The 30-Day Rule for Capital Gains Tax 📊

If you sell shares or investments and buy the same (or very similar) ones again within 30 days, HMRC can “re-match” the transactions.

That means your Capital Gains Tax calculation may change, and your tax bill could be higher (or lower) than expected.

📌 It mainly applies to shares and securities, and often catches investors out.

If you’re trading investments regularly, it’s worth checking the timing before you buy back in. Get in touch with the team to find out more: https://vantage-accounting.co.uk/

Dividends vs salary (made simple) 💷

If you’re a company director, how you pay yourself really matters.

Salary goes through PAYE and is taxed like normal income, while dividends are usually taxed at lower rates, but only if your company has profits.

The right mix can help you be more tax-efficient, but getting it wrong can cost more than expected.

It’s worth reviewing your pay structure regularly, especially as your profits change. Get in touch for more Vantage top tax tips: https://vantage-accounting.co.uk/

The best business advice often comes from people who’ve been there.

At Vantage Accounting, we’re business owners as well as accountants, so we understand the realities of running a business, from managing cash flow and meeting deadlines to staying compliant and planning for growth.

That’s why we do more than prepare accounts. We provide straightforward advice, transparent pricing, and practical support that helps businesses make confident decisions.

Client Entertainment Rules 🍽️

Taking clients out for meals or entertainment is common, but for tax purposes, most of it isn’t deductible.

📌 HMRC generally does not allow tax relief for client entertaining, even if it’s for business development.

However, staff entertainment (like annual parties) can sometimes qualify under specific rules.

⚠️ It’s an easy area to get wrong, especially when mixing business and networking. Get in touch with our team for more tax saving tips: https://vantage-accounting.co.uk/
