Anyone else very ready for the kids to go back to school? 🙋‍♀️

I’ve come to the lovely office today to focus and also hide under a desk for a little bit. Maybe rock a little in a corner.

Could your limited company be paying for more than you think?

From your mobile phone to mileage, homeworking costs and even the occasional £50 treat, there are some legitimate expenses and benefits that business owners can easily overlook.

For the full list of 12, read our latest blog: blueleafaccounting.co.uk/limited-company-expenses

A few that might surprise you:

• A £50 treat – qualifying trivial benefits can cost up to £50 each, subject to the rules and a £300 annual cap for directors of close companies.
• Your mobile phone – one company-provided phone or SIM can qualify, provided the contract is in the company's name.
• Paying your children – yes, for genuine work, with reasonable pay and provided the relevant child-employment rules are followed.
• Dinner and drinks – a qualifying annual company event can be exempt up to £150 per head.
• Using your own car for work – qualifying business mileage can be reimbursed at 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles in 2026/27.
• Working from home – your company can potentially contribute towards qualifying additional household costs.
• A new laptop or monitor – your company can provide equipment you genuinely need to do your job, subject to the rules.

And there are five more in the full guide. Read all 12 here: blueleafaccounting.co.uk/limited-company-expenses

This is general information and isn't a substitute for personalised advice. Rules and eligibility criteria apply and tax treatment depends on individual circumstances. Based on UK tax rules and HMRC guidance for 2026/27.

With another heatwave in full swing 🥵 and plenty of people away, August can bring a slightly slower pace. Sometimes that extra breathing space is a good opportunity to reassess what’s working in your business and where you might need a little more support.

At Blue Leaf, we work with limited companies and sole traders, taking the time to understand your business and offering clear, straightforward support with accounts, tax and payroll.

Because good accountancy isn’t just about keeping on top of the numbers. It’s about helping you make better decisions for your business.

Are you claiming everything you're entitled to?
Many sole traders remember the obvious business expenses but overlook some of the smaller costs that can add up over the year.

Here are six business expenses that are often forgotten:
1️⃣ Business insurance
2️⃣ Website and marketing costs�
3️⃣ Software subscriptions�
4️⃣ Bank charges and payment processing fees�
5️⃣ Business training that helps maintain or improve your existing skills�
6️⃣ Co-working space memberships, day passes and meeting room hire

Every business is different, so it's important to check what's allowable for your circumstances. A good accountant won't just help you avoid claiming something you shouldn't, they'll also make sure you're not missing out on expenses you're entitled to claim.
If you'd like friendly, straightforward advice tailored to your business, the team at Blueleaf Accounting is always happy to help. blueleafaccounting.co.uk

Can my business pay for my holiday? What about if I read a business book by the pool for research? Valid question. But, sadly, not possible. When can your business pay? If you go on a business trip and tag on a few days, then we can look at claiming a % of the total cost. If you are only off on a business trip then the business can claim the whole thing.

If your VAT payment deadline falls on a weekend, it doesn't automatically move to Monday. It's an easy assumption to make because plenty of other deadlines do work like that.

If your payment is due on the 7th, HMRC still expects it by the 7th, so it's worth planning ahead if you're paying by bank transfer or another method that isn't instant.

If you're unsure about a deadline, or just want someone to sense-check things before they become a problem, head to the link in our bio and get in touch with the team at Blueleaf. We're here to make accounting make sense, without the jargon.

One for limited company directors.
Trivial benefits can be taken at any point in the tax year. It’s a good idea to space them out over the year. Remember, they can’t be cash, need to be vouchers and to a limit of £50 each. You can buy these at different businesses, so a mix of something like M&S for Christmas lunch and a local toy shop for Christmas shopping.
Put them in the diary now and enjoy the benefit of having some vouchers to put towards Christmas in 6 months.
