A Little Less in the Pot? Let’s Talk Dividends 📈

For my Limited Company directors out there, you might have spotted that Dividend Tax rates have nudged up by 2% this month. It’s not the news anyone wants, but it is the reality of the 2026/27 tax year.

Small changes like this can add up, so it’s a great time to review how you’re paying yourself. Is your salary/dividend balance still the most tax-efficient way to go?

Tax doesn’t have to be terrifying, and it certainly shouldn't be something you face alone. If you’re wondering how the latest budget affects your take-home pay, let’s have a quick look together.
Friendly, local, and always in your corner.

Keeping Axminster Businesses Moving 🚜

Have you noticed the "April Creep" in your business overheads? Between the recent Council Tax adjustments here in Devon and the ongoing energy costs, it feels like every bill is nudging upwards this month.

When the local economy feels a bit "squeezed," your best defense is a clear view of your cash flow. Sometimes, just sitting down and looking at where the pennies are going can reveal ways to save that you hadn't considered.

At Direct Tax Limited, I specialise in helping one-person bands and small shops stay resilient. You don’t need a massive corporate strategy sometimes you just need a second pair of eyes on the books.

Supporting local is what we do best. If you need a hand tightening the ship for 2026, I’m right here in town!

Coffee, Cake, and... Digital Tax? ☕️

If you’ve been following the news this April, you’ll know the "Big Shift" is finally here. For many of our local self-employed stars and landlords in Axminster, the way you report to HMRC has officially changed.
I know, "Making Tax Digital" sounds like a chore you’d rather push to the bottom of the pile. But honestly? It’s just about getting a better handle on your numbers throughout the year rather than the January 31st panic we all know (and don’t love!).
If the software side of things feels a bit daunting, don’t worry. I’m here to help you get set up so you can get back to running your business. No jargon, just straightforward help.
Drop me a message if you want to chat over how these new rules affect you.
