🌻 Can you claim sight tests and glasses through your business?

Limited company directors and employees: YES.

Eye tests are an allowable expense against corporation tax, but only when someone uses Display Screen Equipment for at least one hour per day.

Glasses must be needed solely for business purposes.

You must be able to prove it.

If you also wear them personally, you may claim a proportion - but they then become a taxable benefit, meaning P11D forms and Class 1A NI contributions apply.

Sole traders: NO

Unfortunately eye tests are not an allowable expense.

You're not legally required to follow Health & Safety Regulations as a sole trader, so HMRC won't accept the claim.

Knowing what you can legitimately claim could save you hundreds — or thousands — every year.

This morning’s networking came with conversation, connection… and a very well-timed sunflower cake 🌻

I had a lovely morning at the Your Partnerships Truro networking event, hosted by the wonderful dynamic duo Kelly and Emma from Time Savvy at The Arborist, Playing Place.

It was one of those smaller, more intimate networking groups where you actually get the chance to properly talk, listen and understand the people around the table. I loved it. It’s not just about the people in the room, it’s who they know too. I made some wonderful connections.

We played a brilliant game of Would You Rather, which got us all talking about our businesses, our experiences, and what growth really means to each of us.

And that was the part that really stayed with me.

Because growing a business doesn’t mean the same thing for everyone.

For some, it’s about money freedom.

For others, it’s time freedom.
And sometimes, the biggest goal is mind freedom less overwhelm, more clarity, and the confidence to make better decisions.

It was a brilliant reminder that business growth isn’t always about getting bigger.

Sometimes it’s about making your business better.

Better aligned with your life.

Better suited to your goals.

Better at giving you the freedom you actually want.

At Sunflower Accounts, that’s exactly the kind of work we love doing with our clients.

Yes, we help with the numbers.
But the numbers are only part of the story.

The real work is understanding what our clients want their business to do for them and helping them build a stronger, calmer, more profitable business that supports a better life.

A huge thank you to Emma and Kelly for hosting such a warm and thoughtful event, and to everyone around the table for such open conversation.

And a special mention to The Arborist the venue was excellent, the breakfast bap was delicious, and the cakes were incredible.
Including this one, which felt like it had been made especially for me.

🌻 STOP before you start a limited company.

Many believe being a sole trader is the least efficient for tax.

That’s not always true.

Here’s the reality…

If your profits are around £50,000 and you are the business, operating as a sole trader could be the more tax efficient route.

As a sole trader, your marginal tax rate is around 26% - income tax at 20% plus Class 4 National Insurance at 6%.

As a limited company, you’re looking at 19% corporation tax - plus 10.75% dividend tax

That’s 29.75% total - nearly 4% more expensive than if you were a sole trader.

Setting your business up as a limited company does make sense when…

🌻 You’re building a business that’s bigger than just you.

🌻 You’re not stripping out every penny of profit.

🌻 You want to retain some of your profit inside the company to invest in growth.

But there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.

And the wrong choice could cost you.

That’s why I created the FREE “Should I Be a Sole Trader or Limited Company?” guide.

I’ve distilled the essential info you need into easy-to-comprehend guidance so you can understand which structure works in your favour.

🌻 As a sole trader, you and your business are one and the same in the eyes of the law.

That means if your business gets into debt or faces a legal claim, your personal assets are on the line.

Your savings.

Your car.

In extreme cases, your home.

This is called unlimited liability.

If a customer sues you, if a supplier pursues an unpaid debt, or if your business runs into financial difficulty - creditors can come after you personally to recover what they’re owed.

Your Public Liability or Professional Indemnity insurance can provide protection against claims - but the underlying personal financial risk is very different from operating as a limited company.

A limited company is its own legal entity and your personal liability is - in most cases - limited to what you’ve invested.

Limited liability.

That doesn’t mean setting your business up as a sole trader is the wrong structure for you.

You should only make decisions about how you structure your business based on knowing the full picture.

I don’t want you to find out the hard way.

That’s why I created the FREE Company Accounting Handbook.
Inside, you’ll find a clear breakdown of all four business structures and the legal and tax implications of each.

🌻 Do not shake hands or sign a contract to go into a business partnership with someone… 👀

Without a Partnership Agreement.

Most partnerships skip this step and find themselves in a Very.

Difficult. Situation later.

Without a Partnership Agreement in place, you’re operating under the default rules of partnership law - which may not reflect what you and your partner/s actually agreed.

This could create serious problems when one partner wants to exit, because it affects how the business is valued, how the departing partner’s share is calculated, and whether the remaining partner/s can continue trading.

A well-drafted Partnership Agreement also sets out:

🌻 How profits and losses are split

🌻 How decisions are made and disputes are resolved

🌻 What happens when a partner retires or dies

Putting this in place from the start protects you, your partner/s, and the business.

Understanding your legal and financial obligations and risks as a business partner is just one of the things covered in my FREE

Company Accounting Handbook.

Inside you’ll find a clear breakdown of all four business structures and what each one means for your liability, your tax, and your protection, so you can make informed decisions about the route that is best for you.

🌻 “There’s no point registering for VAT!”

If you’re a service business owner with taxable turnover below the £90k VAT threshold, you may be asking yourself if you should register voluntarily.

Many owners of service businesses believe there is no point registering until you have to, because you won’t be able to claim much VAT back.

The amount of VAT you can reclaim is only half the picture.

The questions you should be asking yourself …

🌻 Are you pitching for bigger contracts that expect suppliers to be VAT registered because it shows they are more established and ready?

🌻 Could registering now give you a cashflow advantage by reclaiming VAT paid on a large purchase of stock and assets in the last 4 years and services in the last 6 months?

🌻 Is now a naturally good time for you to register - before you hit your busy season and your rolling 12-month turnover crosses the threshold?

For some business owners, voluntary registration makes complete sense.

So don’t automatically rule it out just because others have chosen not to.

Your VAT position is just one of the many things you need to know as a limited company director so it’s important to arm yourself with the right information on which to make informed decisions.

That’s why I created my FREE Company Directors’ Accounting Handbook.

It contains everything else you need to know to run your company accounting effectively, effectively and compliantly.
