📢 Important VAT update – Hospitality & Attractions

The Government has announced a temporary 5% VAT rate for eligible hospitality and attractions businesses, running from 25 June to 1 September 2026.

This reduced rate will also apply to children’s meals consumed on-site and children’s entertainment tickets for family attraction businesses, where these fall within the scope of the scheme.

We are currently reviewing the full details and will be contacting our clients directly to explain what this means in practice, including:

1) Who is eligible for the reduced rate?
2) What goods and services are covered?
3) How this affects VAT accounting, pricing, and systems?
4) Any actions required before 25th June?

If you operate in hospitality, leisure, or attractions, please do not make any changes yet until you’ve heard from us.

We’ll ensure you have clear, tailored guidance to help you stay compliant and up to date

💼 UK Autumn Budget 2025 – Key takeaways for Your Business & Property investment

A letter will be going out to all our clients covering the budget in more detail, but see below a summary:

The Chancellor’s Autumn Budget 2025 includes measures that may impact: sole traders, companies, partnerships, and landlords.

✅ Income & Profits

Income tax, Personal Allowance & NI rates remain unchanged but many thresholds frozen until 2031. This means rising profits may face higher total tax to pay (Fiscal drag)

Your dividend, and saving investments may be taxed more as their tax rate are set to increase.

✅ Companies & Business owners

Corporation tax unchanged, but profit extraction strategies (salary vs dividends) may need careful planning to navigate the increase in income and dividend taxes to be introduced.

New 40% first year allowance to encourage asset investment from 1st January 2026. £1m AIA remains in tact.

✅ Landlords & Property Investors

Your rental income may be impacted by the increase in property income tax rates.

High-value properties facing new or increased taxes.

Be prepared for any potential yet to be announced changes for Capital Gains Tax regime concerning properties etc. TBC

💡 Tip: Now is the time to review tax planning, profit extraction, pensions, and property strategies for 2025/26.

Switching accountants: Best business decision I made this year 🙌

After a stressful year with my previous accountants - last-minute scrambles, higher bills than expected, and little proactive support - I knew something had to change.

That's when I met Jamie at James-Goddard Accountancy in Tenby. Even whilst I was still tied up with my old accountants, Jamie was already helping me get sorted with Quickbooks and Dext, making invoicing, direct debits, and VAT returns so much simpler.

Fast forward to this year's annual accounts: the difference has staggering. The whole process was straightforward, far less stressful, and our business has saved considerably more money. Jamie's approachable, genuinely helpful, and his team have been brilliant at sorting through some proper headaches.

Everything's on a simple monthly direct debit - no surprise invoices, no hidden costs, just proper transparent service.

If you're a business owner looking for an accountant who's proactive, personable, and should actually save you more than they cost, get in touch with James-Goddard Accountants to see how they can help 👍
