Happy August Bank Holiday!

Enjoy the long weekend.

One thing before you switch off completely: if your limited company's financial year ended on 30 November 2025, today is your deadline to file annual accounts with Companies House.

Miss it and the penalty is automatic; there's no warning letter first, and it increases the longer the accounts stay outstanding.

If your year-end doesn't fall in November, this isn't your deadline but it's a good reminder to check when yours is.

Not sure of your filing date? We'll check it for you.

If you started working for yourself or began earning rental income for the first time during 2025/26, this one's for you.

You need to register for Self Assessment with HMRC by 5 October 2026.

That's not the tax return deadline; it's the deadline just to tell HMRC you exist as a taxpayer.

Thing is, you can be penalised if you miss it, even if you eventually file and pay everything correctly.

It takes minutes to register. Getting your records in order for the return itself takes longer — which is why we suggest starting early.

If your business has spent time or money solving a technical problem, building new software, or improving a process this year — you may be entitled to R&D Tax Relief, whether or not the project succeeded.

It's one of the most under-claimed reliefs in UK business tax. Many owners assume it's only for labs and tech startups. It isn't.

What typically qualifies:
→ Developing new or improved products or processes
→ Custom software builds
→ Technical trial and error, even on failed projects

We can tell you in one call whether your work qualifies.

Today's the postal deadline for July's PAYE, National Insurance and CIS payments to HMRC.

If you’re paying by cheque, it needs to reach HMRC today.

Paying electronically? You have until 22 August for the funds to clear.

Miss either deadline and HMRC starts charging interest immediately — there's no grace period for a few days late.

If this date keeps catching you out, it might be time to let someone else own it.

Dehydration in older adults doesn’t always look like thirst.

It can resemble confusion, tiredness, or a dizzy spell that gets brushed off as ‘just getting older.’

What out for these signs:
- Confusion or increased sleepiness
- Dark-coloured urine
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Dry mouth, lips or skin

Older adults are more at risk because the body’s sense of thirst naturally weakens with age — so it’s often carers and family who spot it first, not the person themselves.

If something feels off, it’s always worth checking with a GP.

Our care visits build hydration checks into every routine without making a fuss of it.

August is peak holiday season and if you employ staff, that usually means overtime, temporary cover, or simply doing more with less for a few weeks.

It's easy to treat this as a short-term cost. It's actually a cash flow decision.

Before you approve cover or overtime, check:
→ What it does to this month's payroll cost
→ Whether it's already accounted for in your cash flow forecast
→ Whether it needs to come out of this month's or next month's budget

A five-minute check now avoids a surprise in your bank balance later.

Want a clearer view of your cash flow? We can help.

If you're running a payroll, your PAYE, National Insurance and CIS deductions for July are due to HMRC soon.

→ Paying by cheque: must reach HMRC by 19 August
→ Paying electronically: must clear by 22 August

This is a monthly deadline, not a one-off — the 19th/22nd cycle repeats every tax month. Missing it means interest starts accruing straight away, even a few days late.

We run payroll for clients so this date never sneaks up on them.

If you filed your first Making Tax Digital update last week, well done — that's one down.

Here's what you need to know before the next one:

Your next quarterly update covers 6 July to 5 October and is due 7 November. Then 7 February. Then 7 May.

HMRC isn't issuing penalty points for late updates in this first year of MTD for Income Tax, but that grace period won't last, and your annual Self Assessment return still depends on accurate quarterly records.

The easiest way to stay ahead Iis to keep your bookkeeping current between now and November, instead of scrambling the week before.

Need a system that does this for you? Let's talk.
