Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment
(MTD for ITSA)
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD ITSA) is the next stage of HMRC’s move towards fully digital tax reporting. It applies to self-employed individuals, including CIS subcontractors, and landlords.
​
MTD ITSA will become mandatory from:
-
6 April 2026 if your turnover was over £50,000 in the 2024–25 tax year
-
6 April 2027 if your turnover was over £30,000 in the 2025–26 tax year
-
6 April 2028 if your turnover was over £20,000 in the 2026–27 tax year
If you are within scope, you will be required by law to keep digital records and submit regular updates to HMRC using compatible software.
​
At Busy Bee Accountancy, we provide end-to-end MTD ITSA support to ensure you are fully compliant and stress-free.
Our service includes:
-
Assessing whether and when MTD ITSA applies to you
-
Setting you up on HMRC-compatible accounting software
-
Ongoing digital bookkeeping support
-
Preparing and submitting quarterly updates to HMRC
-
Completing and submitting your end-of-year digital tax return
-
Ongoing advice and support
From the 2026–27 tax year, MTD ITSA will replace the traditional annual Self Assessment return for those within scope. Failure to comply can result in penalties, so early preparation is essential.
​
With Busy Bee Accountancy, you can be confident that your MTD ITSA obligations are handled correctly, allowing you to focus on running and growing your business.
Corporation Tax Return
Running a business is demanding enough without worrying about corporation tax deadlines and complex HMRC rules.
Every limited company must submit a Company Tax Return (CT600) to HMRC and pay any corporation tax due on time.
​
We take care of the full process for you. This includes preparing your corporation tax computation, completing your CT600, and submitting it to HMRC by the required deadline. We also review your figures to ensure all allowable expenses and reliefs are claimed, helping you pay the right amount of tax – no more and no less.
​
You can be confident that your records are accurate, compliant, and properly supported, reducing the risk of penalties, interest, and HMRC enquiries.
​
With Busy Bee Accountancy, you get peace of mind that your corporation tax is handled correctly, so you can focus on running and growing your business.
Limited Company Accounts
The importance of accurate and timely annual accounts cannot be overstated, as they play a vital role in the financial health and compliance of your business. That's why we offer our exceptional accounting services to handle this critical task for you.
​
By partnering with us, you can avoid the hefty fines and complications associated with missed deadlines and errors in your annual accounts. Our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way.
Bookkeeping
At Busy Bee, we recognize that meticulous bookkeeping is the foundation of any successful business. Our approach is distinctively personalized and proactive. We believe in sitting down with you to gain a comprehensive understanding of your business and its unique goals.
​
Our process begins with a thorough analysis of your income and expenditures. By capturing each transaction with precision, we ensure that your financial records are not only accurate but also insightful. This detailed recording enables you to access critical financial information that empowers you to make informed decisions, effectively measure performance, and strategically plan for the future.
​
Partner with us to transform your bookkeeping from a mere compliance task into a powerful tool for financial clarity and business growth.
VAT Returns
At Busy Bee Accountancy, we provide reliable VAT preparation and review services tailored specifically for small businesses. Our experienced team ensures you are on the correct VAT scheme and that your records are accurate, so your VAT returns are completed and submitted on time.
​
Businesses with taxable turnover above the VAT registration threshold must register for VAT with HMRC. Voluntary registration is also available for businesses below the threshold and can sometimes be beneficial. Once registered, you must charge VAT on taxable sales at the appropriate rate, whether standard, reduced, or zero-rated.
​
We prepare and submit your VAT returns, showing the VAT you have charged to customers (output VAT) and the VAT you have paid on purchases and expenses (input VAT). The difference is either paid to HMRC or reclaimed as a refund.
Getting VAT wrong can be costly. Errors, late submissions, or incorrect calculations can result in penalties and interest. We help you stay compliant by maintaining accurate records and reviewing your figures carefully.
​
We also advise on special VAT schemes such as the Flat Rate Scheme and Annual Accounting Scheme, and we support businesses with partial exemption calculations where applicable.
​
Choose Busy Bee Accountancy for clear, practical, and dependable VAT support, giving you peace of mind that your VAT obligations are handled correctly so you can focus on growing your business.
Management Accounts
Management Accounts are regular financial reports that give you a clear and up-to-date picture of your business’s financial health. Unlike year-end accounts, which only look back at what has already happened, Management Accounts provide ongoing insight throughout the year, helping you make informed and timely decisions.
​
Many small businesses rely only on annual accounts. While these are important, they often highlight problems or missed opportunities after it is too late to fix them. With Management Accounts, you can see how your business is performing in real time and take action early to improve profitability, manage cash flow, and stay in control.
​
Management Accounts typically include:
​
-
Profit and loss reports
-
Breakdown of income and expenses
-
Cash flow forecasts
-
Balance sheets
-
Key performance indicators (KPIs)
-
Comparisons against previous periods or budgets
At Busy Bee Accountancy, we use cloud accounting software that links directly with your business systems. This gives you accurate, up-to-date, and reliable financial information whenever you need it.
​
Management Accounts are not just about reviewing the past. They are a powerful planning tool that helps you look ahead, set goals, and make confident business decisions. Whether you want to grow, improve efficiency, or protect your profits, our Management Accounts service gives you the clarity and control to move your business forward.
Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
CIS is a key part of the UK construction industry. Whether you are already running a construction business or planning to start one, it is important to understand how CIS works and what your responsibilities are.
​
At Busy Bee Accountancy, we support both contractors and subcontractors with all aspects of CIS. We explain how CIS affects your tax position and make sure you stay compliant with HMRC.
​
Our CIS services include registering you for CIS, verifying subcontractors, preparing and submitting monthly CIS returns, issuing payment and deduction statements, and advising on allowable expenses and tax deductions.
​
You do not need to deal with the complexity of CIS on your own. We handle the paperwork and deadlines, so you can focus on running and growing your construction business with confidence.
