๐Ÿ“ขAfter significant delays, the Government has announced long-awaited changes to Companies House accounts filing.

Effective from April 2028, the new rules
are intended to improve the quality of information held on the Companies House register. While there's time to prepare, company directors should start understanding what these changes mean for their business now.

Alex Minter, Accounts Assistant summarises the key changes in his article below ๐Ÿ‘‡

A huge change to the inheritance tax treatment of unused pension funds at death is coming on 6 April 2027, effectively making values of pension funds on death subject to inheritance tax where the vast majority havenโ€™t been, and arenโ€™t currently.

This represents a huge change to many peopleโ€™s current exposure to inheritance tax โ€“ adding more value to their chargeable estate.

Our latest article explains what's changing, who could be affected, and the steps that may be worth considering ahead of the new rules.

Will your business be affected by the temporary summer VAT reduction?

From 25 June to 1 September 2026, VAT on certain children's meals, admission tickets and family attractions will be reduced from 20% to 5%.

For Cornwall businesses gearing up for the peak tourism season, understanding exactly which supplies qualify is essential. While the measure may appear straightforward, applying the reduced rate incorrectly could lead to compliance headaches further down the line.

Our latest article explains what businesses need to know, which supplies may qualify, and the practical steps to consider before the changes take effect.
