The main payment deadline is usually 31 January, with a possible second payment on account due on 31 July. We will explain the exact amounts and dates that apply to you.
Payments on account are advance instalments towards the following year's tax bill. They are usually based on the previous year's Income Tax and Class 4 National Insurance.

Many small companies qualify for audit exemption, but this depends on size, group circumstances and other conditions. We can confirm whether an audit is required.
Absolutely. While we'll prepare your year-end accounts and any traditional management accounts you need, we believe your numbers should do much more than tell you what's already happened. Our Business Growth & Planning service goes a step further by turning your financial information into meaningful insights. Alongside regular reporting, we can provide cash flow forecasts, profitability analysis, key performance indicators and strategic planning support to help you make informed decisions throughout the year. In short, we'll not only show you where your business has been—we'll help you plan where it's going next.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is HMRC's system requiring affected sole traders and landlords to keep digital records, send quarterly updates and complete their annual tax reporting through compatible software.
It starts in phases. It applies from 6 April 2026 to qualifying sole traders and landlords with income over £50,000, from 6 April 2027 over £30,000 and from 6 April 2028 over £20,000, based on the relevant qualifying year.

Yes. We can set up Xero and the related processes needed to keep suitable digital records.

You can change at any time. The best timing depends on deadlines, work already completed and the state of your records.
