The Autumn Budget has landed, and there’s lots of talk around it.

What matters for your business is in the detail. Who qualifies, who doesn’t, and when it all kicks in. If you want an accountant who’ll keep you on top of changes like these, get in touch and let’s see if we’re a good fit: blueleafaccounting.co.uk

For general information only, not personal tax advice. Measures are subject to legislation in the Finance Bill 2026–27.

VAT registration needs to take place once your sales are over £90,000 on a rolling 12 month basis.

This is a separate tax (in addition to the rest 🫠) and is monitored and reported separately to the others.

It is the business owner’s responsibility to notify HMCC once that threshold is crossed.

We have supported a number of clients with VAT registration and running their returns.

If you need some help with this, let us know.

The Autumn Budget is coming on 28 October, and there's already plenty of speculation about what it could mean for businesses. So, what should you actually be doing?

Wondering whether now's the right time to get an accountant? Find out how Blue Leaf Accounting can support your business: blueleafaccounting.co.uk

Don't panic-buy or rush decisions. Whether you're considering equipment, investments or changes to how you pay yourself, don't let speculation dictate your plans.

Keep your records up to date. Good bookkeeping makes it much easier to assess how any confirmed changes could affect you. Look beyond the headlines. An announcement doesn't necessarily mean an immediate change. The details, eligibility criteria and implementation dates all matter.

Ask questions. If something announced could affect your business, speak to your accountant before making significant financial decisions. The most useful thing you can do right now is stay informed, not alarmed.

At Blue Leaf Accounting, we're here to help you understand what any changes mean for your business and what, if anything, you need to do next.

Get in touch if you'd like to chat about your business.

There is no such thing as a silly question. If it’s something you don’t know about accounts, however small, ask it.

All this was new to us once too.

We can’t run a cafe, build a brick wall, groom a dog or know anything about PR. We play to our strengths and this one is ours 💪

The more you know, the better equipped you will be to run your business and the easier all our lives will be.

If you think of a question you want an answer to (that we can answer in 20 seconds 😅) send it in the DMs or email [email protected] and we will do our best to answer. We can’t get into specifics but general questions are great.

Borrowed money from your limited company? Read this. ⬇️

We've explained the rules, repayment deadlines and what to watch out for in our latest blog, 'Director’s Loan Accounts: Rules, Tax and Repayments for 2026/27' here: blueleafaccounting.co.uk/understanding-your-directors-loan-account

When you run your own limited company, it's easy to think of the money as your own. But your company is a separate legal entity, and director's loans come with rules worth understanding. Director's loans are a perfectly normal part of running a business. The important thing is knowing what you owe, keeping accurate records and understanding your options to avoid unexpected tax bills.

At Blue Leaf Accounting, we believe accounting shouldn't feel complicated or intimidating. We're a friendly, approachable team here to help you make sense of your numbers and feel more confident about your business finances.

“Do I need a separate bank account for my business?” 🤔💳

It’s a question we hear often! If fact I was asked this one just last week. There is a difference between limited companies and sole traders. But keeping things separate is a good idea. It makes tracking income, expenses and tax savings easier.

Save this for your next business admin day 🌿

From getting your Self Assessment records together and checking whether Making Tax Digital affects you, to reviewing your cash flow and making sure those big plans for next year are financially realistic, October is a good time to take stock before the Christmas chaos begins.

And if you're not sure where to start, or would rather have someone help you make sense of the numbers, that's exactly what we're here for. Get in touch:
At Blue Leaf Accounting we're friendly, approachable and here to help you plan ahead without the jargon or last-minute panic.

Mileage or actual vehicle costs? 🚐

It’s one of those questions where the answer really does depend on your business, how you use the vehicle and what the numbers look like.

This is a basic example and there is a bit more to it. Like who owes the van? Or is it a car? As those things make a difference. But this gives you a place to start.

If you’d like this kind of thing taken off your plate, take a look at our accounting packages and how we can support you and your business. Head to our website via the link in bio for more information.

Newly self-employed? There’s an important October deadline you need to know about.

If you started trading during the 2025/26 tax year, you may need to register for Self Assessment by 5 October 2026.

Looking for a friendly, local accountant? Find out more at blueleafaccounting.co.uk

And if you’ve heard the threshold is rising from £1,000 to £3,000, that change has been announced, but it’s not in force yet. For the 2025/26 tax year, the £1,000 threshold still applies.

We work with sole traders and limited companies in Leighton Buzzard and beyond. No jargon, no making things more complicated than they need to be, just straightforward advice and support when you need it.
