Across the UK, people often come together for a common purpose, typically to support vulnerable people or their community in some way. If this group becomes more formal, then there’s often a question as to whether the unity should become a charity or a Community Interest Company (CIC).

A CIC operates in the same way as any other company, with many of the characteristics of a limited company, such as a separate legal identity; the ability to enter into contracts and own assets in its own name; and flexibility in borrowing and fund raising.

Here at Lewis & Co, we have supported a number of CICs as clients over the years, including food hubs, community shops and cafes, and community exercise groups. Although they are basically treated in a similar way to limited companies, as regards to tax, our support also includes tax planning and management to make sure they aren’t paying more tax than they need to.

If you’re new to Making Tax Digital (MTD), this is a reminder that you will need to send a quarterly update for each source of income you have, including self-employment and property income. The first deadline (covering Q1 – 1 April to 30 June) is 7 August.

You send your quarterly update to HMRC directly through your chosen MTD software. Then, after sending your update, you’ll be able to see an estimate of your tax bill for your self-employment and property income in your software or in your HMRC online services account.

As this is a new system for many people, please do get in touch with us at Lewis & Co if you’ve got any questions: 01892 513515. Alternatively, you might find our FAQs on MTD useful:

Progressing in the FIFA World Cup is all about preparation, strategy and making the right decisions at the right time… and it’s the same in business. It’s not just about the players on the pitch; having the right professionals supporting the squad is just as important. In the same way, whether you're a sole trader, start-up or established company, a good accountant in your team can make all the difference.

Every successful team starts with a dependable goalkeeper and Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson and James Trafford are all trusted to provide stability. Here at Lewis & Co, we play a similar role by ensuring your finances remain accurate and compliant, giving you the confidence to move forward.

Strong defences prevent problems before they happen and Reece James, Ezri Konsa, Nico O'Reilly, John Stones, Marc Guéhi, Trevoh Chalobah, Dan Burn, Djed Spence and Jarell Quansah understand that organisation and communication are essential. In business, having Lewis & Co onside (not offside, of course) can help you avoid unexpected surprises.

In the midfield, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Elliot Anderson, Morgan Rogers, Jordan Henderson and Kobbie Mainoo all keep the team moving in the right direction. Likewise, payroll management, cash flow forecasting and business planning help owners stay in control of their finances and make informed decisions.

Goals win football matches and sales drive businesses forward. England's attacking talent – Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Gordon, Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins – all bring different qualities. A good accountant also provides a variety of skills - from navigating Making Tax Digital to improving cash flow.

Running a business can sometimes feel as stressful as a World Cup knockout match and you might run ‘out of puff’, but having Lewis & Co in your team allows you to focus on supporting customers and growing your business, rather than worrying about compliance and paperwork. Come on England!
