Quick tips
Useful checks for business owners
Claim allowable expenses
Office costs, travel, equipment, software, and working-from-home costs may reduce taxable profit when they are valid and properly recorded.
Watch VAT thresholds
Growing businesses should review turnover regularly so VAT registration is planned rather than discovered late.
Keep payroll reviewed
Minimum wage rates, statutory payments, deductions, and staff changes should be checked before the first affected payroll run.
Plan before year end
Pensions, dividends, director loans, capital expenditure, and personal tax allowances are easier to plan before deadlines arrive.
Plan for inheritance tax early
Estate planning is more effective when tax advice and legal advice are joined up before decisions are made.
Do not face HMRC alone
An experienced adviser can manage communication, records, deadlines, and the route toward an amenable outcome.
