Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
The trading and property allowances
Not every small income needs a tax return. The trading allowance exempts the first £1,000 of self-employment or casual income and the property allowance does the same for rental income, each measured on gross receipts. They cannot be combined with rent-a-room relief on the same income, and claiming the allowance means giving up the expense deduction for that source.
Dormant companies
A dormant company is one with no significant accounting transactions in the year, where the only permitted entries are the payment for shares on incorporation, Companies House fees and penalties. It still files a confirmation statement and simplified dormant accounts every year. A bank charge or an accountant's fee paid from the company ends dormancy and requires full accounts.
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.
Employer National Insurance
Since April 2025 employer National Insurance has been 15% on earnings above a £5,000 secondary threshold, a substantial increase for small employers. The Employment Allowance rose to £10,500 at the same time to soften it for the smallest businesses. Directors deciding their own salary weigh this cost against the Corporation Tax deduction a salary provides.
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.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax
MTD for Income Tax replaces one annual return with quarterly digital updates and a year-end declaration, submitted from software. The threshold is gross trading and property income, measured two years earlier, and started at £50,000 in April 2026 before falling to £30,000 in April 2027. Anyone affected needs digital record keeping in place before their start date, not after.
Record keeping
Good records are the difference between a quick enquiry and a long one. For the self-employed, five years after the filing deadline; for companies, six years from the year end; for VAT, six years. Photographs of receipts, PDF statements and software exports all count. The requirement is to keep records, not paper, and a well-organised cloud folder satisfies it.
Questions
Capital Gains Tax questions from Hampton North
What if I sell shares from an employee share scheme?
It depends on the scheme. Shares from a SAYE or SIP scheme have specific cost rules and sometimes income tax has already been paid on part of the value. Options exercised and sold on the same day may have no gain at all. We need the scheme documents and the exercise and sale figures, and we apply the correct treatment for each.
Do transfers between spouses trigger tax?
No. Transfers between spouses or civil partners living together are at no gain and no loss; the recipient takes over the original cost. This allows both annual exemptions and both basic rate bands to be used on a later sale, which is a common and legitimate way to reduce the tax on a jointly planned disposal.
Can I use losses from previous years?
Yes, if they were claimed on a return within four years of the tax year in which they arose. Current-year losses are set against current-year gains first, even if that wastes the annual exemption; brought-forward losses are only used to the extent needed to bring gains down to the exemption. We check for unclaimed historical losses as standard.
How do you work out gains on shares bought at different times?
Disposals are matched first to shares bought the same day, then to shares bought in the following 30 days, then to the section 104 pool, which holds all other shares of that class at their average cost. The same rules apply to funds and to crypto. We run the matching across your full history.
I gave a property to my child. Is there tax?
Yes. Gifts to anyone other than your spouse or civil partner are disposals at market value, and the gain is taxable even though no money changed hands. The 60-day return applies to residential property. Gift relief can defer gains on business assets, but not on investment property. We value, compute and report the gift.
What is business asset disposal relief?
Formerly entrepreneurs' relief: a reduced rate on gains from selling all or part of a trading business, or shares in a trading company where you held at least 5% and were an officer or employee for two years. The lifetime limit is £1 million. The rate rose to 14% in April 2025 and to 18% from April 2026. Our £299 service prepares and supports the claim.
Is capital gains tax in Hampton North really the same price as elsewhere?
Yes. The fee published on this page is what a client in Hampton North pays and what a client in any other part of England pays. It is confirmed in writing before work starts and the invoice matches the quote. Where a higher package applies because your situation is more complex, we say so at the quote stage, never afterwards.
Do you have an office in Hampton North?
No. IGI Accounting is an online-only firm. We serve Hampton North and every other UK postcode remotely, with records sent by WhatsApp or email and everything filed electronically. The absence of local premises is why the fee for capital gains tax is the same in Hampton North as anywhere else in the country, and why there is nothing to visit and nothing to print.
