After that, they assist in setting realistic and actionable strategies that will all eventually coalesce into a successful launch day for the business. Strategies can vary based on the type of business but it is always important to begin strategizing to ensure that the business is both profitable and sustainable. A

            It goes without saying that the best course of action you can take for your start up would be to hire a professional to deal with your business finances.

As a start up, your business is still vulnerable in the beginning stages and it would make more sense for you to focus on getting things moving instead of solely handling the financial aspects. Good

            Business startup accounting in the UK has been increasingly popular as more people seek to fulfil their dream of owning their own business. Usually, the desire to be a business owner stems from having a good, practical idea to supply a product or service. From the idea, there are a host of various aspects to consider, before the business comes to life. A crucial factor is

            , in most cases seen by Accounts Fortress, isn't fully considered or understood by new business owners. This results in lost opportunities when it comes to growing your business from the get-go. Additionally, this can lead to penalties when the first company submissions are due, as you might not be aware of the type of documentation that you should be keeping track of. From a legal standpoint, there are certain accounting and bookkeeping obligations that all businesses have, as decided by HM Revenue and Customs. It is important to ensure that you are submitting all necessary documents to HMRC on time, as well as submitting the correct paperwork.

            might seem like a luxury that you are willing to skip out on in the beginning. However, business startup accounting can actually help your business before you even start trading. This is because one of the very first decisions that you will need to make as a soon-to-be business owner, is the legal structure of the business that you are registering as. Accounts Fortress’s startup accounting experts can help you to determine if you should be registering as a sole trader, limited company or partnership. Each type of business has its own accounting and legal requirements, and will depend on your individual situation.
           &#xD;

           Brexit has brought on a number of changes which, to many businesses, feels like it happened overnight. These changes have been made to many long standing VAT and customs rulings between the UK and EU. Some of these rulings were agreed upon at the last minute though and have left mass confusion in its wake. It is safe to say that many businesses have had little time to fully digest the hundreds of changes that have been made to HMRC’s website. It is crucial for your business to stay on top of these changes and keep track of all of the practical issues to handle.

           In this article we will address a handful of the important changes that have come into effect along with Brexit. If you are not sure whether you have overlooked some of the changes made, it might be in your best interest to seek the help of professional accountants. The last thing you want is a penalty or worse, penalties.

           Do These Changes Affect Your Business?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           If we take a closer look at import VAT, previously, VAT-registered businesses in Great Britain applied VAT through the EU reverse charge on intra-community acquisitions. Import VAT was accounted for from anywhere else in the world. However, this now includes countries in the EU. This is only applicable for goods where the value exceeds £135. For amounts below this threshold, there is still a need to account for VAT, however it is treated a bit differently. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Overseas sellers of goods to customers in Great Britain must now register for VAT in the UK in order to account for UK VAT on imports valued at £135 or less. Online marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay will register as a marketplace, however, EU vendors that sell to the UK will register in their own right. Import VAT is applied at the point where goods are entered for free circulation. This is also considered the VAT tax point.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           What is Postponed VAT Accounting?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        
            The VAT tax point for imported goods could be at the port of entry or potentially when released from custom’s warehouses if making use of custom’s special procedures. It is important to note that you will still need to collect evidence from HMRC regarding the point the goods entered free circulation for your VAT records. Additionally, VAT can be paid at the tax point if you wish. To reclaim the VAT, you will need to submit monthly C79 reports, as when importing from outside the EU. Most businesses will, however, make use of the

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           This is when import VAT is not physically paid upfront and then reclaimed on the subsequent VAT return. Instead, it is reported as input and output VAT on the same VAT return. Postponed VAT accounting is optional, unless you defer the submission of customs declarations.VAT on services in a cross border purchase from one business to another (B2B) attract tax in the country of the customer, with some exceptions.

  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           When it comes to the export of goods to the EU, the VAT situation is also different after Brexit. Exports to the EU are treated the same as exports to non-EU countries, meaning they are zero rated for UK VAT. This means that from the UK side of things, a 0% VAT rate applies. However, you still need to account for the VAT in the recipient country. All in all, the VAT changes are extensive and you will need to proactively ensure compliance to avoid penalties. Having experienced VAT accountants on your side will help you to achieve the compliance you seek.

           What Is An Annual Account?

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            As an existing or a potential small business owner, you may be aware of the fact that one of your company's financial responsibilities include annual accounts. However you might be thinking, what exactly is an
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;a href="/annual-accounts"&gt;&#xD;
      
           annual account
          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           ? A summarised description would be that an annual account or company account is a collection of financial performance reports for the year. Essentially, these accounts are prepared once a year in order to file income tax returns. They consist of a balance sheet, profit and loss statement and a cash flow statement. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Besides being compiled in order to submit tax returns, annual accounts are meant to give shareholders and other interested parties the ability to view the company's activities and financial performances. All in all, it is a very comprehensive collection of the financial records for your business. Compiling an annual account is a daunting task to achieve, even for a more experienced small business owner. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           Preparing Annual Accounts
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Any good accountant will tell you that the annual account should essentially continually be compiled. With financial help such as the ones offered at Accounts Fortress, you can create healthy bookkeeping habits that will support you throughout the year. We don’t believe in going through a stressful tax season since we understand that being prepared is the key! When you have the right people in place, you can rest assured that your essential information and transactions are well documented. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Small businesses in the UK have their own particular set of annual accounts rules, just like any industry or corporation. It pays to have a trusted, expert small business accountant on your team who knows the ins and outs of the game. This way your business can avoid missing important deadlines, compiling and submitting inaccurate reports or incurring penalty fees. Your submissions to both HMRC and Companies House can be smooth sailing when you have the right accountant on board.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           A crucial aspect of small business bookkeeping is to ensure that your submissions are completed correctly and on time. You need to be aware that your financial statements are different from your normal annual accounts. To explain this a bit further, your financial statements, also known as statutory year end accounts, are sent to Companies House. The purpose of this is to give an overview of your company to anyone searching the Companies House register. In essence, the accounts demonstrate the reliability and solvency of your company. Additionally, you also must give a copy to any shareholders in your business.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Your corporation tax return to be submitted to HMRC, also has a different deadline than your financial statement with Companies House. Financial statements have to be submitted within 9 months of your business's financial year end. Furthermore, companies that satisfy the

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           , only have to submit an abridged financial statement. However, full reports are still sent to HMRC along with tax returns.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           The information that is presented in your annual account is in-depth, requiring detailed reports, statements and transaction history. In order to gain a full understanding of where your business is at financially, the balance sheet and profit and loss reports will need to be accurate, as well as up to date. Now, keeping track of records of your sales, expenses, tax calculations and total amounts of profit and loss can seem daunting. However, having an experienced annual accounting for a small business UK accountant to help you stay on track throughout your financial year will take the stress out of this task.

           , allowances and relief schemes all affect the way individuals and businesses pay tax. Additionally, these rates, bands and allowances typically change on a yearly basis. Generally, changes to income tax are announced in the Budget before the start of the new tax year. The 2021 Budget announcement included support such as the SEISS Grant for self-employed workers, as well as the Furlough scheme. The goal of these support measures is to assist businesses and employers who have been negatively affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It is important, before continuing with an in depth look into the personal tax, to note that the 21/2022 tax year will run from 06 April to 2021 until 05 April 2022.
          &#xD;

  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Simply put, tax-free personal allowance refers to the amount of income that falls before the first tax band. Essentially, if you earn below the first income band, then you won’t have to pay tax. During the ‘21 tax year, the personal allowance threshold was £12,500. For the 21/2022 tax year however, this has increased to an amount of £12,570. To illustrate this, let’s suppose that you earned £20,000 during the tax year, the taxable element of your income would be £20,000 - £12,570 = £7,430.

           Understanding The Tax Thresholds
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Not only does the amount of tax you need to pay depend on the amount you’ve earned, but also how you have earned it. Often, the most confusing part about personal income tax is working out how much income tax you are liable to pay based on the tax thresholds. So, the income tax system can be best explained as a set of bands. Each tax band represents a salary range and you pay tax based on the percentage of your income in a specific band. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           After the tax free personal allowance band, the next band is the basic rate income tax band. In this particular band, you are liable for 20% tax on the proportion of income that falls into this bracket. The threshold has increased from £12,501 - £50,000, to the 21/2022 threshold of £12,571 - £50,270. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Additional Personal Income Tax Bands 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Once your income total surpasses the basic rate income tax bans, you will potentially be taxed under the higher rate income tax. The part of your income in this tax band is taxed at 40%. The threshold has increased from the 21 year figures of £50,001 - £150,000, to £50,271 - £150,000. Lastly is the additional rate income tax – the highest rate. The income you earn above this threshold is subject to tax at 45% and the threshold remains at £150,000 upwards. Furthermore, there is a specific reduction calculation for personal allowance for high earners. For every £2 that you earn above £100,000, your personal allowance is reduced by £1. This means that if you earn £125,000 or more, your personal allowance is zero.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           , we understand the excitement and nerves that come with starting a new business. Taking a chance on your business venture is a huge step and ultimately, there are many different aspects to consider. Additionally, it is quite normal to feel overwhelmed at times of setting all your pre-planning and preparation into motion. As experienced accountants, we are well aware of the fact that often in the beginning stages of starting a business, your financial department might get somewhat overlooked. Many business start up owners make the mistake of thinking that they won’t benefit from having an accountant assist with setting up a UK business.

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        
            Once you are ready to register your company, you will need to ensure that you register as the right kind of entity. It is important to ask the right questions when it comes to the registration of your start up business. This is because the type of business you register will determine the requirements of your submissions and statutory contributions. As an example, if you register as a Sole Trader, you will not need to register with
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
      
           Companies House
          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           , although you would need to notify HMRC. Additionally, this type of business is not deemed a legal entity in it’s own right. Consequently the owner of the business has unlimited liability to all debts and legal actions.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Ultimately, Sole Traders do require minimal setup, as well as reduced filing requirements. However, the personal risk associated with this type of business could mean that the better route to go is to register as a limited company. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Should it be determined that a limited company is the right type of entity for your start up business, you will need to also make a decision on whether it will be public or private. Upon incorporation, limited companies’ filing history and appointments become publicly available on the Companies House register. Furthermore, both of these options stipulate that the business is a legal entity on its own. This means that should the enterprise become insolvent, the personal assets of stakeholders will not be exposed. However, there are still some main differences to consider between the two options. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Additionally, you could also register as either a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) or a Limited Partnership (LP). Naturally, these types of businesses will consist of two or more partners running the business together. In these instances, it is also recommended to determine and document each member’s responsibilities in the business before getting started.
