Thinking about selling an investment property? You might be surprised to learn about Capital Gains Tax (CGT)! If you sell a property that's not your main home—like a buy-to-let or inherited property—you may owe CGT on the profits. But don't worry, you can deduct allowable costs like legal fees and improvements to lower your taxable gain. Keep your records accurate and stay ahead of any potential tax liabilities.

Did you know that if you inherit property or money, you generally won't pay tax on that inheritance? The reason is that any Inheritance Tax (IHT) is typically handled before you get your share! But watch out, if those inherited assets generate income, you may owe Income Tax on that. And, if the value of your shares increases, you could face Capital Gains Tax. Additionally, if you give gifts during your lifetime, like helping a friend purchase a home, those could impact inheritance tax down the road. Curious about your own estate planning? Reach out to a professional for guidance!

Hey everyone! Tax season is behind us, but there’s a crucial step you might not want to overlook. After submitting your self-assessment tax returns for the 2024–25 tax year, it’s the perfect time to revisit how long you should keep those important tax records!

You generally need to hold onto personal records for at least 22 months after the tax year ends. For example, if you filed your return for the year ending 5 April 2025, keep your records until at least 31 January 2027.

Also, don’t forget about income from employment, rental income, savings, and more! Each record plays a vital role in preparing your return.

Check your files and ensure you’ve got your documentation in order. Have questions? Drop them in the comments below. Let’s get organized together!

Stay savvy, and happy filing!

Starting April 2026, be prepared for an increase in dividend tax rates if investing in non-tax-advantaged wrappers. It's essential to plan wisely to maximize your income and manage taxes effectively.

Important update for businesses! Recently, Companies House encountered a blunder that exposed sensitive company data for a short time. Users logged into the WebFiling service could access and modify limited information of other companies. Although this flaw was not open to the public, it raised serious concerns about the security of private information, including dates of birth and addresses. After detecting the vulnerability, Companies House took immediate action by shutting down the WebFiling service to investigate. They have confirmed that existing documents remain secure, and passwords were not compromised. If you’re a company, we urge you to review your registered details and filing history to ensure everything is in order. If you have any concerns, please report them through the official complaints page. Don’t wait, protect your business today!
