With 31 March fast approaching, now’s the time to get organised for year end. Acting early saves time, reduces stress, and ensures your business is set up for success in 2025. If you’d like a checklist, ask us where to start.

Don’t forget provisional tax! If you’re a provisional taxpayer — typically anyone who earns income where no tax is deducted at source, like sole traders or contractors — your final payment for the 2024 tax year is due on 7 May 2025 (if we prepare your tax returns). If you don’t have your tax returns prepared by your accountant, final payment was due on 7 February 2025. Unsure if this applies to you? Get in touch. We’ll clarify your obligations and help you stay on track.
