Every penny saved is a penny earned - especially in business! This week, we’re kicking things off with a quick but impactful tip to help you save money and maximize profits. 💡Elsby & Co Tip of the Week: Keep Calm and Collect Your VAT Refunds! Many businesses miss out on reclaiming VAT they’re entitled to, simply because they forget to track expenses or don’t file correctly. But reclaiming VAT is like finding hidden treasure in your books - it’s money that rightfully belongs to your business. ✅ Why does this matter? VAT refunds reduce your overall costs and improve cash flow. Over time, unclaimed VAT adds up to significant lost savings. Proper VAT tracking keeps your business compliant and financially efficient. 🔎 How can you ensure you’re reclaiming everything? ✔ Review your receipts – Ensure you’re keeping VAT invoices from suppliers. ✔ Double-check expenses – Some costs might be eligible that you hadn’t considered. ✔ Stay organized – Use accounting software to track VAT automatically. ✔ Seek expert advice – At Elsby & Co, we can help you maximize your claims.

Inspiring the next generation! 🙌 Today, we had the pleasure of attending a careers fair for Year 12 students at local school, Rushden Academy. While not every student was set on a career in accountancy, it was fantastic to have the opportunity to chat with them about their studies, aspirations, and the paths they’re considering to get there. At Elsby & Co, we’re passionate about supporting young people as they start to explore their career options. We always love sharing advice on how to make a strong impression - whether it’s through a well-crafted CV or gaining valuable experience. Volunteering, having a part-time job, or joining a club are all brilliant ways for students to build skills, boost confidence, and stand out from the crowd. It’s inspiring to see so much ambition and potential! The future is definitely bright! 🌟 Ann Phillips Katy Hurren #careersfair #futuretalent #careeradvice #elsbyandco

Are You Approaching Retirement? It Might Be Time to Reconsider Your Business Structure. If you’re a sole director of a limited company and nearing state retirement age, disincorporation could bring significant tax savings. 👉 By transitioning from a limited company to a sole trader or partnership, you could save up to 8% in tax—which, on £50,000 profits, could mean £4,000 back in your pocket. While Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) may not always apply, keeping funds in your limited company and paying them out as dividends while staying in the basic rate tax bracket could be an even more efficient strategy than liquidation. 📌 Key takeaway: If you’re approaching retirement, it’s essential to review your business structure to ensure you’re operating in the most tax-efficient way. Are you or your clients in this position? Let’s talk about how we can help. #TaxPlanning #BusinessStrategy #RetirementPlanning #Accountancy #SmallBusiness
