Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is nearly here!

From April 2026, HMRC will begin rolling out Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD IT).

If you are self-employed or a landlord with income over the entry threshold, the way you keep records and report your income to HMRC will be changing.

Under MTD IT, you will need to:
✔ Keep digital records of your income and expenses
✔ Use MTD-compatible software
✔ Send quarterly updates to HMRC and a final return at the end of the tax year.

The rollout starts in April 2026, with more taxpayers joining in later phases. Our graphic below shows the key dates and income thresholds so you can see when it may apply to you.

Although it might seem like a big change, moving to digital record-keeping can actually make managing your finances simpler and more up-to-date.

If you think MTD IT may affect you and you’d like help getting ready before April 2026, feel free to get in touch.

Dividend tax rates are increasing from April 2026 👇

🔹 Basic rate: 8.75% ➡ 10.75%
🔹 Higher rate: 33.75% ➡ 35.75%
🔹 Additional rate: 39.35% ➡ 39.5%

With the dividend allowance now only £500, this could mean a higher personal tax bill for many business owners.

It’s worth reviewing your salary/dividend strategy before the new tax year.

Year-end isn’t just about filing accounts, it’s about making smart decisions for your business.

Your numbers are more than just figures, they’re a guide to help you make the most of your tax position and cash flow. A few simple checks before year-end can make a real difference.

Remember, some valuable allowances will be lost on 5 April if they’re not used in time. Now is the perfect moment to review your position.

If you’re not completely confident that everything is structured correctly, let’s take a look together before the deadline passes.

Send me a message, and we’ll review where you stand.

Profit and cash are not the same thing.

You can be profitable and still struggle with cash.
You can also have cash in the bank but be heading for a problem.

Here’s why:
– profit includes invoices you haven’t been paid yet
– cash includes money that isn’t really yours (like VAT or future tax)
– timing makes a bigger difference than people realise

This is exactly why monthly bookkeeping matters.
It helps you understand what’s actually available and what isn’t.

Clarity here prevents stress later.

Our diary is open again.

We’re inviting owner-managed limited companies to work with us who want their finances handled properly throughout the year, not just at year end.

Many of the business owners we speak to are doing well, but still feel unsure about:
– their monthly numbers
– how tax-efficient their setup really is
– whether their bookkeeping is actually helping them make informed decisions

Over the next few months, we’re opening up space for a small number of new limited company clients who are looking for monthly bookkeeping and full annual compliance, with regular support and no surprises.

We don’t just enter numbers, we explain the why, so you fully understand what’s happening in your business.

This isn’t about last-minute fixes. It’s about building a solid, well-run business with the right financial foundations.

If you run a limited company (or know someone who does) and this sounds relevant, feel free to message us for a chat.

✅️ Each treat must cost £50 or less (including VAT)
🚫 It can't be cash/cash equivalent or a reward for work performed
