At VCK we advocate for filing returns early before the mandatory deadline 31st January

Here’s why:

Know exactly what you owe, no January tax bill surprises.

Plan your cash flow, you have more time to set money aside for your tax liability.

Avoid the January rush, get your return completed and submitted before the deadline pressure kicks in.

Identify errors early, there’s time to check your figures and make corrections if needed.

Plan for Payments on Account, understanding your liability early helps you prepare for your next tax payment.

Reduce stress, one less thing hanging over you at the start of the new year!

Remember, you don’t have to wait until January to file your Self Assessment tax return.

HMRC investigation doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve done anything wrong.

HMRC may investigate where they identify potential risks, such as:

📌 Unusual changes in turnover or profits
📌 High or unusual expenses
📌 Inconsistencies between tax returns and accounts
📌 VAT errors or late registration
📌 Repeated business losses
📌 Information that doesn’t match HMRC’s records
📌 Random compliance checks

The key is to keep accurate records and make sure your tax returns are accurate.
Good bookkeeping isn’t just about compliance, it gives you peace of mind if HMRC ever comes knocking on your door

As a business owner, how closely are you tracking your numbers especially your turnover?

Did you know that if your turnover reaches £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period, you generally need to register for VAT (subject to the relevant rules and exemptions) Tracking your turnover isn’t just about staying compliant.

Your numbers tell you what’s really happening in your business.

They help you understand:

[ ] Whether you’re on track to reach your business goals
[ ] Whether you’re pricing your services correctly
[ ] How profitable your business actually is
[ ] When it’s time to invest, grow or make changes
[ ] How to make informed decision

Using accounting software such as Xero or FreeAgent can make it much easier to keep your financial information up to date and monitor your performance throughout the year.

Second payment on account is due to be paid to HMRC by 31st July 2026. This is if your 2025-26 tax bill was over £1,000 or if less than 80% of your tax was deducted at source. Essentially you’re paying part of next year’s tax early and the amount you’re paying is as per your filed tax return 2025-26 tax year. HMRC assumes your income stays similar, so they split your bill into two to be paid in January and July. 30/07/2026

Filing accounts only with Companies House and not realising you also have to file with HMRC Then receive a penalty and not sure why If you are filing your own file both with Companies house and HMRC. Best get an accountant who can file for you to avoid penalties which are annoying and costly Doing it yourself to ‘save money’ could be costing you more This is a mistake I see all the time You file your accounts with Companies House… And think you’re done. But you ALSO need to file with HMRC. Miss this step and you could face penalties often without even knowing why Trying to save money by not hiring an accountant can end up being far more expensive. If you’re filing your own accounts, make sure you’re submitting to BOTH Companies House AND HMRC. Or better yet… work with an accountant and avoid the risk altogether Extracts from ‘Numbers behind the business book’ 📕 08/06/2026
