Did you know that HMRC has the power to 'name and shame' individuals and businesses that have deliberately underpaid tax and failed to make a full disclosure? While financial penalties remain the primary sanction for non-compliance, public disclosure is intended to act as a powerful deterrent by introducing reputational consequences alongside monetary costs.

🎂 YesTax turns 7! 🎂

Sunday this week marks YesTax's 7th birthday. In this time, YesTax has grown from an ambitious start-up to earning industry recognition with honours such as Tolley’s Best New Tax Practice and Accounting Excellence New Firm of the Year. A defining milestone came in October 2022, when YesTax transitioned to an Employee Ownership via an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), placing its people at the heart of the business and protecting the culture, independence and long-term vision that set it apart. Alongside this success, YesTax has remained deeply committed to being a force for good, donating 2.5% of its turnover to children’s charities. Since the company's formation, YesTax has contributed over £400,000 to UK and overseas children's charities.

Here's to another 7 years! Happy Birthday YesTax!
