Glynn Cardall and Carole Cardall!

Glynn and Carole are retired business owners and wanted to share their storyโ€ฆwe hear from Glynnโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ‘‰ Business - Previous owners of the Boy and Barrel in Selby

โญSlogan - We had several slogans but I think our best one was โ€˜Come to the bar and buy a drink, then come back and buy anotherโ€™

๐Ÿ“– My story - Originally, we lived in Wakefield but moved to Selby when the coal mines opened. When I got made redundant from the NCB both Carole and I decided to take on the Boy and Barrel as an ongoing business. Our business plan was to try squeeze ยฃ10 out of each person who came in per day.

๐Ÿ†Biggest achievement - We had a couple of big achievements such as forming a menโ€™s and womenโ€™s darts and domino nights and also football teams. But Iโ€™d have to say our biggest was forming a community.

โŒBiggest error - When we made one room into a function room to make money for all the children in the area to get a coach and go for days out. However, our 1st function was an 18th birthday party which we didnโ€™t take a deposit for and no one showed up leaving us with multiple staff I had to pay for doing no work that night.

๐ŸคBest business advice - Always take a deposit!

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธHobbies - We like walking the dog and looking after our grand-daughters. Carole also likes to read and I football referee most weekends.

๐ŸŽ‚Food - Being from Yorkshire weโ€™d both have to say fish and chips with mushy peas.

Think selling a buy-to-let, inherited property or land is tax-free? If you make a gain when you sell it, Capital Gains Tax usually applies.

Miss the 60 day reporting and payment deadline and you risk penalties and unnecessary interest charges.

CFA Tax helps you get it right:

- working out your taxable gain accurately
- identifying reliefs such as Private Residence or business asset relief
- meeting your 60 day reporting deadline

Selling property soon? Get in touch before you list it.

๐Ÿ’ท Where is your tax money?

A little reminder:

The money sitting in your business bank account isnโ€™t necessarily your money.

Some of it belongs to HMRC.

Some belongs to suppliers.

Some needs to stay in the business.

And yesโ€ฆ some is yours. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Knowing which is which = less panic later.

Mortgage interest still feels like a straightforward expense? The rules changed a while back.

For most individual landlords, mortgage interest is no longer deducted directly from rental income. Instead, it's accounted for as a tax credit, which changes how profit is calculated and reported each year.

Overlook this and rental profit figures can be overstated, tax bills miscalculated, or self-assessment returns filled in using outdated methods.

CFA Tax helps property landlords keep rental income, expenses, and mortgage interest recorded correctly, ready for accurate self-assessment reporting.

Managing a rental property and want your figures kept straight? Get in touch.

๐Ÿ’ญ Would you spend ยฃ100 to save yourself 5 hours?

Most business owners would probably say yes.

But then we do this:

โ€œยฃ100?! I could do that myself.โ€

So you spend 5 hours doing it.

And then complain you havenโ€™t got enough time. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Your time has a value too.

The question isnโ€™t always:

โ€œCan I do this myself?โ€

Itโ€™s:

โ€œShould I be doing this myself?โ€

That little change in question can completely change the way you run a business.

Your weekly update from CFA Tax๐Ÿ’ก
Over a fifth of working-age Britons are jobless, often due to ill-health. Reports from Sir Charlie Mayfield and Everywhen ๐Ÿ“‰ reveal poor communication, rocketing sick notes and soaring welfare costs. Early contact, flexible working and rehabilitation could help firms retain staff. Should employers be doing more to keep sick workers connected? Leave a comment below.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday! ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŽ‚

I had a lovely dayโ€ฆ although I am officially another year older, Iโ€™m refusing to believe it! ๐Ÿ˜‚

And yes, you can keep saying Happy Birthday for the next month because I LOVE celebrating! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿคฃ

It did get me thinking thoughโ€ฆ

Why not make your staff smile on their birthday too?

๐ŸŽ‚ A little gift
โ˜• Coffee & cake
๐ŸŽ Flowers or chocolates
๐ŸŒŸ An extra day off
๐ŸŽ„ Or even a Christmas shopping day!

Some small staff gifts can be tax-free if they meet HMRCโ€™s rules, so itโ€™s worth knowing what you can do.

Sometimes itโ€™s the little things that make people feel appreciated. ๐Ÿ’œ

And if youโ€™re not sure about the tax treatmentโ€ฆ ask your accountant before you buy it! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Think the Flat Rate Scheme cuts VAT admin? It sets a fixed rate you pay HMRC, but you usually cannot reclaim VAT on your purchases.

Misjudging your rate or turnover limits could mean overpaying VAT or falling foul of scheme rules.

CFA Tax helps you use the scheme correctly:

- checking your turnover stays within the scheme limits
- identifying your correct flat rate, including limited cost business status
- managing your application and any exit requirements

Unsure if the Flat Rate Scheme suits your business? Get in touch with CFA Tax today. ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿ’ทโœ…๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿค
