Five days to go, and this deadline falls on a Saturday.

31 October is the deadline for:

→ Paper Self Assessment tax returns for the 2025/26 tax year
→ Annual accounts filed with Companies House for limited companies with a 31 January 2026 year-end (due nine months after the financial year ends)

Miss a deadline and you could face a penalty. For late company accounts, penalties start at £150, with no warning letter required first.

Filing your Self Assessment tax return online? Your deadline is 31 January 2027, but it’s worth knowing how much you owe well before then.

At Find Totals, we help you get your figures ready well ahead of deadline day.

If you run payroll, your PAYE, National Insurance and CIS deductions for the tax month ended 5 October are due to HMRC tomorrow!

Paying electronically: must clear by 22 October

Miss the window and HMRC charges interest automatically.

While you're checking the deadline, check the total: what does your payroll actually cost you each month? Gross pay is only one line. Employer National Insurance and pension contributions sit on top.

If that number surprises you, it's worth a conversation before your next hire.

The number that catches most self-employed people out is: the cash you have left once the tax bill is paid.

Your bank balance isn't all yours if part of it belongs to HMRC. The owners who never panic in January aren't necessarily earning more. They set tax aside as they go.

Simple habits you can employ:
→ Open a separate account for tax
→ Move a set percentage of every payment into it, the day it lands
→ Ask your accountant what that percentage should be for your income

If you're a contractor on day rates, or invoicing on 30 to 60 day terms, this matters even more. Your work is done long before your cash arrives.

Would you drive a car with no dashboard?

No speedometer., no fuel gauge, and no warning lights.

You’d probably get somewhere, but you’d be guessing the whole way, and you’d only find out something was wrong when the engine cut out.

Plenty of UK business owners run their finances exactly like this. They know roughly how the business is doing, but they can’t say for certain:

→ How much cash will be in the bank in 60 days
→ What tax is due, and when
→ Which products or services actually make a profit
→ What’s working, and what’s quietly costing money

We act as your business dashboard. We give you full visibility of your cashflow, tax timelines, profit margins and performance, so you can make decisions with confidence instead of instinct.

If you’d like a clearer view of your numbers, send us a message or click the link in the comments to book a free consultation.

Saturday's quiz answer is above the line.

£22,000 from trading plus £9,000 from a rental flat is £31,000, and that's the number that counts for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

Three things people miss:
→ It's gross income, before expenses, not profit
→ Trading and property income are added together
→ The £30,000 line applies from 6 April 2027, based on your 2025/26 tax return. (Over £50,000? It started this April.)

This applies to sole traders and landlords, not limited companies.

Quarterly updates aren't tax bills. They're a running total, and the owners who find this easy are the ones who can already see theirs. If you're already in scope, your current update covers 6 July to 5 October and is due 7 November.

Most business owners know their sales.
Fewer know their total tax bill.

And by the time they find out, there’s often very little they can do about it.

That’s the problem we want to fix.

Every Monday, we’ll take one number that matters to your business and make it easier to understand.

Your tax total.
Your cash total.
Your VAT total.
Your payroll total.

What it means, when it’s due, and what you can do about it.

Follow the series. And if you want to know where your numbers stand, book a free 30-minute consultation. Link in bio.

P.S. Today, 5 October, is the deadline to register for Self Assessment if you started self-employment or began receiving rental income in 2025/26.

One week left.

If you started working for yourself or earning rental income for the first time in 2025/26, you need to register for Self Assessment with HMRC by 5 October — next Monday.

Skip it, and HMRC can penalise you even if you go on to file and pay everything correctly.

Find Totals registers you with HMRC today and manages your return from there — Self-Assessment from £38/month.

Not everyone who runs a business feels confident talking about tax.

We know; it’s more common than people admit.

HMRC's Tax Confident guidance is a decent starting point for the plain-English basics of tax and pensions.

But understanding the general rules is one thing. Knowing exactly what they mean for your business is another — that's the part we do.

Book a free consultation and we'll translate your numbers into a plan.

Nine days left in Q3.

If your bookkeeping has been "getting to it eventually" all quarter, October is when that catches up with you — right as Self Assessment season starts ramping up.

The businesses that go into Q4 calmly aren't the ones with no mess. They're the ones who cleared it before it became urgent.

Find Totals can get your books current before October — Bookkeeping from £95/month.

Be honest — if a text from 'HMRC' asked you to confirm your bank details for a refund, would you know it's fake?

The answer is always NO. HMRC will never ask for bank or personal details by text or social media, and genuine contact about tax debt never comes with threats of arrest.

Scam texts spike as Self Assessment season approaches. Worth flagging to your team now, before it lands in someone's inbox.

Not sure if something you've received is genuine? Forward it to us — we'll tell you straight.
