Manchester Business owners, are you constantly chasing your accountant for answers?

You shouldn’t have to chase for replies, get surprised by tax bills, or only hear from your accountant when a deadline is coming up.

You should be getting fast responses, proactive tax advice, regular support and an accountant who genuinely understands your business and where you want to take it.

That’s how we work at Edward Harris Chartered Accountants.

If you feel like you’re not getting enough from your current accountant, comment CHAT for a free consultation.

Manchester business owners, don’t wait until year-end to find out how your business is actually performing.

A lot of business owners only speak to their accountant once a year, when the accounts and tax return are due.

By then, it may be too late to fix poor cash flow, reduce an unexpected tax bill, or identify which parts of the business are losing money.

Every month, you should be checking at least three things:
Your profit, your cash position, and how much you need to put aside for tax.

Your year-end accounts tell you what has already happened.
Regular management information helps you decide what to do next.

Here are three tax mistakes I regularly see costing businesses unnecessary money.

Mistake one:
Mixing personal and business spending.
This creates messy bookkeeping and makes it harder to identify what the business can genuinely claim.

Mistake two:
Treating the bank balance as profit.
Some of that money may already belong to HMRC for VAT, corporation tax or PAYE.

Mistake three:
Waiting until the year-end to think about tax.
By then, many tax-planning opportunities have already been missed.

HMRC may be expecting money from you by 31 July 2026, and ignoring it could cost you interest.

The second Self Assessment payment on account is due by 31 July 2026.
This is the advance tax payment HMRC asks some people to make towards their next tax bill.
And if you miss the deadline, HMRC can charge interest.

You can login to your self assessment tax account to see what you owe and make the payment.

If you are unable to pay the balance in full then you can setup a payment plan.

If your income has reduced then you can apply to reduce the payment on account.

If you are unsure on how to do this then speak to your accountant.

Don’t lose money by incorrectly withdrawing from a Lifetime ISA!
A lot of people already have.

A Lifetime ISA can be a great way to save for your first home.
You can save up to £4,000 a year, and the government adds a 25% bonus.

But there are rules.

To use the money for your first home, the account must have been open for at least 12 months.
And if you withdraw the money for any reason other than buying your first home, after age 60, or if you’re terminally ill, you’ll usually pay a 25% withdrawal charge.

That charge doesn’t just take back the government bonus, it can also reduce some of your own savings.

The government has admitted that many people didn’t fully understand these rules.
In fact, more people have lost part of their savings through withdrawal charges than have successfully used a Lifetime ISA to buy their first home.
That’s why the government is now proposing a new First Time Buyers ISA.

Before opening any savings account, make sure you understand the conditions.
Knowing when you can access your money, and what happens if you can’t could save you from an expensive mistake later on.
