Many construction businesses underestimate the importance of timely invoicing and record-keeping.

Keeping track of invoices and expenses as they arise is crucial to staying on top of your cash flow. For example, delays in invoicing can mean cash flow gaps, making it harder to pay suppliers or manage payroll.

This oversight can lead to tax complications and increased stress when deadlines loom.

At Cowley Holmes Accountants, we focus on helping construction firms streamline their accounting processes, ensuring compliance and clarity in every report.

This week at Cowley Holmes Accountants💡

Keeping track of tax deadlines just got a little easier.

HMRC has introduced a free online tool that helps small businesses check their tax filing and payment deadlines in one place. It currently covers:

• Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
• PAYE
• Self Assessment
• VAT

The tool can also integrate with most calendar applications, making it easier to keep important dates on your radar. There’s no need to sign in, and the information you enter isn’t sent to HMRC.

Think the VAT Flat Rate Scheme just means “pay less VAT”? It’s not that simple.

On the scheme you pay HMRC a fixed percentage of your VAT-inclusive turnover and usually cannot reclaim VAT on purchases (apart from some capital assets over £2,000). Get it wrong and you could overpay VAT or face HMRC queries.

Cowley Holmes Accountants can help you:
• Check if your business is eligible
• Choose the right flat rate percentage
• Work out if you’re a limited cost business
• Apply to join or leave the scheme correctly

In the construction sector, many overlook the importance of accurate job costing from the outset.

Properly tracking expenses related to materials, labour, and equipment helps you understand project profitability. For instance, a small oversight in recording subcontractor payments can lead to significant discrepancies in your financial reports.

Neglecting this can result in cash flow issues or tax complications when it’s time to report VAT.

At Cowley Holmes Accountants, we specialise in helping construction businesses establish effective accounting practices, ensuring compliance and clarity in reporting.

This week at Cowley Holmes Accountants💡

In a significant shift, Companies House is revamping its login process, effective December, aiming for enhanced security and user-friendliness. The GOV.UK One Login will now be mandatory for new users, uniting multiple government services under a single email and password, complemented by multi-factor authentication. Existing users can continue with their current logins until further notice, but sharing accounts is no longer viable—each team member must now have their own access.

As for objecting to company dissolutions, the new online ‘Make an objection’ service promises to make the process simpler. How will these changes impact your experience with Companies House? Let us know in the comments! 💼

Think all company expenses reduce your Corporation Tax bill? Not quite.

Some costs are capital (like vans or equipment), others are revenue (day-to-day running costs) – and mixing them up can mean:
• paying too much tax
• underpaying and risking HMRC interest and penalties

Cowley Holmes Accountants can help you:
• identify capital vs revenue expenses
• claim the right capital allowances and reliefs
• maximise legitimate deductions
• keep clear records HMRC will expect

Talk to us today to review your company expenses and Corporation Tax position.
