Are you MTD-ready? Making Tax Digital

Do you know what it is?

It is about keeping your bookkeeping in a digital format in an accountancy programme that is MTD compliant. HMRC will be asking for quarterly mini-submissions bringing the tax system closer to real-time information.

At the moment it is due to come into play in April 2026 and it will be relevant for businesses with INCOME/TURNOVER of above £50k a year.

And April 2027 for businesses with INCOME of £30k and above.

It will change again before it comes so you know it is coming. Be proactive about it, get ready on your terms and way ahead of the dates.

Can you please check where you're at with your business income? Sales? Turnover?

‌

VAT threshold of £90K is based on sales over 12 months - were you aware? Check your totals and register if you need to. Nobody wants to pay penalties.

Collecting you business date is not just to file your VAT in time. you can use for so much more.

Analyze it for growth, to cut your losses, and focus on the products are doing well … how do you make decisions like this without seeing the bigger picture?

Don’t rely on others to tell you where your business is going or should be going. Get familiar with your number so you can make those decisions based on facts.

Here is a few reasons to do it now:

It is all fresh in your memory
You’d do it way before the summer rush
And way way before the xmas break, you’d be done and dusted
Use the 8 months to save the money to cover your tax bill
Doing before July deadline for 2nd payment on the account, you are in change to be able to reduce it
And you’ll make your accountant very very happy

Quickbooks is our preferred accountancy programme. It is, I feel a happy medium between what you need as the user and me, the accountant to do what we need to do from a user-friendly perspective.

‌

It is however your choice, the client, of how you find the structure of the programe and its interface and if you find it user-friendly. And that is what you should go for. Every programme offers a demo or a 7-14 day trial. Before you make a decision, I would strongly recommend using those trials to see what suits you and your business best. Happy to give a little nose around QB if you like - book a call :)

Are you a director?

Did you know you can pay yourself an extra £500 in dividends tax free? Did you also know you could pay yourself £9100 tax and NI free a year?

If not, it may just be time for the two of us to have a chat :)

As you would block a spa day or MOT for your car, you must block book this!!

Run your profit and loss account and run it per month and quarter.

compare the figures with the previous month/quarter/year and see what changed. Go deep into why it changed and find a pattern.

Repeat what worked and ditch what didn’t
