Understanding your tax code

The tax code is fundamental to the operation of PAYE. It is made up of letters and numbers which take account of the allowances that you receive and also any deductions from those allowances, for example, to collect underpaid tax. If you have received a tax code for the 2026/27 tax year, it is important that you understand what it means and check that it is correct.

Financial Red Flags Before Scaling
Before hiring more staff or moving premises, look for these warning signs:
• Inconsistent margins
• No cash flow forecast
• High customer concentration

• No financial KPIs reviewed monthly

Scaling amplifies weaknesses.

If revenue doubled tomorrow, what would break first in your business?

Team Top Tip from Our Business Support Executive, Grace.

“Stay on top of your paperwork little and often.”

It sounds simple, but setting aside just 10–15 minutes each week to organise receipts, invoices, and key documents can save hours of stress later on, especially at month-end or during tax season.

Keeping everything up to date not only helps your accountant work more efficiently, but also gives you a clearer picture of your business finances all year round.

Small habits can make a big impact.

𝗧𝗮𝘅𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲/𝟮𝟳

Where an employee is provided with a company van that is available for private use, a tax charge may arise under the benefit in kind legislation. However, this will not always be the case. Unlike company cars, where a van benefit charge does arise, it does not depend on CO2 emissions. Instead, it is a set amount.

If fuel is provided for private use in the van, a fuel benefit charge may also arise.
