If you’re now using Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, your second quarterly update is due by 7 November.

Quarterly updates are a summary of the income and expenses you’ve recorded digitally so far. They’re not another full tax return, but they are now part of the process for those who came into MTD from April 2026.

If you’re affected and you’re not quite sure what needs to be submitted, or whether your records are where they should be, speak to us.

We’ll help you make sense of it.

For help with MTD, call the BAS team on 01296 681 341

Busy doesn't always mean profitable...

A full diary is great.
Lots of orders are great.
More customers are great.

But none of those automatically mean the business is making more money.

If your costs have risen, jobs are taking longer or your prices haven’t changed in a while, you could be busier than ever without seeing much difference in the profit left behind.

That’s why it’s worth looking beyond turnover.

How much is each job, product or service actually making you?

Sometimes the numbers tell a slightly different story to the diary.

It’s spooky season… but your business finances don’t need to be scary.

👻 Unexpected tax bills.

🧛‍♂️ Deadlines creeping up on you.

🎃 Cash flow getting tighter than you realised.

🧟‍♂️ Costs quietly adding up in the background.

Those are the kind of surprises we’d rather help you avoid.

Keeping on top of your numbers throughout the year means you have a much clearer idea of where you stand and what’s coming next.

If your finances are feeling a little frightening, give the BAS team a call on 01296 681 341

Still filing your tax return on paper?

A quick October deadline reminder.

If you’re submitting a paper Self Assessment tax return for 2025/26, HMRC needs to receive it by 31 October 2026.

Most returns are now submitted online, where the deadline is later, but if paper filing applies to you, don’t let the date creep up unnoticed.

And if you’re planning to file online instead?

There’s still no need to wait until January.

If your records are ready, send them over and let’s get it sorted.

You don’t need to be an accountant to understand your business numbers.

But you should have a good idea of what’s coming in, what’s going out and what’s coming next.

Because when you know your numbers, decisions become much easier.

➡ Can you afford to recruit?

➡ Is it time to put your prices up?

➡ Can you invest in new equipment?

➡ How much should you be putting aside for tax?

➡ Are you actually making enough money?

Your accounts aren’t just something we prepare because HMRC says so.

Used properly, they’re one of the most useful tools you have for running your business.

And if the numbers currently feel more confusing than useful, that’s where we come in - 01296 681341

Good accountancy isn't just about filing returns on time (but we're pro's at that...obviously).

It's about being in our clients corner as someone who knows their business, gives straight answers and is still there year after year as things change.

Fifteen years of looking after Roger's accounts, and we'd happily do another fifteen.... and beyond!

“Can I put that through the business?”
One of our most frequently asked questions…

If we had £1 for every time an accountant was asked:
“Can I put that through the business?”
…well, you know the rest 😂

The answer is often: it depends.

Business expenses generally need to meet specific rules, and something being useful while you’re working doesn’t automatically make the whole cost allowable for tax.

Some expenses are straightforward.

Others depend on how something is used, what type of business you run and whether there’s a personal element too.

So rather than guessing - ask us.

We would always rather you check than miss something you could legitimately claim or include something you shouldn’t.

Can I put that through the business? 👀

It’s one of the questions we hear all the time - and the answer isn’t always as simple as you might think.

Our latest blog breaks down some of the most common business expenses, what may be allowable and when it’s worth checking with us first.

Not everyone is comfortable with accounting software, online portals or HMRC's website (and frankly, business owners shouldn't have to be). Running your business is the job. The accountancy software and HMRC's systems are our job.

Part of what we do is making the technical side feel less intimidating, so clients can ask anything without ever feeling embarrassed about it.
