Business

As a business owner, it’s crucial to start the new tax year on the right foot by taking proactive measures to optimise your financial position. Effective planning helps you to stay organised, compliant, and make the most of your tax deductions. In this article, we’ll share tips and strategies to help you prepare your business for the new tax year.

Maintain Accurate Financial Records

Keeping up-to-date financial records allows you to evaluate your current financial position accurately. Make sure to document all of your income, expenses, deductions, and tax reliefs claimed throughout the year. By doing so, you’ll be able to monitor your business’s performance, identify potential risks and opportunities, and ensure a smooth submission process at the end of the tax year.

Utilise Tax Reliefs and Allowances

To reduce your tax liabilities, take advantage of the various tax reliefs and allowances available to your business. For instance, consider the capital allowances, travel expenses, and VAT reclaim if applicable. There may also be industry-specific tax reliefs that you could claim, such as R&D tax reliefs. Keep in mind that some tax reliefs and allowances may have upcoming reforms or changes that could impact your business.
