This week at 1st Cloud Accountantsđź’ˇ
Energy regulator Ofgem has announced a 4% increase in the energy price cap from 1 October to 31 December 2026, driven by higher wholesale gas prices linked to ongoing Middle Eastern conflicts. This rise affects around 22 million households on default tariffs, limiting energy costs. While the cap does not impact businesses directly, higher wholesale prices may raise commercial contract costs. Notably, the government has removed VAT from domestic electricity bills.

“Do I really need to do a Self Assessment return?” is one of the most common questions we hear. If your tax is not fully dealt with through PAYE, the answer may well be yes.

Self Assessment is how HMRC collects Income Tax on things like self-employment, rental income, dividends, capital gains and the High Income Child Benefit Charge. If HMRC asks you for a return, you must send one.

Miss the filing or payment deadlines and you risk automatic penalties, interest and extra charges that quickly add up.

At 1st Cloud Accountants, we can help you:
• Check if you actually need to file
• Register for Self Assessment correctly and on time
• Keep the right records and claim all allowable reliefs
• File your return well before the deadlines
• Plan for your tax bill so 31 January is not a shock

If you are unsure about your position for the 2025 to 2026 tax year, get in touch and we will talk you through your options in plain English.

The UK jobs market is showing signs of strain, with job vacancies dropping to 707,000, the lowest since late 2014. Rising costs are making smaller firms hesitant to hire. Despite this, the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.9%, while wage growth disparities continue, with public sector pay increasing more than private sector. Payrolled employee numbers fell 0.3% year-on-year, indicating a subdued market. What do you think these trends mean for the UK's economic future? Leave a comment below! đź’Ľ

“Do I really need to keep all these tax records?” is something we hear a lot from Self Assessment clients.

If you send a Self Assessment return, HMRC expects you to keep accurate, complete and readable records. That includes employment, pension, rental, savings, investment, overseas and, if you’re self-employed, business income and costs. You also need them if you claim work expenses.

If your figures are wrong and you have not paid enough tax, you could face interest and penalties.

At 1st Cloud Accountants, we can help you:
• Work out which records you actually need to keep
• Decide how long to keep them for, based on when you file
• Organise digital or paper records so they’re easy to use
• Deal with missing, estimated or provisional figures correctly

Not sure if your records are up to scratch? Get in touch for clear, practical guidance.

By modelling different scenarios, you can identify how small margin improvements can yield significant benefits. This proactive approach combines financial projections with actionable initiatives for sustained growth. How do you plan to boost your profits? Share your thoughts below! đź’Ľ

“Do I really need to think about National Insurance, or does it just sort itself out through my pay?”

National Insurance affects your State Pension and some benefits, whether you’re employed, self-employed or not working at the moment. The class you pay, and whether you pay anything at all, depends on your age, earnings and profits.

If you get it wrong or ignore gaps in your record, you could miss out on benefit entitlements or reduce your future State Pension.

At 1st Cloud Accountants, we can help you:
• Check which NI classes apply to you
• Understand how your earnings or profits affect what you pay
• Spot gaps in your NI record and discuss voluntary contributions
• Keep HMRC updated when your circumstances change

Want clarity on your National Insurance position? Get in touch with our team today.
