Stuff worth
knowing.

Common expenses, and the ones almost nobody claims. What you can put through your books before your next Self Assessment or MTD update.

What actually gets deducted, why, and the mistakes that quietly cost subcontractors the most money.

Which date applies to you, what actually changes, and the bit almost everyone misses about how HMRC decides you're in scope.

The threshold that forces your hand, when registering early actually helps, and why the Flat Rate Scheme isn't the easy win it's often sold as for construction.

The old rule of thumb has quietly stopped being true for a lot of tradesmen. Here's where the numbers actually land now.

Why getting someone's status wrong is one of the costliest mistakes a growing contractor can make, and how to actually tell the difference.

What HMRC actually expects you to keep, for how long, and what happens if you genuinely can't find something.

Why being busy isn't the same as being profitable, and the simple habit that tells you which jobs are actually worth taking.

What a compliance check actually involves, how far back HMRC can go, and why panicking is the worst response.

Lease or buy, and the double-cab pickup tax trap that's caught out more tradesmen than it should.
