💷 Profitable on paper, struggling at the bank?

Late payments remain one of the biggest frustrations facing smaller businesses.

Recent figures show that payment times among large businesses are improving, but 15% of their invoices were still paid late during 2025.

For a small business, a delayed invoice can mean difficulty paying suppliers, wages, VAT or personal tax, even when the order book appears healthy.

This is why management information matters.

Up-to-date bookkeeping and sensible business advice can help you:

• See when cash shortages may arise
• Understand which customers regularly pay late
• Set aside money for tax and VAT
• Review payment terms and invoicing processes
• Make decisions based on cash flow as well as profit

A healthy sales figure is encouraging. A business that consistently turns those sales into available cash is considerably stronger.

Web Teesdale Accountants can help you understand the numbers behind your business and plan with greater confidence.

📊 Your turnover is not the same as your take-home pay.

It sounds obvious, but when sales are growing and money is moving through the bank, it can be surprisingly difficult to see what genuinely belongs to the business.

VAT, personal tax, supplier costs and future commitments all need to be understood and accounted for.

The current VAT registration threshold is £90,000 of taxable turnover, calculated over a rolling 12-month period. Meanwhile, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is already changing how affected sole traders and landlords keep records and report to HMRC.

Good bookkeeping is no longer something to tidy up once a year. It gives you the information needed to:

• Understand what you can safely spend
• Prepare for VAT and personal tax
• Monitor profitability
• Identify cash-flow pressure
• Make better business decisions

The figures should help you run your business, not simply tell you what happened several months ago.

Need greater clarity around your accounts, bookkeeping, VAT or personal tax? Speak to Web Teasdale Accountants.

📊 Making Tax Digital has officially reached its first major milestone.

More than 436,000 sole traders and landlords have now submitted their first quarterly update for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

If your qualifying income from self-employment and property is above £50,000, MTD has been a legal requirement since April 2026.

Missed the first quarterly deadline? Do not ignore it.

HMRC has confirmed that no penalty points will be issued for late quarterly updates during this first year. However, penalties can still apply to late tax returns and tax payments.

From September, HMRC will begin signing up those who should already be using the system but have not yet registered.

The sensible move is to take control now, check that your details are correct and make sure your software and records are working properly before the next deadline arrives.

Is your paperwork quietly plotting against you? 📑

When invoices, receipts and financial admin start piling up, it becomes harder to see how your business is really performing.

🌘 The sun may be temporarily obscured this evening—but your business finances shouldn’t be.

Clear figures make it much easier to see what’s coming, plan ahead and make confident decisions. If cashflow, costs or tax deadlines currently feel as
mysterious as the cosmos, we can help bring everything back into view.

Happy eclipse day—and remember, ordinary sunglasses aren’t enough for safe viewing.

The temperature isn’t the only thing rising—the pressure on businesses to keep accurate digital records is increasing too.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is now in force for sole traders and landlords with qualifying annual income over £50,000. That means compatible software, digital records and quarterly updates to HMRC.

It may be a political policy, but the practical work lands firmly on the desks of business owners.

If you’re unsure whether the rules apply to you—or whether your current bookkeeping is ready—now is the time to ask. Sorting it early is considerably less stressful than discovering a problem when a deadline is already breathing down your neck.

Talk to the team at Webb Teasdale Accountancy for clear, practical guidance.
