📢 ISA Rule Changes Ahead

HMRC has announced that from April 2027, interest earned on cash held within a Stocks & Shares ISA will be subject to a 22% tax charge.

This change is designed to encourage investment rather than holding large cash balances within investment ISAs.

If you hold significant cash within your Stocks & Shares ISA, now is a good time to review your savings and investment strategy.

New UK Summer VAT Rules for Days Out 2026

The UK Government has introduced a temporary VAT reduction from 20% to 5% on selected family leisure activities and children’s services as part of its “Great British Summer Savings” package. The measure applies from 25 June to 1 September 2026.

The reduced 5% VAT rate covers:

✅ Admission tickets to qualifying family attractions – including theme parks, zoos, museums, fairs, soft play centres and similar venues.
✅ Children’s cinema, theatre, concert and exhibition tickets.
✅ Children’s meals eaten on restaurant or café premises, where the meal is clearly marketed and sold as a children’s menu item.

Important exclusions include:

❌ Takeaway children’s meals – these do not qualify.
❌ Standard adult meals and tickets generally remain at normal VAT treatment unless sold as part of a qualifying family package or eligible attraction admission.

The policy is intended to reduce the cost of family days out during the summer holidays and support the hospitality, leisure and visitor sectors.

If your businesses is offering qualifying services you may need to update pricing, tills, invoicing and VAT accounting systems during the temporary period.

🚗 HMRC Mileage Rate Increase to 55p per Mile

HMRC has announced an increase to the approved business mileage rate for cars and vans — rising from 45p to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles.

✅ Effective from 6 April 2026
✅ Applies to business travel only
✅ A welcome boost for employees and the self-employed using their own vehicle for work

If you’re unsure how the new rates affect your business, payroll, or tax return, our team is happy to help.

Most limited company directors won't be aware of this change, but it's coming on your 2025/26 Self Assessment return.

Effective from 6th April 2025, if you're a director and shareholder of a close company, there are new reporting requirements.

You'll now need to disclose in the employment pages

1️⃣ The company name and registration number
2️⃣ Dividends received from that company
3️⃣ Your highest shareholding during the year

This is not a change to how you're taxed — it's a reporting change brought in through new Income Tax regulations.

The driver behind it is transparency.
HMRC is looking to better connect individuals to the companies they control and the income they receive.

There is also a £60 penalty for missing or incorrect information, so it's worth making sure this is picked up correctly.

If you run a small limited company, this is one to be aware of ahead of your tax return submission.
These are new rules this year, so if you're unsure, speak to one of our accountants.
