📢 Reminder for Employers 📢

The deadline for providing P60s to employees is approaching. Employers must ensure all staff receive their P60 by 31 May following the end of the tax year.

A P60 summarises an employee’s total pay and deductions for the tax year and is an important document for tax records, mortgage applications, and benefit claims.

If you haven’t already prepared yours, now is the time to get organised and make sure they’re issued on time ✅

Quick heads-up for anyone who pays tax via Payments on Account 👇

If your income has dropped this year, you could be overpaying in July - but only if you leave your tax return until the last minute.

Getting your tax return done early means you can apply to reduce your July payment on account based on your actual figures, not last year’s higher income. That can make a big difference to your cash flow 💸

Wait too long, and you risk paying more than you need to upfront.

As we wrap up another tax year, it’s time to make sure everything is in order for payroll 📊

A quick reminder to review employee records, confirm all pay and deductions are accurate, and ensure your submissions are up to date. Staying on top of these details now can save a lot of time (and stress!) later.

If you haven’t already, don’t forget to issue final payslips, prepare P60s, and check compliance with current regulations.

Here’s to a smooth year-end and an even better start to the next one! 💼✨

📢 New 40% First Year Allowance Now in Force!
From 1 January 2026, UK businesses can benefit from a new 40% First Year Allowance (FYA) on qualifying plant and machinery expenditure. This change was introduced in the Autumn 2025 Budget and is now live.
✨ What this means for your business:
• You may be able to deduct 40% of the cost of qualifying assets in the year you buy them for tax purposes.
• It applies even if assets are acquired for leasing — something that wasn’t fully covered under previous reliefs.
• Unincorporated businesses (sole traders, partnerships) can also use this allowance — not just limited companies.
This relief sits alongside other capital-allowance incentives like full expensing and the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), so it’s worth planning how best to use the new rules to your advantage.
💡 Quick tip: Ensure assets are purchased and put to use from 1 January 2026 to qualify — and check which assets are eligible (certain second-hand assets and cars are excluded).
Want help reviewing your planned capital expenditure to make sure you’re maximising available relief? 📩 Send us a message — we can help.
