⛳ Golf, cricket, tennis, football or social club? We audit club accounts.

Many clubs need their annual accounts independently audited, because their rules or constitution require it, members ask for it at the AGM, or a governing body, lender or grant funder expects it.

At Berkshire Accountants, we're Chartered Certified Accountants and Registered Auditors, and we work with clubs and associations to provide:

✅ Audits of club accounts
✅ Independent examinations for clubs that are charities
✅ Clear, committee-ready accounts and reports for your AGM

If your treasurer or committee is looking for an auditor, or wants a fresh pair of eyes this year, we'd be happy to help.

💍 Married or in a civil partnership? You could be missing a free tax break.

Marriage Allowance lets the lower-earning partner transfer £1,260 of their personal allowance to their spouse or civil partner:

✅ Saves up to £252 a year
✅ Can be backdated up to 4 years, so you could get a lump sum on top
✅ The lower earner must earn under £12,570, and the higher earner must be a basic-rate taxpayer

It only takes a few minutes to claim, yet many eligible couples never do. Not sure if you qualify? Ask us.

💷 Company directors: dividend tax went up in April 2026

If you pay yourself through a mix of salary and dividends, the numbers have changed for 2026/27:

🔹 £500: tax-free dividend allowance
🔹 10.75%: basic rate (was 8.75%)
🔹 35.75%: higher rate (was 33.75%)
🔹 39.35%: additional rate (unchanged)

The way you set your salary and dividends last year may no longer be the most tax-efficient. A quick review now could save you tax for the rest of the year.

💻 Making Tax Digital is coming for more sole traders and landlords

MTD for Income Tax started in April 2026. If your gross income from self-employment and/or property is:

✅ Over £50,000: you're already in
✅ Over £30,000: you join from April 2027
✅ Over £20,000: you join from April 2028

MTD means keeping digital records, using HMRC-compatible software and sending quarterly updates, not just one return a year.

HMRC will use your 2025/26 tax return to decide whether you're in from April 2027, so now is the time to get your bookkeeping ready.

We can help you choose the right software and set it up properly.

🏠 Sold a second home or buy-to-let? You have 60 days.

When you sell a UK residential property that isn't your main home, any Capital Gains Tax must be reported and paid to HMRC within 60 days of completion. It can't wait for your tax return.

📌 60 days from completion to report and pay
📌 18% CGT for basic-rate taxpayers, 24% for higher-rate taxpayers
📌 £3,000 annual tax-free allowance per person

Miss the deadline and HMRC charges a £100 penalty plus interest.

Allowable costs, such as improvements and buying and selling fees, as well as reliefs and joint ownership, can all reduce your bill. Speak to us before you sell, not after.

💙 Today is World Mental Health Day.

At Berkshire Accountants, we see every day how money and mental health are connected. A tax bill you weren’t expecting, a deadline getting closer, cash flow keeping you up at night: these pressures are real, and they affect business owners, landlords and families alike.

This year’s theme is “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change”, and it’s a reminder that talking makes a difference.

A few simple things can help:
🔹 Talk to someone you trust about how you’re feeling
🔹 Ask for help early, because problems often feel smaller once they’re shared
🔹 Don’t avoid the brown envelopes. Most money problems have more solutions than you think

Here in Reading, No5 is a local charity offering free counselling and mental health support. Find out more at no5.org.uk or call 0118 901 5668.

And if it’s tax or finances on your mind, our door is always open. Sometimes a single conversation can take a weight off your shoulders.

Look after yourselves, and check in on the people around you. 💙

📅 Self Assessment deadline: are you ready?

If you're self-employed, a landlord, a company director or have other untaxed income, your 2025/26 tax return is due soon:

🗓️ 31 October 2026: deadline for paper returns
🗓️ 31 January 2027: deadline for online returns AND for paying any tax due
⚠️ £100: automatic penalty if you file even one day late, with more penalties after 3 months and interest on tax paid late

Every January, thousands of people rush their return and miss reliefs and expenses they could have claimed. Get it done early and you'll know your bill well before you have to pay it.
