🚨 Capital Gains Tax rising to 40%?

With the Autumn Budget approaching on 28 October, there's been plenty of speculation about Capital Gains Tax increasing from 24% to as much as 40%.

An increase of that size would have a significant impact on landlords, investors and business owners looking to sell their assets or retire.

What do you think? Is 40% too much?

Can you claim software subscriptions on your tax return? If you’re self employed, yes, as long as they’re used for your business. That includes things like Canva, ChatGPT, Zoom and CapCut.

Not sure what you can claim? Send me a message.

A sole trader came to me expecting a tax bill. I went through their records and found they had overpaid, so they’re now due a refund from HMRC.

An accurate Self Assessment return works both ways. It keeps you clear of HMRC problems and makes sure you’re not paying more than you need to.

Get in touch if you’d like me to look over yours.

Swapped the spreadsheets for a golf simulator and a shooting game last Thursday. The LEVEL1 Networking event at St Mary's was a really good way to meet local business owners in a relaxed setting. I handed out a few cards along the way, so if we met and you need help with your accounts, get in touch. Southampton FC

Last Tuesday I went along to the AAT West Surrey and North Hampshire branch event on AI in accountancy. Good talk, and a useful reminder that AI can sound very confident and still get things wrong. Worth remembering as more of us use it. I go to events like this to stay up to date, so my clients get advice that reflects how things work now. Always good to spend an evening with other local accountants too.

Taking a client to the football? ⚽

It feels like an obvious business expense, but entertainment is one of those areas where the tax rules can catch people out. Just because your company pays for it doesn't mean you'll automatically get tax relief.

Worth knowing before you book the next Saints game through the business.

I try to stay close to what's happening in your business, not just show up once a year for the tax return.

That means I can flag ways to save tax before you make big purchases or decisions, while there's still time to act.

Get in touch if you'd like this kind of support.

Don’t let your tax return go to penalties. ⚽

Getting everything sorted early gives you time to check the figures, plan for the tax bill and avoid unnecessary stress.

Just because football’s coming home, doesn’t mean your tax refund is. 🏴

Missing expenses, CIS deductions and payments on account can all affect whether you are due a refund or have tax to pay, and if your bookkeeping is all over the place, you’re basically playing with no defence.

Can you claim work clothes on your tax return? 👕

This is one people often get wrong. 🤔

Just because you bought something for work, it does not automatically mean it can go through your business.

HMRC are strict with clothing, so it is worth knowing the rules before you claim it.

Some work clothing can be claimed, but everyday clothing is where people usually get caught out.
