🚨 Friday News Flash...

This isn't the post I ever imagined I'd be writing so soon into my journey.

After months of teasing that something big was coming, it's finally time to reveal that...

💛 Baytree Bookkeepers is becoming Baywood Accounting Ltd.

Around two and a half years ago, we started as a solitary desk under the stairs, on a street called Baytree.

It was just me, a laptop, and a long-standing dream of building an accountancy practice.

Since then, we've grown into an incredible team, supported amazing businesses across the UK, found our niche in the construction industry, launched our own networking events, and are still laying the foundations for future achievements.

But we've reached the point where our name no longer reflects who we are.

We're no longer solely bookkeepers.

Today, we support businesses with bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, CIS, limited company year-end accounts, Self Assessments, and so much more.

So, that explains the Accounting part, but why the name change to BayWOOD?

Baytree has been an amazing chapter, but we've grown so much over the last couple of years that it felt right for our name to grow with us too.

And, for an accounting practice that specialises in the construction industry, Baywood just sounds a bit more fitting than Baytree.

My carpenter clients are nodding right now. 😉🪵

This change will take place from 1st August 2026.

To every client, supporter, referrer, networking contact, friend, and family member who has backed Baytree from that little desk under the stairs to where we are today...

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. We wouldn't be here today without you.

This may be the end of one chapter.

But it's also the start of a whole new story.

Welcome to Baywood Accounting Ltd. 💛

15/07/2026

🎶 Bye Bye Baytree... Baytree Goodbye... 🎶

By Christmas 2026, Baytree Bookkeepers will be no more.

This is not a joke.

If you've been following along, you'll know I've been teasing a big next chapter for a little while now...

Well, it's almost here.

More later this week... 👀

If your “business miles” start at your front door, HMRC may call shotgun... 🚐

Let’s talk business vehicles, builders, and the mileage mistake that can quietly cause a headache.

If you’re travelling from home to your normal place of business — whether that’s your office, yard, unit, regular site base, or usual place of work — HMRC will usually see that as personal mileage, not business mileage.

And yes, that can still apply even if you’re in a business vehicle.

For construction businesses, trades, contractors, builders, plumbers, electricians, roofers, carpenters and subcontractors, this is one of those sneaky areas that often gets missed.

If you or your employees use a company car or van for any form of personal mileage, you may need to declare this correctly through a P11D.

Getting it wrong could mean HMRC inspections, penalties, fines, and unexpected tax bills — and nobody wants that turning up on site.

So, if you’re not 100% sure whether your mileage is business or personal, it’s worth checking before HMRC checks for you.

As promised in the video, you can book a call with me here:

👋 For the many new faces we're meeting lately... meet Laura!

Wife, Mummy, CIS bookkeeper, and the reason there's never any white chocolate left in the cupboards! 🍫😉

I founded Baytree Bookkeepers to help busy construction businesses stay on top of their finances, from bookkeeping and CIS returns to payroll and VAT.

It's been fantastic connecting with so many builders, carpenters, electricians, plasterers, plumbers, roofers, and other tradespeople recently. I love helping hardworking business owners spend less time worrying about paperwork and more time growing their businesses.

If you're in the construction industry and looking for reliable bookkeeping support, I'd love to connect.

Subcontractors: it’s HMRC, not ATM! That ‘free money’ at the end of the tax year isn’t free. Strangely, I’ve heard many clients say it is… 🤷‍♀️

Let’s clear something up that comes up far too often in construction accounting and CIS subcontractor tax conversations.

A tax rebate is not free money.

It’s simply the return of tax you’ve already overpaid.

💡 What a tax rebate actually is:

A tax rebate (or tax refund) happens when:

* You’ve been deducted too much tax by the contractor throughout the year
* Your actual tax bill turns out to be lower
* HMRC returns the difference

🏗️ Why this misunderstanding is so common in construction

In the construction industry — especially with subcontractors under CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) — tax is often deducted at source and can feel detached from day-to-day earnings.

So when a rebate arrives, it feels like:

“Extra money I didn’t expect.”

But in reality, it is just:

Your own money, coming back after being held by HMRC.

⚠️ Why calling it “free money” is a problem

When subcontractors treat tax rebates as income, it can lead to:

* Poor cashflow planning
* Misjudged profitability
* Overspending based on temporary refunds
* Lack of tax awareness going forward

Especially in construction accounting, where margins and cashflow timing already fluctuate heavily, this mindset can create real financial strain.

📊 The simple truth

HMRC is not an ATM. @
