Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
Confirmation statements and identity verification
Companies House has tightened its requirements under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act: every company needs a registered email address and an appropriate registered office, every statement includes a lawful-purpose declaration, and every director and PSC must verify their identity. The confirmation statement, due annually with a £50 fee, is where most of this is confirmed.
CIS deductions
The Construction Industry Scheme affects both sides of a construction payment. Contractors must verify subcontractors, deduct the right amount, issue statements and file monthly, with penalties from £100 for each late return. Subcontractors suffer deductions on turnover and recover the excess at the year end. Limited company subcontractors offset deductions against PAYE monthly instead.
Late filing penalties
Penalties are the clearest reason to work to deadlines. A Self Assessment return one day late costs £100 regardless of whether any tax is due; three months late adds £10 a day. Late company accounts start at £150 and reach £1,500, and double if the previous year was also late. None of this is negotiable afterwards except through a narrow reasonable-excuse appeal.
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.
The Self Assessment calendar
The tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April. Anyone new to Self Assessment must register by 5 October after the end of the tax year in which their untaxed income began. The online return and the balancing payment are due by 31 January, with a second payment on account on 31 July where they apply. Paper returns have an earlier deadline of 31 October and are rarely sensible.
Payments on account
Payments on account catch out most people in their second year of self-employment. HMRC assumes next year's tax will match this year's and collects half in January and half in July, in advance, on top of the balancing payment. If profits are dropping you can apply to reduce them, but reducing them too far attracts interest. We calculate the right figure rather than guessing.
Salary versus dividends
Directors of their own companies usually take a salary at or just above the National Insurance thresholds, which keeps the year qualifying for State Pension and is deductible for Corporation Tax, with further income as dividends. Dividends above the £500 allowance are taxed at 10.75%, 35.75% and 39.35% by band and can only be paid from distributable profits after tax, with a minute and voucher each time.
Questions
Accounting Software Support questions from Mill Hill
Will the setup make my year-end cheaper?
Usually, yes. Our own limited company and sole trader accounts fees assume reconciled records, and a properly set up file produces them. Accounts prepared from a tidy software file take days; accounts rebuilt from a broken one take weeks and cost more. The setup fee is typically recovered in the first year-end.
Can you connect my online shop or payment processor?
Yes. Marketplace and e-commerce platforms, card processors and payment gateways can be integrated so that sales, fees and payouts post automatically and reconcile to the bank. Getting the fee and VAT treatment right on these integrations is where most e-commerce files go wrong, and we configure it as part of the setup.
Who pays for the software subscription?
You do, directly to the software company, so that the data is yours and you can change accountant without losing it. Subscriptions range from a few pounds a month for basic sole trader tools to around £35 for the fuller platforms. We will tell you if a cheaper tier is sufficient.
Do you provide training?
Yes. The £89 session is 90 minutes by video call, recorded for you to replay, covering the tasks you actually do: raising invoices, capturing receipts, matching bank transactions, running the VAT return, reading the reports. A written quick-reference follows. Several staff can attend the same session.
Can you move my history from my old software?
Yes. Migration from £199 brings across customers, suppliers, outstanding invoices and bills, the chart of accounts and historical transactions, typically for the current and previous financial years, with balances reconciled to the old system before it is closed. More history or very large files are quoted before we start.
What is a file cleanup and when do I need one?
When the bank has not reconciled for months, the suspense account has a large balance, there are duplicate transactions or customers, VAT returns in the software do not match what was filed, or the balance sheet contains figures nobody can explain. From £149 we reconcile, correct and document the file so it can be relied on.
Do you have an office in Mill Hill?
No. IGI Accounting is an online-only firm. We serve Mill Hill, Barnet 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 accounting software support is the same in Mill Hill as anywhere else in the country, and why there is nothing to visit and nothing to print.
Is accounting software support in Mill Hill really the same price as elsewhere?
Yes. The fee published on this page is what a client in Mill Hill, Barnet 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.
