TAS Accountancy

Future You vs HMRC. Who wins in 2026?

🎉 We’ve made it through the January Self Assessment rush, all tax returns submitted on time!
As your accountant, I’m really proud of how organised many of you have been this year. 🙌
Now that some of you are expecting tax refunds, I want to quickly warn you about something important:
⚠️ HMRC scam messages are everywhere right now.
If you receive a text, email or phone call saying “You’re due a tax refund, click this link” or asking for your personal/bank details, please ignore it and don’t click anything.
👉 Remember: HMRC will NEVER

Offer you a refund by text, email or phone
Ask for your bank details or personal info this way

✅ To check if you’re really due a refund:

Log in to your account on GOV.UK, or
Get in touch with your accountant (I’m always happy to help 💬)

🚨 To report scams:

Forward suspicious emails to [email protected]
Forward scam texts to 60599

Please share this to help protect friends and family from HMRC scams. Stay safe everyone. 🙏

📢 Making Tax Digital (MTD) is coming!

Starting 6 April 2026, MTD will apply to sole traders and landlords with income over £50,000. If your income is over £30,000, you’ll need to comply from April 2027.

✅ You’ll need to keep digital records using HMRC-compatible software—no more paper or Excel sheets!

📤 Submit quarterly updates and a final declaration through your software.

⚠️ Penalties apply if you miss deadlines or fail to keep proper digital records.

Each missed submission earns a point, and after 4 points, you’ll face a £200 fine for every additional late submission.

💡 Need help getting ready?

We’re here to guide you through the transition and make sure you stay compliant.

📣 Attention UK Company Directors!
Big changes are coming — and it’s time to get ahead of them. Starting 18 November 2025, all company directors will be required to verify their identity with Companies House. ✅
Why does this matter? Just look at what’s happening now:
👉 Over 11,500 UK companies have already been struck off the register following a major crackdown by the National Crime Agency.

This new identity check is part of a wider effort to clean up UK business practices and prevent fraud. If you're a director, make sure you're ready — staying compliant protects your business and your reputation.
📌 Don’t wait until the deadline. Start preparing now and stay ahead of the curve.

Identity Verification Deadline Approaching, Are You Ready?

Companies House is now sending reminder emails to company directors and PSCs (Persons with Significant Control) to voluntarily verify their identity before November 2025, when it becomes mandatory.

You can complete this process free of charge via GOV.UK One Login, or choose a trusted ACSP (Authorised Corporate Service Provider) like TAS Accountancy to handle it for you.

At TAS Accountancy, we offer secure identity verification and registration services directly with Companies House, ensuring your business stays compliant and protected.
