SMH Group

SMH Group Giving you the confidence to grow and shape your future.

Since 1995 Sutton McGrath Hartley have been a Chartered Accountancy firm based in Sheffield and Chesterfield. In 2018 the firm began an exciting growth period, first acquiring BullockWoodburn followed by Haywood & Co, Andertons Liversidge, Jolliffe Cork, Malcolm J Harris, BCL Accountants, D’Arcy Howard & Co, Howard Matthews, Sheards and Reed Smith. Now, with over 150 staff across 9 offices and ad

ditional services being offered within the group, it has become clear that for the clients of each office to benefit, everything should be tied together with a new SMH branding. In 2022, the SMH Group was born, with all the individual offices having their original names prefixed with ‘SMH’. The change allows us to give each office access to the wider group’s services, whilst keeping the local knowledge and expertise in each area. The rebrand was the vision of James Hartley in a bid to make sure there is a clear path and structure for existing and new group entities. The mission of the newly formed SMH Group is to ‘ensure no financial stone is left unturned’ to enable clients to access all their financial requirements within one group of companies.

New reporting requirements for close company directors are coming, don’t get caught out!

For 2025/26, self-assessment returns will need a separate employment page for each directorship, covering dividends, company details and shareholding.

These changes will make it easier for HMRC to check dividend reporting.

A temporary VAT reduction is being introduced this summer for selected family activities and children’s meals. ☀️

From 25 June to 1 September 2026, qualifying businesses across the hospitality, leisure and entertainment sectors may be able to apply a reduced 5% VAT rate on eligible admissions and children’s meals as part of the Government’s Great British Summer Scheme.

For businesses, it is important to understand what qualifies, how the changes should be applied, and whether updates may be needed to pricing, EPOS systems or customer communications.

Our latest blog explains what businesses need to know ahead of the summer period.

The government has announced an increase in tax-free mileage rates for employees using their own vehicles for work. 🚗

The change, which is backdated to April 2026, increases the approved mileage rate for cars and vans to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles of the tax year.

For businesses and employees alike, it is an important update to be aware of, particularly as mileage rates had remained unchanged for many years.

If you are unsure how the changes may affect your business or employees, our team is here to help.
