Is your accountant protecting your business, or setting you up for an HMRC audit? 😬

Bad tax advice doesn't just cause headaches; it leads to heavy penalties and back taxes. Here are 7 red flags that your advisor might be steering you off course:

1️⃣ Guaranteed refunds: If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

2️⃣ Unqualified: Anyone can call themselves an "accountant" in the UK. Always check for Chartered (ICAEW) status.

3️⃣ No paperwork: Estimating expenses instead of using receipts will fail an HMRC check.

4️⃣ "Creative" deductions: Claiming personal costs as business expenses is illegal evasion.

5️⃣ Ghosting you: Missing VAT or Corporation Tax deadlines results in automatic fines.

6️⃣ Tech-averse: Shunning cloud software like Xero means more manual errors.

7️⃣ Complex schemes: Avoid offshore accounts or weird loan structures.

Don't risk your livelihood. At Harrison’s Accountancy, our fully qualified Chartered Accountants offer legal, transparent, and stress-free guidance.

It’s a simple way to:

• Photograph and store receipts digitally
• Reduce paperwork
• Streamline bookkeeping processes

We’re able to offer Apron to clients at very competitive rates, so if you’d like to find out more, please get in touch.

If you have kids under 12 in nursery, clubs, or with a childminder, a tax-free childcare account could save you money. The government adds 25% to your contibutions, for example, for every £8 added to your account, the government will add another £2.

Use the account to pay Ofsted-registered providers.

Let us talk about cash flow. It is entirely possible for a business to be highly profitable on paper but still run out of cash to pay the bills if timing is misaligned.

Here are three simple habits to keep your cash flow healthy:

1️⃣ Invoice immediately: Do not wait until the end of the month to send bills out.
2️⃣ Review your expenses weekly: Catch leaks before they turn into floods.
3️⃣ Keep a cash buffer: Aim for three months of operating costs safely tucked away.

Which of these do you find the hardest to stick to? Let us know below!

☀️ UK BUSINESSES: New Summer Savings Changes Are Here!

Chancellor Rachel Reeves MP has announced the ‘Great British Summer Savings’ package. While aimed at families, it directly impacts business accounting and operations starting this month.

Here is what you need to know:

🚗 Mileage Rate Hike: The tax-free rate for cars and vans has increased from 45p to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles. It is backdated to April 2026, so update your expense claims now!

🎟️ 5% Summer VAT Drop: From 25 June to 1 September 2026, a temporary 5% VAT rate kicks in for children's meals (dine-in), children's entertainment tickets, and eligible family attractions like soft play, museums, and zoos (applies to all admissions).

⚙️ Action Required: Affected businesses must update their point-of-sale systems and VAT software before 25 June to avoid compliance issues.

Need help navigating backdated rates or updating your software? We have got you covered. Get in touch with us today, or tap the link in our bio to read our full June Tax News guide!

🚨 SCAM ALERT FOR UK BUSINESSES 🚨

Have you received a letter from HMRC about a "VAT Repayment Allowance" recently? Don't fall for it!

A highly sophisticated postal scam is targeting business owners right now. The letters look incredibly realistic, use real legislation like the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act to scare you, and threaten to hold your VAT claims if you don't log into www.hmrc.industries.

Remember: HMRC will ONLY ever use a .gov.uk domain.

If a letter lands on your desk and you are unsure, do not risk your Government Gateway credentials. Scan it and send it straight over to the Harrison's Accountancy team, and we will verify it for you.

Are you making these common CIS mistakes? It could cost you your Gross Payment Status.

With HMRC constantly tightening the rules, even a small slip-up can strip away your Gross Payment Status (GPS), wrecking your cash flow and reputation.

The traps to avoid:

Skipping verification: Subcontractor statuses change. Always verify before you pay, or you could be liable for the tax shortfall.

Labour vs. Materials: Deductions only apply to labour. Getting this wrong triggers heavy HMRC penalties.

The VAT Trap: Slipped up on a VAT return recently? HMRC now checks your VAT compliance when reviewing your CIS status.

The fix: Use Xero to automate your subcontractor tracking and keep your monthly returns accurate.

Don't risk your status. Read our full compliance checklist on our blog:https://harrisonsaccountancy.co.uk/are-you-making-these-common-cis-mistakes-how-to-protect-your-gross-payment-status-and-avoid-new-penalties/
