When you ask a tax question, you usually want a clear answer.

That’s completely understandable.

But good tax advice rarely starts with the answer — it starts with the questions.

At Llewellyns, we take the time to understand the full picture before recommending anything. Your income, goals, family position, business structure, timing and future plans can all affect the advice.

A technically correct answer is not always the right answer for your circumstances.

In our latest blog, we explain why we ask so many questions before giving tax advice, and why that approach can help avoid rushed decisions, missed opportunities and costly mistakes.

Now that the tax year has wrapped up, it’s a good time to take a step back and reflect a little 👀

Not on anything major, but on the small things that tend to cause the most stress later on.

We’ve put together a short blog on the biggest mistakes we saw over the 2025/26 tax year, including:
• Leaving things too late ⏰
• Not knowing where things stand 📊
• Not setting money aside for tax 💷
• CIS confusion 👷‍♂️

None of these are unusual, we see them every year, but they’re also very easy to avoid with a few simple habits 👍

If you want this year to feel a bit more in control (and a lot less stressful come January 😅), it’s well worth a quick read 👇

How much should you actually be setting aside for tax? 🤔💷

It’s one of the most common questions we get and one that can make a huge difference come January.

The tricky part is that tax doesn’t just appear all at once… it builds up gradually throughout the year. If nothing’s being set aside, it’s very easy to get caught out later on 😅

In our latest blog, we’ve broken it down simply:
• Rough percentages to set aside 💡
• Differences between sole traders, limited companies & CIS 👷‍♂️
• Why people often fall behind (without realising)
• And how to stay ahead without overcomplicating things 👍

The new tax year has officially started 📅

For most people, it doesn’t feel urgent, there are no immediate deadlines and January feels a long way off.

But in reality, this is one of the best times of year to get things set up properly. A few simple habits now can make a big difference later on, especially when it comes to staying organised and avoiding unnecessary stress.

We’ve put together a short blog covering what actually matters at the start of the new tax year, including:
• Keeping records simple and up to date
• Setting money aside for tax early
• Avoiding the common mistakes we see every January
• Key points for subcontractors under CIS

If you want to stay ahead this year, it’s well worth a quick read 👍

Subcontractors, you could be owed a tax refund from April 💷

If you’re working under CIS and having tax deducted each month, there’s a good chance you’ve overpaid tax this year.

We see it every year, subcontractors getting:

£1,000+ back
£2,000+ back
£3,000+ back
sometimes even more

But the biggest mistake?

👉 Waiting months to sort it.

From 6th April, your tax return can be submitted straight away, which means your refund can be processed early too.

The earlier it’s done:
➡️ The earlier you get your money back

If you’re unsure what you can claim or whether you’re due a refund, feel free to drop us a message 👍 always happy to help or point you in the right direction.
