New tax year, same old mistakes costing you money

Every new tax year, we see the same slip-ups land on our desks, and they're avoidable.

Missing the self-assessment deadline because receipts and expenses weren't logged as you went. Claiming the wrong expenses, or worse, missing ones you're entitled to. CIS contractors not getting deductions logged correctly with HMRC, which causes headaches later.

With the 2026/27 tax year now underway, now's the time to sort your bookkeeping before it piles up. Get your VAT, payroll, and records in order early and you'll avoid the scramble next January.

Which of these has caught your business out before?

We work with businesses across the UK, from construction contractors needing CIS handled properly to self-employed professionals wanting their returns filed without the stress.

National Insurance in 2026/27: what employers pay

Payroll costs don't sit still, and 2026/27 is no exception for UK employers.

If you're running payroll yourself, National Insurance changes are one of those things that's easy to miss until HMRC flags it after the fact. Getting the figures wrong affects your staff's pay and your own compliance record.

This is exactly the kind of thing that eats into time you could spend running your business.

We handle payroll for employers across the UK, covering all the calculations, auto-enrolment duties, and HMRC procedures so nothing slips through.

Have you checked your payroll setup is ready for the new tax year?

Dividends in 2026/27: plan the tax now

The tax-free dividend allowance sits at £500 for 2026/27, so most limited company directors will pay tax on dividends from the first pound above that.

If you're taking a mix of salary and dividends, now's the time to check the split still makes sense for the new tax year.

A few things worth reviewing before you draw anything:

What rate band your dividends will fall into once salary is accounted for
Whether your company profits comfortably support the dividend you're planning
How much you're setting aside for the tax bill that follows

Directors across the UK come to us once the self-assessment deadline is looming and wish they'd planned the split earlier. Have you worked out what your dividend tax bill will actually look like this year?

Corporation tax 2026/27: are your accounts ready?

Company accounts and tax returns aren't something most business owners have the time (or the training) to get right on their own, and HMRC doesn't accept "I didn't know" as an excuse for late or incorrect filing.

The 2026/27 tax year is already underway, which means now's the time to check your record keeping is up to date, not next April when deadlines are looming.

Bookkeeping done properly all year round makes your annual accounts far less painful when the time comes.

If you're a contractor or sub-contractor, CIS deductions need to be logged correctly with HMRC too, alongside your normal payroll and VAT obligations.

We handle all of it for UK limited companies, from routine bookkeeping through to filing your annual accounts and tax returns, so you can get back to running the business.

Have you got a system in place for your 2026/27 accounts yet, or is it still sitting in a shoebox somewhere? 📋

VAT threshold 2026/27: are you close to £90k?

If your turnover is creeping towards £90,000, you need to be watching the calendar, not just the total.

VAT registration isn't optional once you cross that line. HMRC expects you to register within 30 days of the end of the month you went over the threshold, and missing that window can mean penalties on top of the VAT you already owe.

It catches out plenty of business owners who only check their books once a quarter.

A few things worth knowing for the 2026/27 tax year:

The threshold applies to your rolling 12-month turnover, not your tax year or financial year.
Once registered, you'll need to charge VAT, file returns, and keep digital records under Making Tax Digital.
You can register voluntarily before hitting the threshold if it suits your business, for example if you want to reclaim VAT on purchases.

We handle VAT registration and returns for businesses across the UK, so the calculations and deadlines are off your plate. Have you checked your rolling turnover this month?

New tax year, same deadlines to dodge

The 2026/27 tax year starts on 6 April, and payroll mistakes in the first few weeks are the ones that cost most.

New tax codes need applying from day one. Student loan thresholds change. National Insurance and auto-enrolment figures get updated too, and missing any of it means correcting payslips later, which is far more hassle than getting it right first time.

If you employ staff anywhere in the UK, a few things are worth diarising now:

P60s must reach employees by 31 May 2026, for the 2025/26 year just ending
New starter checklists and tax codes need sorting before the first April payroll run
P11Ds (if you're reporting benefits) are due by 6 July 2026

We handle payroll for employers across the UK, so none of this lands on you at the last minute. Which of these dates is already on your calendar, and which one's caught you out before?

New tax year, new admin to stay on top of

The 2026/27 tax year is here, and payroll, VAT, and CIS deadlines don't pause while you're busy running your business.

Auto-enrolment compliance still needs checking every pay run. Missing a threshold update or filing late with HMRC can mean penalties that were entirely avoidable.

If you're a contractor or sub-contractor, CIS deductions need to be logged correctly from day one of the new tax year, not fixed retrospectively in month ten.

And if self-assessment feels like a January problem, it isn't. Sorting expenses and reliefs now, rather than scrambling before the deadline, usually means a smaller bill and a lot less stress.

We handle bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, CIS, and self-assessment for businesses across the UK, so you can get back to the parts of the job you actually enjoy.

What's the one piece of admin that always ends up at the bottom of your list?

2026/27 tax return: same deadlines, no excuses

The 2026/27 tax year is already running, and Self Assessment habits are worth sorting now rather than in January.

The rules haven't changed shape: register by 5 October if you're newly self-employed, file online by 31 January, and pay what you owe by the same date. Payments on account still apply if your bill was over £1,000 last year.

What catches people out is expenses and reliefs they didn't know they could claim. Mileage, home office costs, and certain equipment can all reduce your bill, but only if they're logged properly through the year, not guessed at in December.

Contractors and sub-contractors under CIS have their own layer on top of this, and mixing up CIS deductions with your Self Assessment figures is one of the most common errors we see.

We handle this for clients right across the UK, not just here in Lanarkshire and Ayrshire.

Feeling very grateful for how life can come full circle. ♾️

We are still learning every day, but one thing I know for sure is that none of us gets anywhere alone. Infinity Accountancy is growing because of the support, recommendations and kindness of so many good people—and we will never take that for granted.

There’s room for us all to do well, and sometimes the nicest opportunities come from the most unexpected places.

Grateful for everyone who has supported us along the way, and excited for what’s still to come. ❤️

Making Tax Digital: is your 2026/27 sorted?

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is now live, and if you're self-employed or a landlord with income over £50,000, you should already be keeping digital records and sending quarterly updates to HMRC.

That's four submissions a year instead of one, plus a final declaration. Miss a deadline and penalty points start stacking up.

The rules widen further for the 2027/28 tax year, pulling in anyone earning over £30,000. Worth checking now which bracket you'll fall into.

Paper records and a spreadsheet at year-end won't cut it under the new system. You need compatible software linked directly to HMRC.

We handle self assessment and digital record keeping for clients across the UK, so this transition doesn't land on your desk as extra admin. Are you confident your current setup meets the quarterly reporting requirement?
