Tax news that's actually worth your coffee break? We've got a blog for that.

Every week, our tax expert David Jones takes a sharp (and often funny) look at the money and tax stories that affect you and your business.

No jargon. No dry lectures. Just years of real experience, served with a wink.

A few recent favourites:

📌 HMRC can now raid your bank account
📌 Are student loans a stealth tax?
📌 Yet another sorry tale of taking advice from a mate down the pub
📌 Why are gift baskets being targeted by HMRC?
📌 and not forgetting... Tales of the great marshmallow VAT saga

If you like your tax insight clever, current and occasionally cheeky, you'll feel right at home.

News just out - 428,000 taxpayers missed the first Making Tax Digital deadline. That's nearly half of everyone who was meant to file.

The first quarterly MTD for Income Tax update was due on 7th August, and a huge number of self-employed people, sole traders and landlords didn't make it.

Why? The learning curve has been harsh:

- HMRC system downtime and registration glitches
- New MTD-compliant software to get to grips with
- Confusion around exemptions, deferrals and more complex tax affairs

Here's the part that should make you sit up: if you keep putting it off, you could be facing nine returns in a single year by 2027 - four catch-up filings, four new quarterly updates, plus your annual declaration. All at once!

That's a lot of pressure for the UK's smallest businesses.

The good news? You don't have to tackle it alone.

At MJ & Co Accountants, we offer tailored MTD IT support to suit how you work, from software guidance to handling your full quarterly submissions. Services start from just £90 + VAT per quarter, and your first consultation is completely free!

Let's make the switch to MTD IT as smooth as possible.

Is the current council tax system fair? Many argue it isn't.

Bands haven't been updated since 1991 property values. That means households in the North can pay more than owners of multi-million pound mansions in Mayfair.

Now council tax reform is firmly on the agenda, and there are four options being discussed:

✔️Scrap council tax and fund services through direct taxation
✔️An annual charge based on your home's current value
✔️A land value tax (the model PM Andy Burnham appears to favour)
✔️A revaluation of existing bands

Each option creates winners and losers. So what could it mean for you?

Our latest article breaks down every option, the numbers behind them, and where the PM really stands.

📊 Making Tax Digital is here and if you're self-employed or a landlord, by now you should know whether you're affected.

MTD for Income Tax (MTD IT) applies to anyone with a combined self-employment and property income over £50,000. That means big changes to how you report to HMRC.

Here's what's changed:

✅ Digital record keeping - say goodbye to paper receipts and overflowing filing cabinets
✅ Quarterly updates - four submissions a year instead of one annual return
✅ Fewer year-end surprises - a clearer view of your tax position all year round

Sounds like a lot? It doesn't have to be. 🙌

At MJ & Co Accountants, we're the trusted local team in Shrewsbury, ready to guide you through every step of the switch. Whether you want us to handle it all or simply point you towards the right software, we've got a service to suit you starting from just £90 + VAT per quarter.

Have you received a letter from HMRC's Compliance Unit? Don't panic, but don't ignore it either.

HMRC actively targets individuals and businesses they believe have underpaid tax. The penalties can be steep: interest, hefty fines, and in serious cases, even prosecution.

Here's the good news. You don't have to face it alone.

At MJ & Co Accountants, our team gives small businesses expert, professional support through every stage of a tax enquiry. We handle the pressure so you can focus on running your business.

Worried about the cost? Our Investigation Indemnity Insurance starts from as little as £100 per annum, which we believe is real peace of mind for a modest outlay.

Self-employed? You could be missing out on thousands in state pension.

HMRC has revealed that up to 1 million self-employed people may have gaps in their National Insurance record; gaps that could reduce, or even wipe out, their state pension entitlement.

Here's the good news. HMRC is now contacting those affected and, in a rare show of flexibility, allowing voluntary Class 2 NIC contributions dating all the way back to April 2015 (well beyond the usual six-year limit).

Why this matters:

- Buying back a missing qualifying year costs just £189.90
- Over time, that single year could be worth around £3,750 in additional pension
- You need 35 qualifying years for the full new state pension

That's one of the best returns you'll find anywhere on your money.

Don't wait for a letter to land on your doormat. Check your National Insurance record and state pension forecast today through your Personal Tax Account. It takes minutes and tells you exactly where you stand.

Not sure whether topping up is worth it for your situation? That's where good advice pays off. Get in touch with our team and we'll help you make the right call.

With a budget on the horizon, the big question is: where will Andy Burnham find the money?

Our latest blog breaks down the most likely tax options on the table - from a wealth tax and land value tax to windfall levies and import tariffs - and asks whether the new PM will have the courage to be truly honest with the public about what's coming.
