New month, same deadline creeping closer. The tax return you keep putting off won’t file itself.

It’s November, and the Self Assessment deadline for the 2025/26 tax year is 31 January 2027, under three months away. The return that felt distant in October is now close enough to start costing sleep. Every week of delay leaves less room to find missing records, answer questions, and plan how to pay.

Putting it off has a cost beyond stress. Late filing means a £100 penalty straight away, even if you owe nothing, and daily penalties and interest build from there. Most people who miss the deadline didn’t decide to. They just kept meaning to start.

How to stop putting it off:

🔵 Book a date to hand over your records
🔵 Gather income, bank, and expense records
🔵 Flag anything missing early
🔵 Let us prepare and check the return
🔵 Approve it and know your bill

If you owe under £3,000, filing online by 30 December can also spread payment through your tax code instead of one lump sum in January.

At ABM Chartered Accountants, we collect your records, prepare your return, and file it with HMRC, then tell you exactly what is due and when. You approve it, and we do the rest. Regulated by ICAEW and ACCA.

Beat the January rush. We’ll get your return sorted now, calmly.

The Self Assessment deadline for the 2025/26 tax year is 31 January 2027, and for many people January is the worst possible month to deal with it. HMRC helplines are at their busiest, accountants are at full stretch, and missing records turn a simple return into a scramble. Sorting it in November means a quieter process, a clearer picture, and a bill you know about months ahead.

Filing early doesn’t mean paying early. Your tax is still due on 31 January, but you can plan the payment calmly instead of discovering the figure in the final week.

What an early return gives you:

🔵 Your tax bill known months ahead
🔵 Time to find missing records
🔵 No last-fortnight panic
🔵 Space to plan payments on account
🔵 Easy fixes if HMRC raises a query

If you owe under £3,000, filing online by 30 December can also spread payment through your tax code instead of one lump sum in January.

At ABM Chartered Accountants, we collect your records, prepare your return, and file it with HMRC, then tell you exactly what is due and when. You approve it, and we do the rest. Regulated by ICAEW and ACCA.

Paper deadline is tomorrow. After that, online is your only option.

If you still file a paper Self Assessment return, it must reach HMRC by Saturday 31 October. Miss it and a £100 late filing penalty applies, even if you owe no tax. A paper return posted today is a gamble, and a rushed return is rarely a correct one.

The good news is that you don’t have to file on paper at all. Online returns aren’t due until 31 January 2027, so switching gives you three more months to get the figures right.

What switching online gives you:

🔵 Three extra months to file
🔵 Instant HMRC confirmation
🔵 Tax calculated as you go
🔵 No lost or late post
🔵 Easy amendments and faster refunds

If you owe under £3,000, filing online by 30 December can also spread payment through your tax code instead of one lump sum in January.

At ABM Chartered Accountants, we handle the switch, prepare your return, and file it with HMRC for you. You approve it, and we do the rest. Regulated by ICAEW and ACCA.

Hand us your paperwork this week. We’ll have your return done before December.

The Self Assessment deadline is 31 January 2027, but the best time to hand over your records is now. Return preparation takes longer than most people expect. Missing documents surface, figures need checking, and questions need answers, and every delay pushes the work closer to the January rush, when HMRC helplines are busiest and everyone is filing at once.

Hand over your records this week and the return is finished before December. You know your bill early, have time to plan the payment, and nothing is left to the last fortnight.

What to send us:

🔵 Income records and invoices
🔵 Bank and card statements
🔵 Expense receipts
🔵 Rental income and costs
🔵 Pension, dividend, and interest statements

A messy pile is fine. We sort it, find the gaps, and tell you exactly what is missing.

If you owe under £3,000, filing online by 30 December can also spread payment through your tax code instead of one lump sum in January.

At ABM Chartered Accountants, we collect your records, prepare your return, and file it with HMRC, then tell you exactly what is due and when. Regulated by ICAEW and ACCA.

Your business and you are two separate things in law. Mixing the money causes real problems.

For a limited company, the rule is simple: the company’s money belongs to the company, not to you. Pay a personal bill from the business account, or put business income into your own, and the company has just lent you money or made you a payment you have to explain. Every mixed transaction leaves a trail someone has to untangle.

For sole traders, the law treats you and the business as one person, but the same habit still hurts. Blended accounts make it hard to see real profit, easy to miss expenses, and slow to prove claims to HMRC.

What mixing the money can lead to:

🔴 Director’s loan balances and a possible tax charge
🔴 Benefit-in-kind and extra National Insurance
🔴 Expenses HMRC refuses for lack of evidence
🔴 Hours of reconciliation at year end
🔴 Weaker liability protection for directors

The fix is cheap: a separate business account, a card used only for business, and regular, documented payments to yourself as salary, dividends, or repaid loans.

At ABM Chartered Accountants, we help you set up clean separation, keep your books straight, and pay yourself in the most tax-efficient way. Regulated by ICAEW and ACCA.

A good accountant saves you more than they charge. If yours doesn’t, it’s worth a rethink.

Accountancy fees feel like a cost until you count what a good accountant actually changes. Tax you didn’t need to pay. Expenses you didn’t know you could claim. A cash flow problem spotted in March, not discovered in June. The fee is visible. The savings are quiet, which is why many business owners never notice when they’re missing.

If your accountant only files what you hand over, once a year, you’re paying for compliance and getting none of the advice. That’s the gap worth questioning.

Signs your accountant is earning their fee:

🔵 Tax planning before year end, not after
🔵 Reliefs and allowances found for you
🔵 Regular check-ins on your numbers
🔵 Clear answers in plain English
🔵 Deadlines handled without chasing

Signs it may be time for a rethink:

🔴 You only hear from them at deadlines
🔴 Nobody explains your tax bill
🔴 Questions go unanswered for days
🔴 No savings suggested, ever

At ABM Chartered Accountants, we measure our value in what we save and prevent for you: tax planning, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, and year-round advice. Regulated by ICAEW and ACCA, serving businesses, landlords, and contractors across the UK.

Three months to the tax deadline. The calm ones are already filing.

The Self Assessment deadline for the 2025/26 tax year is 31 January 2027, and it’s three months away. Every year, millions of people leave it until the final fortnight, then spend it hunting for records, waiting on HMRC helplines, and filing in a panic. Others file in the quiet weeks of autumn, know their bill early, and have months to plan the payment.

Filing early doesn’t mean paying early. Your tax is still due by 31 January, but you know the number while there’s time to do something about it.

Why filing now beats filing in January:

🔵 Know your bill months ahead
🔵 Time to find missing records
🔵 Fewer errors, less stress
🔵 Time to plan payments on account
🔵 Quick fixes if HMRC raises a query

If you owe under £3,000, filing online by 30 December can also spread payment through your tax code instead of one lump sum in January.

At ABM Chartered Accountants, we collect your records, prepare your return, and file it with HMRC, then tell you exactly what’s due and when. Regulated by ICAEW and ACCA.

Still doing paper returns? We’ll move you online and buy you three more months.

The paper Self Assessment deadline is Saturday 31 October, just nine days away. Miss it and a £100 late filing penalty applies, even if you owe nothing. File online and the same return isn’t due until 31 January 2027. That’s three extra months to gather records, check figures, and file properly.

Once you’re registered for online filing, you stay on the later deadline in future years too.

What moving online gives you:
🔵 Three extra months, every year
🔵 Instant HMRC confirmation
🔵 Tax calculated as you go
🔵 No lost or late post
🔵 Faster refunds and easy amendments

If you owe under £3,000, filing online by 30 December can also spread payment through your tax code instead of one lump sum in January.

At ABM Chartered Accountants, we handle the switch, prepare your return, and file it with HMRC for you. You approve it, and we do the rest. Regulated by ICAEW and ACCA.

Shoebox full of receipts? We’ll turn it into tidy, claimable records.

Every business owner has a version of the shoebox: a bag, a drawer, a folder of crumpled paper, and a vague plan to sort it out before the deadline. The problem is that a pile of receipts isn’t a record. It can’t be claimed, can’t be checked, and can’t tell you what your business actually spent.

Self-employed people must keep records for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline, and limited companies for six years. HMRC can charge up to £3,000 per tax year for inadequate records on a Self Assessment return, and expenses you can’t evidence can be refused outright.

What we do with your shoebox:
🔵 Sort every receipt by category
🔵 Digitise and store copies securely
🔵 Match each one to your bank transactions
🔵 Flag what’s claimable and what isn’t
🔵 Hand back clean records ready for your return

You don’t need to tidy it first. Bring us the box, a bag, or a folder of photos and we’ll do the sorting. Then we’ll set up a simple system so it never builds up again.

At ABM Chartered Accountants, we turn messy paperwork into bookkeeping you can rely on, and make sure every legitimate expense is claimed. Regulated by ICAEW and ACCA.
