Buying a vehicle for your business? Get advice before you spend your money.

Before buying a vehicle, a sole trader asked me to explain the tax options. I went through the different routes, so they could choose the most tax-efficient option before committing. The best route can depend on whether you buy, finance, lease, or claim mileage, so getting advice first helps you choose the right route based on your business and your goals.

Thinking about getting help with your tax or accounts?

Getting started with me is simple. First, we arrange a meeting so I can learn more about you, your business and what you need help with. After that, I’ll send you a clear follow-up email setting out my services, the fee and the next steps, so you can read through everything properly and decide if you’d like to go ahead. If you need help with your tax, accounts or bookkeeping, send me a message and I’d be happy to arrange a meeting.

Recently at the Harbour Hotel, I was asked by FreeAgent to introduce myself and talk about how I’ve grown Alfred Tripp Accountancy over the last year.

Public speaking is definitely outside my comfort zone, but I’m glad I said yes. I only left employment in April 2025, so it was a good chance to reflect on how much my practice has grown and acknowledge the hard work that has gone into building it.

The last year has been a lot of work, a lot of learning, and plenty of moments where I’ve had to push myself.

As you can probably tell from my face in the pictures, I was very nervous 🫣

Good communication with your accountant takes the stress out of tax.

I keep clients updated, explain things clearly, and make sure they are not waiting weeks for a reply or relying on Google to understand their tax.

I’m always happy to chat on WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook.

Get in touch today if you’d like this support.

After receiving a letter from HMRC about Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, this client got in touch with me.

After a meeting at my office, he left with an MTD solution in place that works for him. No stress, clear next steps, and more time to focus on his business.

Travel expenses can usually be claimed, but only when the journey is genuinely for business.

For example, travelling to meet a client or staying overnight for a work trip would normally count. Going away somewhere personal and doing a bit of work while you are there would not.

HMRC can allow costs like travel, hotel, parking and meals for overnight business trips, but the trip must be for genuine business purposes.

If you need help understanding what you can and can’t claim, send me a message.

Last Wednesday I attended the @ Partner Roadshow at Southampton Harbour Hotel. 🙌

It was a really useful event covering MTD, essential steps for practice success, a live workflow demo of the software, and some useful discussion around the challenges landlords face and how to keep them compliant.

It was also great to meet new people, enjoy a great venue, and come away with some useful ideas. 💡

Thank you to FreeAgent for putting together a great event.

One of the most common questions I get from sole traders: do I need a separate business bank account?

Keeping things separate makes bookkeeping much easier and saves a lot of hassle when it is time to prepare your tax return.

Need help getting your records organised properly? Send me a message.
