Tax deadlines and unexpected bills can put unnecessary pressure on your business.

Good tax planning isn't just about submitting returns on time. It's about understanding what you're likely to owe, when payments are due and whether tax reliefs or allowances are available.

At ApC, we help businesses plan ahead, manage their tax obligations and make informed financial decisions throughout the year.

From reviewing your workings, or doing it for you, you can be confident we will be there when you want us.

Successful businesses allocate time to create and manage budgets, prepare and review business plans and regularly monitor their financial situation.

By referring to your business’s budget, you’ll be able to compare actual income and expenditure against your budget and identify whether sufficient resources are available for initiatives that support growth and development.

As a business owner, it will also enable you to concentrate on cash flow, reducing costs, improving profits and increasing returns on investment.

Effective budgeting is an important part of sound financial management because it helps businesses plan ahead, control spending and monitor performance.

Without effective financial control, plans can quickly become unrealistic. And without clear objectives and regular monitoring, it is much harder to measure whether the business is moving in the right direction.

It's a fair way off January yet, but if last year's tax bill gave you a nasty surprise, now is a good time to think about it rather than in the last week of the month with the deadline bearing down.

If you know a payment is going to be difficult, HMRC's Time to Pay arrangement lets you spread what you owe over instalments rather than finding it all in one go. If you think you’ll struggle to pay, it is worth acting early. If you are up to date with your tax payments, you may be able to make payments towards your January bill in advance using HMRC’s Budget Payment Plan. If you will not be able to pay the bill in full by the deadline, HMRC may agree a Time to Pay arrangement allowing you to pay by instalments.

A Time to Pay arrangement can reduce or avoid late-payment penalties where it is agreed before the relevant penalty trigger dates and you keep to the agreed payments. It is not automatic, and late-payment interest will normally continue to run on the outstanding balance.

Clients who seek advice early have more time to understand their options and, where appropriate, approach HMRC before penalties and recovery action become an issue. If your January bill is likely to be a stretch, get in touch with ApC Accountants today and we'll help you plan ahead properly.

Since 6 April 2026, the ordinary rate of dividend tax has increased from 8.75% to 10.75%, and the upper rate from 33.75% to 35.75%. The additional rate remains unchanged at 39.35%. On its own that might not sound like much, but if you're a director drawing a decent chunk of your income as dividends, it adds up quickly. A director taking £40,000 in dividends on top of a small salary is now paying several hundred pounds more a year than they were, and the extra cost increases as more dividends fall within the ordinary and upper dividend rate bands.

It's worth saying, dividends are still often the right approach for a lot of directors, this isn't about ripping up your whole strategy. It's about checking that the split between salary, dividends and anything else you take out of the business still makes sense now the numbers have moved, rather than assuming what worked last year still works this year.

Get in touch with ApC Accountants today if you'd like us to run through your own figures and make sure you're still extracting profit in the most sensible way for your situation.

5 October has been and gone, and if you should have registered for Self Assessment for the first time this year and didn't quite get round to it, you're not the only one.

The good news is that missing 5 October doesn’t automatically mean an immediate penalty, but you should register as soon as possible. If tax remains unpaid at 31 January, a failure-to-notify penalty may arise, so acting now gives you more time to get registered, complete your return and make sure any tax due is paid on time.

Get in touch with ApC Accountants today and we'll get your registration sorted and make sure nothing else slips through the cracks before your return is due.

05/10/2026

Identity verification for directors and People with Significant Control is now well underway, and for most existing companies the deadline isn't one fixed date, it's tied to your next confirmation statement.

Here's what that means in practice:

🔸 Existing directors must verify their identity and provide their Companies House personal code when their company’s next confirmation statement is filed.
🔸 PSCs must also verify, but their deadline may be different. Companies House shows the due date for each role on the public register.
🔸 If you’re a director of more than one company, you normally verify your identity only once, but you’ll need to use your personal code for each director appointment.
🔸 Missing the relevant deadline can result in financial penalties and other enforcement action, and a director who continues to act without complying may be committing an offence.

If you're not sure when your confirmation statement is due or how to get verified, get in touch with ApC Accountants today and we'll help you get it sorted in plenty of time.
