Chat GPT has definitely done me a favour here - the pile of papers is accurate but the fresh, well slept face is not 🤣

📣 Why It's Important to Work with an Accountant on a Monthly Basis 📣

Aside from having visibility to how your business is performing every month, here are other benefits to working with an accountant on a monthly basis:

• Immediate Implementation of Legislative Changes
Tax changes and other legislative updates can be applied promptly when you’re in regular contact with your accountant, ensuring your business stays compliant and up-to-date.

• Optimising Directors' Pensions
Contributing to a director’s pension within a Limited Company can help reduce your tax bill, but it must be done within the financial year and cannot be adjusted retrospectively.

• Maximising Capital Allowances
Capital expenditure can be offset against tax through capital allowances, but this needs to be done in the financial year. You may find that once the year end has passed that you have unused allowances that cannot be carried forward.

• Improved Cash Flow Management
Reviewing your finances on a monthly basis enables better cash flow management, allowing you to make adjustments before the year-end rush.

• Accurate Tax Planning
By working regularly with an accountant, you’ll know exactly how much to save for tax, helping you avoid any surprises when tax payments are due.

• Proactive Corporation Tax Payments
Stay on top of your corporation tax by making timely, planned payments throughout the year, ensuring your business avoids penalties or cash flow issues.

Finally, when you work with us, you'll have direct access via WhatsApp and receive year-round advice.

📌 Reminder - Self Assessment POA 📌

Tomorrow is 31st July, which for self-assessment tax is the due date for your second payment on account.

If your previous self-assessment tax bill was over £1,000 you will have been required to make your first payment on account by 31st January.

These payments go towards your tax liability for the current year. If your actual liability for the current year is higher than what you paid on account, you will pay the difference. If it’s lower, you can either have the extra paid back or deducted from future payments.

If you still haven’t prepared and submitted your 24/25 tax return, drop us a message as we can help you out!
