🧾 Self Assessment – Don’t Leave It Until January!

It might feel like January is a long way off, but if you need to complete a Self Assessment tax return for the 2025/26 tax year, you can already get started.

The online deadline is 31 January 2027, but there are plenty of reasons to get your return sorted early:

✔️ Know how much tax you owe
✔️ Have more time to budget for your tax bill
✔️ Avoid the last-minute January rush
✔️ Give yourself time to check everything is correct
✔️ Find out sooner if you’re due a refund

📌 It’s never too early to get organised!

If you need help preparing and submitting your Self Assessment tax return, the team at Ashdown Hurrey would be happy to help.

HMRC is currently carrying out its annual reconciliation of PAYE for the 2025–26 tax year.

Between June and November, HMRC checks how much Income Tax you have paid against how much you should have paid. If they identify a difference, you may receive a P800 tax calculation.

A P800 could show that you have:
✔️ Paid too much tax and are due a refund
✔️ Paid too little tax and have some additional tax to pay

📩 If you receive a P800 and aren’t sure what it means, the team at Ashdown Hurrey would be happy to help.

🌟 Attention Sole Traders & Landlords – New Tax Rules Alert! 🌟

📲 From 6 April 2026, HMRC introduces Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD for ITSA).

If your combined gross income from self-employment and property exceeds £50,000, you must:

✔️Keep your income and expense records digitally using HMRC-approved software (or bridging tools with spreadsheets)
✔️Send quarterly updates to HMRC
✔️Submit a final year-end declaration by 31 January (instead of the traditional annual tax return)

⚠ Important: These rules do not apply to Partnerships yet- only to individuals (sole traders and landlords).

What’s changing – and when?
Tax Year Starting Minimum Gross Income for MTD
6 April 2026- Over £50,000
6 April 2027- Over £30,000
6 April 2028-Over £20,000
(These apply to total gross income, so combine all self-employment and property sources.)

Not sure if it applies to you?
Even if you haven’t heard from HMRC yet, you may still need to sign up. Prepare now to avoid penalties!

Need help getting set up? As your trusted accountants, we’re ready to help you choose the right software and guide you through digital record-keeping. Contact us today! 📞

🏡 What Is a Deed of Variation?

Losing someone is never easy, and sometimes, once an estate is being dealt with, families may feel that the way an inheritance is being distributed no longer reflects their circumstances or what their loved one may have wanted.

A Deed of Variation can give beneficiaries the opportunity to change how inherited assets are distributed. In some circumstances, it may also help to reduce the amount of tax payable.

It’s important to remember that anyone whose inheritance would be reduced as a result of the changes must agree to the variation.

Every family’s circumstances are different, so taking professional advice can help you understand the options available and make an informed decision at what can be a difficult time.

📩 If you need advice on the potential tax implications of an estate or Deed of Variation, the team at Ashdown Hurrey are here to help.

Cash basis accounting is a simplified way of recording income and expenses for sole traders and other eligible unincorporated businesses.

Instead of recording income and expenses when invoices are issued or received, you generally record them when money is actually received or paid.

This can make keeping financial records and completing your Self Assessment simpler, particularly for smaller businesses.

Not sure whether cash basis accounting is right for your business? The team at Ashdown Hurrey would be happy to help.

If your circumstances change and you become liable to pay a tax or register for a tax, it’s important to let HMRC know within the relevant time limit.

Keeping HMRC up to date helps ensure you’re paying the right amount of tax and can help avoid unnecessary penalties or interest.

If you realise you should have notified HMRC but haven’t done so yet, don’t panic - taking action and getting the right advice can help you understand what needs to be done.

If you’re unsure about your tax obligations, the team at Ashdown Hurrey would be happy to help 😊

Did you know eligible employers can reduce their National Insurance costs by up to £10,500 a year through the Employment Allowance.

The allowance reduces an employer’s Class 1 National Insurance liability and is applied through payroll once a valid claim has been made.

If you employ staff, it’s worth checking whether your business is eligible - you could be missing out on a valuable saving.

Not sure if you qualify? The team at Ashdown Hurrey would be happy to help.

On Friday night, we stepped away from the spreadsheets and took our competitive streak onto the golf course for our annual Ashdown Hurrey golf event! ⛳

A treasured tradition we all look forward to, this year’s event brought together 45 staff, family members and friends for a brilliant evening of friendly competition.

The scores certainly added up for joint winners Callum and Paul Histed, who both achieved a fantastic top score of 36! Paul’s efforts also helped Rest of the World (1), made up of family and friends, secure the team victory.

After the final scores had been counted and verified, everyone enjoyed a well-earned meal together.

Thank you to everyone who took part, we’re already looking forward to next year’s rematch! 🏆
