The Chancellor is up today, and by this evening there will be a hundred articles telling you what it means for you. 💡

Most of them will have been written before the documents were published.

We will go through what is actually in it, work out which parts touch our clients, and come back to you with the bits that genuinely change something. Not a reaction, not a scramble, just the handful of things worth knowing.

If you are one of ours, you will hear from us. If you are not and you would like to be, today is a reasonable day to pick up the phone. ✅

Every October we get calls from people who have had a letter and cannot work out why HMRC want a return off them. 💡

You can be fully employed, taxed through PAYE, and still need to file. Letting out a property. Dividends or savings income above the allowances. Selling a second property or shares at a gain. Income from abroad. A share of a partnership. Being asked to repay some child benefit because of what one of you earns.

None of that makes you self employed. All of it can put you in Self Assessment.

And a return you did not realise you needed is still late on 1 February. 📌

Had a letter and not sure why? Ring 01270 260600.

From Sunday it is dark by five, and from Sunday the tax return quietly moves to next weekend. Every weekend. Until January. 💡

We say this every year because it is true every year: the people who have an easy January are not more organised than you. They just did a boring hour in October.

Bank statements in one place. Receipts out of the van. Anything odd about this year written down while you still remember why.

We are a small firm in Stapeley and we have watched this exact pattern for over 20 years. The dark half of the year is not the problem. Leaving it until the dark half is nearly over is. ✅

Rather hand the lot over before the clocks go back? 01270 260600.

The Companies House identity verification transition closes on 18 November 2026. That is four weeks from today. 🔎

Every company director and every person with significant control has to be verified. It is not optional, and once the transition closes a company that has not complied cannot file properly, with an offence on the statute book for the non-compliance.

Most directors get asked to verify around their next confirmation statement. If yours falls after the transition closes, you do not get to wait for it.

It takes minutes. The problem is never the doing, it is the assuming somebody else did it. 📌

Want us to check whether yours is done? Ring 01270 260600.

PAYE and National Insurance for the month ended 5 October is due by 19 October if you pay by post, or 22 October if you pay electronically. 📅

The bit that catches smaller employers is the quarterly option. If your average monthly PAYE bill is under £1,500 you can pay four times a year instead of twelve, and the quarter that just ended on 5 October is due on exactly those same dates.

So a quarterly payer who has not thought about PAYE since July has a payment due next week.

Both dates are weekdays this month, so there is no weekend rule to argue about. ⏰

Or hand payroll over and stop watching the calendar. 01270 260600.

Paper Self Assessment returns for 2025/26 have to reach HMRC by 31 October. Here is the part almost nobody knows. 💡

If you meant to file on paper and the 31st goes past, you can still avoid a late filing penalty by filing online instead, as long as that is done by 31 January.

But if you post a paper return after 31 October, that penalty is yours. Filing again online before January will not undo it.

So if the paper deadline is going to beat you, the answer is not to post it anyway. The answer is to go online. 📌

Not sure which route you are on? Ring 01270 260600.

This is the single belief that stops people doing their tax return in October, and it is simply not true. 💡

File your 2025/26 return tomorrow and the tax still is not due until 31 January 2027. Nothing leaves your bank a day sooner.

What changes is that you find out the number three months early. Three months to put it aside, three months to spot that a payment on account is coming, three months to do something about it if the figure is a shock.

The alternative is finding out in late January, which is also when everybody else is finding out. ✅

Get the number early. Ring 01270 260600.

For anyone already inside MTD for Income Tax, the quarter to 5 October closed on Monday, and that update has to be submitted by 7 November. 💡

This is the part people have not adjusted to yet. It is not one return once a year any more. It is four updates in the year plus a final declaration, and the dates do not shift.

The first band in is self employed people and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000. The £30,000 band follows in April 2027, which sounds a long way off and is actually two filing seasons.

The ones finding it painless are the ones who got their records in order before they were made to. 📌

Want MTD handled rather than survived? Call 01270 260600.
