Thinking about selling an asset? Many people are surprised to learn that Capital Gains Tax is applied to the profit from the sale, not just the total amount received.

For instance, if you bought a painting for £5,000 and sold it for £25,000, you owe tax on the £20,000 gain. Not all assets incur this tax, as certain allowances apply.

Failing to understand this can lead to unexpected tax bills and penalties.

Here's how Barter Durgan can assist you:

- Breakdown of which assets are taxable
- Guidance on allowable exemptions and reliefs
- Help with accurate gain calculations
- Support with reporting and deadlines

UK job vacancies dropped to 707,000, the lowest since 2014, excluding the pandemic period, reflecting caution among smaller firms. Unemployment remains steady at 4.9%, with uneven wage growth across sectors. The outlook suggests a subdued labour market with softening demand for workers. 📉 How might these trends affect your sector?

Are you selling an asset and unsure about Capital Gains Tax? Many people think they only owe tax on the money they receive, but it’s actually on the profit made—known as the gain.

For example, if you bought a painting for £5,000 and sold it for £25,000, you’d owe tax on the £20,000 gain. Not all assets incur this tax, as there are tax-free allowances.

Ignoring these rules can lead to unexpected tax bills and penalties.

Here’s how Barter Durgan can help:

- Clarify what qualifies as a chargeable asset
- Assist in calculating your gains accurately
- Guide you on available tax reliefs and exemptions
- Help you keep track of necessary records and deadlines

Are you confused about your Self Assessment tax return and what to expect? Many people think it's just a simple form, but there's more to it!

When you file your Self Assessment, you'll receive a Self Assessment statement and a tax calculation (SA302). The statement summarises what you owe, while the tax calculation details your total tax for the year.

Missing the payment deadline of 31 January can lead to penalties and unnecessary stress.

Here’s how Barter Durgan can assist you:

- Help you understand your Self Assessment statement and tax calculation
- Ensure timely payments to avoid penalties
- Provide guidance on payments on account
- Assist you if you're facing difficulties paying your tax bill

Need clarity on your Self Assessment? Contact Barter Durgan today for expert support! 📞✨

Are you unsure if you need to use Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax? Many believe it only applies to large businesses, but that's not true for sole traders and landlords.

If you’re self-employed or earning income from properties and your income exceeded the relevant threshold—like £50,000 for the 2024 to 2025 tax year—you should already be registered for MTD, which became mandatory from 6 April 2026.

Ignoring this requirement could result in penalties from HMRC and complications with your tax returns.

Here’s how Barter Durgan can assist you:

- Confirm whether you should already be using MTD for Income Tax
- Help you understand your qualifying income
- Guide you through the sign-up process if you haven't already
- Provide support in selecting the right software

Don’t risk falling further behind! Contact Barter Durgan today for expert guidance on MTD and ensure your compliance! 📞✨
