Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
Employer National Insurance
The cost of an employee is more than the salary. Employer National Insurance at 15% above £5,000 a year, the 3% minimum pension contribution, holiday pay, equipment and management time all come on top. The Employment Allowance of £10,500 reduces the National Insurance for most employers with more than one person on the payroll.
Workplace pensions and auto-enrolment
Auto-enrolment duties begin the day you take on your first employee, not when the Pensions Regulator writes to you. Eligible staff must be enrolled, contributions paid every pay period and re-enrolment carried out every three years. Director-only companies without employment contracts are usually exempt. Fines for non-compliance are fixed and escalating.
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.
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.
Crypto records and reporting
HMRC treats cryptoassets as property. Swapping one token for another, spending crypto or gifting it are all disposals for Capital Gains Tax, and staking and lending rewards are income. Gains are computed under pooling rules with same-day and 30-day matching. From 2026 HMRC receives data from exchanges worldwide under the Cryptoasset Reporting Framework, so unreported activity is increasingly visible.
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.
Record keeping
HMRC requires records of all income and expenses, bank statements, invoices and receipts to be kept for at least five years after the 31 January filing deadline of the tax year they relate to, and companies must keep records for six years from the end of the accounting period. Digital copies are acceptable. Under Making Tax Digital the records must be kept in compatible software.
Questions
Cash-Flow Forecasting questions from Pembridge
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.
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 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.
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.
Why do forecasts usually go wrong?
Three reasons: they assume customers pay on the due date, they forget tax dates, and they are never updated. We model actual payment behaviour from your history, place VAT, PAYE, Corporation Tax and Self Assessment payments on their real dates, and offer the refresh retainer so the forecast stays current.
Do I need bookkeeping with you to have a forecast?
No, but the data must exist. We build forecasts from any reasonably kept accounting file plus bank data. If the bookkeeping is behind, we say so first, because a forecast built on stale records is worthless. Clients in our bookkeeping service have the data ready by default.
Do you have an office in Pembridge?
No. IGI Accounting is an online-only firm. We serve Pembridge 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 cash-flow forecasting is the same in Pembridge as anywhere else in the country, and why there is nothing to visit and nothing to print.
Is cash-flow forecasting in Pembridge really the same price as elsewhere?
Yes. The fee published on this page is what a client in Pembridge 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.
