Small gift for staff? It can be tax free if it costs £50 or less, isn't cash or a cash voucher, and isn't a reward for work. Directors of close companies: £300 cap a year. #TrivialBenefits

Budget update: nothing changes today, but from April 2027 the trading allowance rises from £1,000 to £3,000 and property income is taxed at 24%, 44% and 49%. Plan ahead, no need to rush. #Budget

Weekend question: what would you tell your first year self about running a business? Share your lesson below. #SmallBusinessUK

Self-Assessment checklist: 1) gather your records, 2) know your dates (30 Dec for tax code, 31 Jan 2027 for filing and paying), 3) file early and plan the payment. New video. #SelfAssessment

[Affinity Associates Isaacs & Co @IsaacsAndCo]

Myth: “Can't pay, so I won't file.” Filing and paying are separate, and each has its own penalties. File on time and talk to HMRC early about a payment plan. Deadline: 31 Jan 2027. #SelfAssessment

“Very professional with a great work ethic.” Thank you to our client for the kind review. ⭐ #ClientReview

[Affinity Associates Isaacs & Co @IsaacsAndCo]

Self employed? Before you claim an expense, ask: is it a business cost? Mixed use means claim the business part only. Money you take for yourself is not an expense. Keep the receipt. #SoleTrader

[Affinity Associates Isaacs & Co @IsaacsAndCo]

Missed the 31 Oct paper tax return deadline? If you hadn't sent one, you can usually avoid the penalty by filing online by 31 Jan 2027. Don't send a late paper return. #SelfAssessment

Halloween question: what is the scariest part of running a business? Tax, cash flow, hiring, pricing? Tell us below. #SmallBusinessUK

[Affinity Associates Isaacs & Co @IsaacsAndCo]

Treating your team at Christmas? Staff party: open to all, annual, £150 or less per head. Small gifts: £50 or less, not cash. Keep the two separate. New video. #ChristmasParty

[Affinity Associates Isaacs & Co @IsaacsAndCo]

Myth: “Any gift under £50 is tax free.” Not always. It can't be cash or a cash voucher, a reward for work, or part of a contract. Directors of close companies: £300 a year cap. #TaxMyths

“You will always feel well looked after and confident that you’re in safe hands.” Thank you to our client for the kind words. ⭐ #ClientReview

[Affinity Associates Isaacs & Co @IsaacsAndCo]

Staff Christmas party? It can be tax free if it is open to all staff, held annually, and costs £150 or less per head. Check before you book, not after. #ChristmasParty

[Affinity Associates Isaacs & Co @IsaacsAndCo]

Budget day is next Wednesday. Three things to do now: don't act on headlines, get your Self Assessment done early (filing early does not mean paying early), and plan before 5 April. New video. #Budget
