Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
Allowable expenses
An expense is allowable against trading profit if it is incurred wholly and exclusively for the business. Materials, business travel other than ordinary commuting, a proportion of home running costs, software, insurance, professional fees, bank charges and protective clothing qualify. Client entertainment, ordinary clothing, fines and the private share of mixed-use costs do not.
Record keeping
Record keeping is a legal obligation with a penalty of up to £3,000 for failure, but its real value is in making every other filing cheaper and more defensible. Keep invoices, receipts, bank statements, mileage logs and any HMRC correspondence, digitally if you like, for five years after the relevant filing deadline for individuals and six years for companies and VAT.
The 60-day property CGT return
Selling UK residential property that was not your main home for the whole period of ownership triggers a separate Capital Gains Tax return, due within 60 days of completion along with payment of the tax. This is in addition to the annual Self Assessment. The gain is taxed at 18% or 24% depending on your income band, after the £3,000 annual exempt amount.
Crypto records and reporting
Crypto tax splits into capital gains on disposals and income on rewards, with different rates and different reporting. The £3,000 annual exempt amount and the 18% and 24% rates apply to gains; staking, mining and airdrop income is taxed at marginal income tax rates. HMRC's nudge letters to holders have increased sharply, and a voluntary disclosure before one arrives is treated far more leniently.
The trading and property allowances
Small side incomes are covered by two £1,000 allowances, one for trading and one for property, which remove the need to register or report income below that level. Once income exceeds £1,000, the allowance can be used in place of expenses, a choice worth making deliberately: a freelancer with £900 of costs is better off with the allowance, one with £3,000 is not.
Dormant companies
Companies formed to protect a name or hold a future business are dormant but not exempt: Companies House still expects dormant accounts within nine months of the year end and a confirmation statement annually with its £50 fee, and HMRC must be told the company is dormant or it will demand Corporation Tax returns. The filings are short, but the penalties for missing them are the same as for a trading company.
Workplace pensions and auto-enrolment
Workplace pension compliance is part of payroll, not separate from it. Each pay period the payroll assesses who is eligible, calculates employer and employee contributions on qualifying earnings between the lower and upper thresholds, and sends the contribution file to the scheme. The minimum total is 8%, and many employers choose to contribute more as a recruitment advantage.
Questions
Cash-Flow Forecasting questions from Figge's Marsh
How is the £199 forecast built?
From your bookkeeping and bank data, your aged debtors and creditors, your payroll, your known commitments and the tax calendar. We analyse how quickly your customers actually pay rather than when they are due, which is where most forecasts go wrong, and we document every assumption so you can change it. You receive the model and a short briefing.
What is a 13-week rolling forecast?
A week-by-week projection of cash in and cash out for the next quarter, built from your debtor book and payment patterns, your creditors and their terms, payroll, rent, loan repayments and every tax date, giving the forecast bank balance at the end of each week. It is the standard tool for managing short-term cash and is refreshed as actuals arrive.
What is the monthly refresh retainer?
For £99 a month we replace each month's forecast with the actual figures, roll the horizon forward, update the assumptions for what has changed and send you the refreshed forecast with a short note on the movements. A forecast that is not refreshed is out of date within weeks; the retainer keeps it live.
What does the 12-month forecast add?
The £349 forecast extends the horizon to a year, monthly, with three scenarios: base case, a downside with slower sales or payment, and an upside, so you can see the cash effect of the things that might happen. It includes a profit and loss and balance sheet forecast alongside the cash, and is the basis for the funding pack.
Will banks accept your forecasts?
Yes. Lenders see forecasts constantly and recognise one built from real data with documented assumptions. Grant bodies and investors likewise. We produce covenant calculations and any specific format a lender requires, and we are happy to speak to the lender with you about the assumptions.
What is in the funding-application pack?
For £299: a 12-month forecast with monthly cash flow, profit and loss and balance sheet, an assumptions schedule, sensitivity analysis showing what happens if sales fall or costs rise by set percentages, and a narrative explaining the business and the use of funds in the terms lenders and grant bodies use. We brief you on the questions they will ask.
Is cash-flow forecasting in Figge's Marsh really the same price as elsewhere?
Yes. The fee published on this page is what a client in Figge's Marsh pays and what a client in any other part of England pays.
