When was the last time you checked your software subscriptions? 🛑📊

Between annual price rises and changing tier structures across accounting software, it's easy to lose track of what you're paying each month.

As Making Tax Digital expands, every sole trader and landlord needs a digital setup but you should only pay for what brings actual value to your business.

Our quick software checklist:

1️⃣ Are you on a plan built for your current business size?

2️⃣ Are you utilising partner discounts through your accountant?

3️⃣ Is your setup fully MTD-compliant without unnecessary extras?

We work with all major HMRC-recognised software platforms and can advise you on the most budget friendly, effective choice for your setup.

At Chandler & Partners, we help business owners translate complex data into clear strategic choices. Whether that means re-evaluating your pricing structure, tightening cash flow or preparing for autumn investment, we're in your corner.

⏰ Deadline Alert: Your first MTD quarterly update is due on 7th August!

If you're a sole trader or landlord with a gross income over £50,000, Making Tax Digital for income tax became mandatory for you back in April.

That means your very first digital quarterly update (covering 6th April - 5th July) must be submitted to HMRC by 7th August 2026.

Quick checklist before the 7th:

✅ Are your digital records up to date in your software?

✅ Have all sales and allowable expenses for Q1 been reconciled?

✅ Is your software connected directly to HMRC?

Remember: This quarterly update is a simple summary of your income and expenses to keep HMRC updated, it doesn't mean paying your tax bill today!

If you’re feeling unsure about submitting your first update or running into software glitches, don't leave it to the last minute. Chandler & Partners can review and submit your quarterly return for you. Get in touch with our Worcester team today 🤝

Started working for yourself recently? Don't miss this crucial deadline! 📅⚠️

If you became self-employed, started a side hustle or became a landlord during the 2025/26 tax year, you need to register for Self-Assessment.

The statutory HMRC deadline to register as a first-time filer is 5th October 2026.

This applies to you if you:

🔹 Earned more than £1,000 from self-employment.

🔹 Received gross income from rental property over £2,500.

🔹 Need to declare untaxed income, such as capital gains or dividends.

Registering gives you your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR), which you must have before you can file your return. Don't leave it to the last minute, Chandler & Partners can handle the registration process and ensure your records are set up correctly from day one. Let’s get you registered 🤝
