If Pets Needed Accountants

Imagine a world where pets had to file tax returns.
Dogs claiming tennis balls. Cats claiming “emotional damage from humans.” Hamsters running side hustles. Parrots demanding everything be written off as “seed expenses.”

Honestly… accountants would quit by lunchtime.

Shoutout to the real heroes of Britain’s backbone — the trades. You’re out there fixing, building, lifting, welding, wiring and generally stopping the country from collapsing like a badly‑poured slab.

Meanwhile accountants are in the office having a full‑scale meltdown because someone wrote “misc.” on a receipt.

Mechanics battling seized bolts. Sparkies keeping the lights on. Chippies and brickies fighting weather, deadlines, and Dave losing his tape measure every 14 minutes. Accountants? Colour‑coding spreadsheets like it’s
an Olympic sport.

But hey — we salute them too. Without accountants, HMRC would be kicking down doors like a budget action movie. Without the trades? Nothing gets built. Nothing gets fixed. The country stops faster than a Transit with
no oil.

If you want an accountant who actually gets the trades — one who won’t faint at a muddy invoice, understands why a job runs over, and speaks fluent grease, dust and common sense — get in touch.

Just in case you were hiding under a 🪨 today during the budget...

Here are the main tax changes that will affect typical small businesses:

- No change to income tax, NI or VAT rates, but thresholds frozen (more people pay more).

- +2% tax on dividends, savings & rental income.

- New mansion tax on £2m+ homes.

- Pension salary-sacrifice perks capped from 2029, i.e. stopping large employer pension contributions instead of taking salary.

- CT, VAT & ER NI unchanged for small companies.

- Employee Ownership Trust reduction of 100% tax relief to 50%.

Oh and the government announced new minimum wage amounts for next April.

Overall I think the feeling is it could've been worse!
