Amazing!

Make a Difference Monday: Thank you to all the amazing people who came to our fundraising quiz on Saturday evening and to the even more amazing volunteers that made it happen. We really appreciate you coming out to support us and have some social connection in the meantime with one person saying to us 'these events are the only time I get to go out and socialise'.

We will share pictures with you once we have processed them all but we can tell you that over £760 was raised in the evening. A massive thank you to the amazing team that made it happen and to everyone who came out for quiz joy. An extra thank you to Sketty Scouts for lending us their hall!

Thanks to

Rules have changed.

A recent tribunal case saw a w**e distributor's R&D tax claim rejected by HMRC after the business was unable to provide sufficient evidence that its project met the requirements for R&D tax relief. The result? The company lost its claim and faced a significant repayment.

With HMRC continuing to scrutinise R&D claims, it's more important than ever to ensure that:
✅ Your project genuinely qualifies for R&D tax relief
✅ You can demonstrate a scientific or technological advance
✅ Detailed records and supporting evidence are available
✅ Any claim submitted is accurate, robust and fully supported

Many businesses are approached by third-party firms promising substantial R&D refunds. Before proceeding, make sure you speak to your AIMS Accountant.

We're here to help you understand whether a claim is appropriate, identify any potential risks, and ensure you're making informed decisions based on the latest HMRC guidance and tribunal outcomes.

A quick conversation today could save a costly headache tomorrow.

Time for admin?

Running a business can make it difficult to switch off.

Bookkeeping after dinner, payroll at the weekend, tax paperwork when you should be doing something else... financial admin can quickly spill into your personal time.

As National Work Life Week continues, it could be a good opportunity to think about what you really need to handle yourself.

An accountant can support you with areas such as:

📚 Bookkeeping
👥 Payroll
📅 Tax deadlines
💷 Cash-flow planning
📊 Understanding your business figures

Freeing up some of that time means you can focus on running your business, or simply spend a little less of your evening thinking about it.
