A contract can look straightforward but still carry VAT risks. The terms may affect how a transaction is treated for VAT, potentially creating unexpected costs. Review VAT implications before signing or changing agreements. 💬 Do you check VAT before signing?

Buying something for your business doesn't automatically make it tax deductible. HMRC considers whether it was wholly and exclusively for business purposes. Keep receipts and note why purchases were business related to support legitimate claims if HMRC asks.

Being a company director involves more than running a business. Missing deadlines, mixing personal and business money, poor record keeping or ignoring Companies House updates can cause problems. 👇 Which mistake happens most often? Have you seen another common mistake?

Changing accountants doesn't require HMRC's approval. Your new accountant can manage the handover, request the necessary information, and complete the HMRC authorisation process. Switching is often much easier than most business owners think.

Paying your spouse through the business may offer tax planning opportunities if they genuinely work in the business and pay reflects their role. Keep it commercially reasonable and documented. For more advice contact us: chacc.co.uk/

Choosing an accountant on price alone can cost more later. Missed tax reliefs and opportunities may go unnoticed. Good accounting means proactive advice, not just filing paperwork. When did your accountant last suggest a tax saving? chacc.co.uk

How should company directors pay themselves? It depends on profits, personal income, tax position and future plans. The right mix can help avoid unnecessary tax. Review your strategy regularly. Practical advice: chacc.co.uk/

VAT mistakes often start long before filing, through missing invoices, incorrect VAT treatment or poor records. Keep bookkeeping accurate throughout the year, not just at VAT deadlines, to reduce errors and unexpected corrections.
