Buying property with land? The tax treatment may surprise you 👇

A recent tribunal case ruled that a house with a stream and island was still classed as residential, not mixed-use – meaning higher SDLT applied.

Mixed-use rules are complex and heavily scrutinised, so getting advice early is key.

Planning a major investment? This is important…

A recent Supreme Court case confirmed that pre-construction and feasibility costs often don’t qualify for capital allowances.

That means early project spending may not get tax relief unless it’s directly tied to the asset itself. Planning ahead can avoid unexpected tax surprises.

VAT rules can be surprisingly complicated 😅

A recent tribunal ruled that “mega marshmallows” are NOT confectionery – meaning they can be zero-rated for VAT.

It shows how small product differences can have big VAT implications. If you’re unsure about the VAT rate you should be charging, it’s worth getting advice.

If your company lends money to shareholders, take note…

The Section 455 tax charge on unpaid director/shareholder loans has increased to 35.75% from April 2026.

Repaying the loan within 9 months of year-end can still allow relief – but timing is crucial. Missing the window could mean a hefty tax bill.

Q: Will I still need to file an annual Self-Assessment?
A: Yes! Even with , you will still need to file your annual Self Assessment tax return as usual.

MTD doesn’t replace the year-end filing process. Instead, it changes how you report your income and expenses throughout the year by requiring quarterly updates. These updates help you stay on top of your finances and mean much of the information will be pre-filled when it’s time to complete your annual return.

This can significantly reduce the stress and last-minute rush often associated with Self Assessment deadlines - because your figures will already be up to date and reviewed regularly.

If you’re worried about how this will affect your tax return or need help navigating the new quarterly reporting requirements, you’re not alone. Our team at Viewpoint Accountants is here to make the transition as smooth and straightforward as possible.
