The new tax year started yesterday. 📅 Most people won't do these 3 things. It'll cost them.

1. Use your new ISA allowance. £20,000 reset on Monday. You can't carry it over. Savings sitting in a regular account = free money to HMRC. 💸

2. Check your tax code. HMRC gets it wrong more often than people realise. 5 minutes on gov.uk could save you a year of paying the wrong tax. 👀

3. Directors and employers — review how you're paying yourself and your team. Salary, dividends, Employment Allowance — there are changes worth knowing about. Start of the tax year is when you plan it, not the end. Speak to your accountant before you draw anything significant.

Save this post. You'll thank yourself next March. 💰

💙 Community really does make a difference

We’re proud to share that we, together with our local community, has raised £1,600 for Ashgate Hospice through our free wills initiative.

A massive thank you to Laura, who put so much time and care into making this happen – we couldn’t have done it without you ⭐

Thanks to the support of people in our community, Ashgate Hospice now has enough funding to keep two beds open for at least 12 months — an incredible achievement that will help local families when they need it most.

This is what community support looks like 💙

👀 Watch this space… another one is coming soon!

A massive thank you to The Halewood Group for supporting Ashgate through their Will Month in December, raising a brilliant £1,600! ✨

Throughout the month, Halewood kindly offered professionally written Wills at no cost, inviting clients to make a voluntary donation to Ashgate Hospice instead of paying their usual fees.

We’re incredibly grateful to Halewood and everyone who took part for their generosity and support. 💜

The support from our incredible community means the world to us. If you're looking to take up your own fundraising challenge and need ideas, visit our website: www.ashgatehospice.org.uk/fundraising

💻📊 Making Tax Digital (MTD) – It’s Happening!

HMRC is going digital – and if you run a business or are self-employed, this affects you!

Here’s what you need to know (no boring tax talk, promise):

✅ If you’re VAT-registered or earn over £50k, you now need to:

Keep digital records

Use MTD-approved software (e.g Xero/Dext)

Send your tax info to HMRC every 3 months (not just once a year!)

🧾 No more paper piles or last-minute panic.
MTD helps you stay organised and avoid surprises at tax time.

Need help setting up or not sure if this applies to you?
📩 Send us a message – we’ll make it simple.

🐾 We’ve got a very special visitor today… meet Nellie! 🐶💛

Nellie popped in to carry out a “paw-fessional” inspection of the office. Results: 10/10, would visit again.

She’s not fully qualified… but she is great at boosting morale! 😄

Her expert opinion? Everything runs smoother with a belly rub and a biscuit.

📸Directors – HMRC Wants to Check You’re Real! 🪪

If you're a company director, you’ll soon need to do a quick ID check with HMRC.
It’s a one-time thing – just to prove you’re a real person.

🔍 What you need:
✅ Photo ID (like a passport or driving licence)
✅ A phone or computer with a camera
✅ 5 minutes of your time

Why? HMRC is cracking down on fake companies and wants to keep things secure.
No ID = you won’t be allowed to act as a director. Simple as that.

🚧✨ Something exciting is happening at our Chesterfield office...

🎉 A brand new meeting room is on the way! 🎉

✅ Fresh, modern space for client meetings
✅ Super comfy seating
✅ Stylish vibes to make tax chats a bit more bearable 😎
✅ Possibly the best brew station in town ☕

We’re getting everything ready to give our clients the best possible experience – because your time with us should be productive and pleasant!

🐾 National Dog Day — Missing Our Office Legend, Ralphie!

Ralphie hardly ever comes into the office, and honestly, we want him here all the time — not just on National Dog Day. Because who else is going to remind us to take snack breaks and bring those good vibes?

Work just isn’t the same without our furry morale booster around. Ralphie, consider this your official invite to crash the office more often!

Anyone else wish their office had a permanent four-legged CEO?
👇 See Ralphie in the office below — proof that good vibes come on four paws!

👪 Have You Had The Talk With Your Parents Yet?

We’re talking about Power of Attorney — yep, that little bit of legal magic that gives someone the power to step in and help when it really matters.

✅ Can they manage finances if something happens?
✅ Make health or care decisions if needed?
✅ Is it all sorted — or still on the to-do list?

Having the convo might feel weird at first… but trust us, it’s one of the most important chats you’ll ever have. 💬💛

🗣 “Hey Mum, have you got Power of Attorney sorted?”
🗣 “Dad, would you want me or someone else to make decisions if you couldn’t?”

It’s not scary. It’s smart. And it shows you care.

So go on — bring it up at dinner, on a walk, over a cuppa. Get the convo started. Future you (and them) will be so glad you did.

At Halewood, we can do all this for you — making it easy, quick, and stress-free.

Who Speaks for You If You Can’t?

Health & Welfare Power of Attorney isn’t just for later in life — it’s for anyone who wants peace of mind.

🧠 If you couldn’t make decisions about your care, treatment, or even daily life… who would you trust to step in?

With Power of Attorney, you choose.
✅ Someone you trust
✅ Who knows what matters to you
✅ Who can speak up when it counts

It’s easy to set up — and feels amazing to have sorted. 🙌
