Did you know?
Choosing to leave your workplace pension doesn't always mean you're out for good.
If you're still eligible, your employer will usually re-enrol you automatically every three years.
It's a rule that catches many employees by surprise.

Salary sacrifice can be a smart way to reduce tax, boost your pension and access certain employee benefits more efficiently—but it's important to understand the rules.
In 2026/27, salary sacrifice can still be particularly effective for:
• Pension contributions
• Electric cars
• Cycle-to-work schemes
• Workplace nursery places
For some employees, it can also help reduce adjusted net income, potentially restoring the Personal Allowance or reducing the High Income Child Benefit Charge.
However, there are trade-offs. Salary sacrifice can affect statutory pay, mortgage affordability and, from April 2029, the National Insurance savings on pension salary sacrifice will change for contributions above £2,000 a year.
The right arrangement depends on your income, your goals and your wider financial plans.
Read our latest guide to understand the benefits, upcoming changes and the key things to consider before entering a salary sacrifice arrangement: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EYHEp2C0kmQVeOcbUG6ByLDlzrLSdF3Y/view?usp=drive_link
Rising costs don't affect every business in the same way.
Recent figures show UK construction firms are facing some of the sharpest increases in fuel, energy and material costs seen in years, while supply chain delays continue to put pressure on projects and profitability.
In times like these, understanding your costs, cashflow and pricing strategy becomes even more important.

Running more than one limited company?
Your corporation tax thresholds may be lower than you think.
Associated companies share the £50k/£250k corporation tax thresholds, meaning higher tax rates can apply sooner—and quarterly tax payments could also be triggered earlier.

More people are working internationally than ever before, and one of the biggest misconceptions is that leaving the UK automatically ends your UK tax obligations. In reality, tax residence rules can be more complex, and the timing of a move can have a significant impact on your tax position.
If you're planning a move overseas, already working abroad, or preparing to return to the UK, it's worth reviewing your position before making any major decisions.
Our team can help you understand the rules and avoid unexpected tax issues.
