Do you pay your Self Assessment tax through Payments on Account?

If so, here's a reminder that your second Payment on Account is due by 31st July.

These payments are based on your previous year's tax bill, so they don't always reflect your current circumstances. If your income or profits are expected to be lower this year, you may be able to reduce the amount you need to pay.

It's also worth remembering that HMRC currently charges late payment interest at 7.75%, so it's important not to leave it until after the deadline.

Not everyone who completes a Self Assessment tax return makes Payments on Account, so if you're unsure whether this applies to you - contact us today.

Busy does not always mean healthy.📊

A full diary, loyal customers and money moving through the till can all look positive. But do you know what the business is actually generating from its day-to-day trading?

EBITDA is one useful way of looking at operating performance. It strips out interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, helping you see the underlying trading picture more clearly.🔍

It will not tell you everything, but it can help you ask better questions of the numbers and spot where a closer look may be needed.

Because the numbers are only useful when you know what they are telling you.
