clients. There has also been the challenge of the launch of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, which will expand even further next year.

This year I will be looking to take on an associate to work with me, so if any of you know of an assistant accountant who would love flexible working around their family life, with hybrid working available, please do send them my way!

Thank you to all of my wonderful clients, to my team member Abby, my social media manager Sam, and all of my accounting and bookkeeping friends. You've all made this year of business as successful as it has been.

This week, on 7th August, is the first submission deadline for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, for those self-employed people earning over £50k.

If you're doing this yourself, are you ready to make your submission? If you've been keeping on top of your record-keeping in your accounting software, the submission itself should be pretty much as simple as pressing a button (depending on your software).

Thankfully, HMRC has confirmed that no penalties will apply for late submissions in the first year while taxpayers are getting used to the new system.

If you still have work to do on getting your accounting software accurate and up-to-date, consider this your reminder to do that before the deadline on Friday.

How are you finding the MTD process so far?

Emily is now on school holidays. I'll still be working during the holidays, but will be taking some time off here and there.

We're planning a trip to the Lakes and another trip to EuroDisney! Paige is so excited to go to Disney again (first pic is from Disney last year and the second one is Paige dressed up when we went to see Toy Story)!

Do you have time off booked over the summer? What do you have planned?

Research conducted by Sage has found that 7 in 10 sole traders don't understand the new Making Tax Digital rules, and only 37% know the first submission deadline is on 7th August.

Are you one of them? Obviously not if you're a client of mine, because I'll be filing for you, but if you're submitting yourself, make sure you've checked the requirements and registered with HMRC. There is a checker on the gov.uk website so you can see whether you need to start MTD this time (it's for those with an income of over £50k).

Once this submission deadline is done, I'm going to be doing some posts where I'll review the process and give tips for those who will be in the next tranche of MTD for income tax next year.

If you've started the process, how are you finding it so far?

Are you ready for the summer holidays or are you frantically trying to get everything done before the kids are off?

Do you have a business that is very quiet in the summer or the opposite?

A lot of accountants will have to work more than they're maybe used to in the summer holidays this year, because we have the first Making Tax Digital submission due on 7th August! If they'd have asked a parent of school-age children, they might have advised them to choose a different date 🤣

If you're filing your first MTD submission in August, just so you know, you can file anytime now, so you could actually get it done before the summer holidays.

I'd love to hear your summer holiday preparations in the comments! Are you super organised and all ready, or stressed all the way up to the finish line?
