Do you provide employee benefits? Are you keeping the right records?

Company cars, fuel allowances, private medical insurance and other employee benefits can come with additional tax reporting responsibilities.

If your business provides taxable benefits, it's important to make sure you're keeping accurate records throughout the year, not just when the P11D deadline approaches!

✅ Do you know which employee benefits need reporting?

✅ Are changes to company vehicles and medical cover being recorded?

✅ Is someone responsible for keeping your benefits information up to date?

✅ Are your payroll and bookkeeping records aligned?

Getting organised now can save time, stress and potential errors later. This is changing from April and Benifits will need to be reported with the Payroll!

At SKY Bookkeeping, we can help businesses understand their employee benefit reporting responsibilities and keep their records organised.

Trading allowance from April 2027 will be £3k - which means you will be able to earn £57 a week (in sales) from a side hussle, or small business without having to register. You will still need to keep records, and we still advise a seperate bank account for transparency. It also means if you are a sole trader and minimal receipts it means you can claim a blanket £3k expense!

What a long 24hrs! Our daughter hasnt been well, and between Kane, I, the Chemist, UTC and the hospital we now have some meds and Yas is on the mend, she is home and resting, thankyou for everyones well wishes. As it was a lot of waiting we have managed to get some work done as the WiFi was surprisingly generous! So grateful for the NHS!

Any emails that went today were scheduled from yesterday in between dr, nurse and consultant visits for my youngest. I will reply as soon as I can but obviously she takes a priority.
Back to the hospital today for more blood tests and hopefully some results with a treatment plan.

Investing in our knowledge means investing in our clients!

Yesterday, I attended a Xero event as part of my ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

As a bookkeeper, it's important to keep learning, developing and staying up to date with the software, technology and processes we use every day.

But CPD isn't just about ticking a box or completing training hours.

It's about making sure we're continually improving the service we provide to our clients.

>Keeping up with changes in accounting software
>Learning new ways to make bookkeeping more efficient
>Improving our knowledge and professional skills
>Discovering tools and processes that can save our clients time
>Making sure we're providing the best possible support as businesses grow

At SKY Bookkeeping, we believe professional development is an essential part of providing a reliable, knowledgeable and forward-thinking service.

Because when we improve our knowledge, our clients benefit too. 💙
