Selling to customers in different European countries can create additional VAT considerations.

For businesses involved in cross-border e-commerce, schemes such as IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) can be relevant to certain low-value imported goods.

[Cloud 9 Accounting Team Ltd @c9b_fife]

If your business imports certain goods into the UK, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is something to put on your radar.

HMRC says additional guidance is being developed, with webinars planned for October 2026.

📌 Cash flow tells you what money is coming in, what is going out and when.

A simple cash-flow forecast can help you avoid making decisions based on money that is already committed.

Do you know how much of your current bank balance is genuinely available to spend?

If MTD applies to you, you'll need to:

• Keep digital records
• Use compatible software
• Send quarterly updates
• Complete your tax return
• Keep track of your tax payments

📌 Don't wait for an HMRC reminder before checking whether MTD applies to you.
