We’re always looking out for ways to help our clients stay ahead of HMRC’s evolving expectations.

One area that’s come under increased scrutiny is private use (PU) adjustments – a common feature in small business tax returns, but one that’s often misunderstood or misapplied.

In our latest blog, Karen Keeling explains what you need to know, why it matters and what you can do to protect your business, avoid unnecessary HMRC enquiries and ensure your tax returns reflect reality.

If you’d like help reviewing your PU adjustments or want to discuss how this might affect your next tax return, get in touch with our team.

We first spoke about this back in February when Matt Whitehouse visited the team. Now, we’re just a month away from Emily B-G, Luke, James, Suzi, and Sam A taking on an incredible challenge to raise money and awareness for our chosen charity: The Lily Mae Foundation.

Any support you can give - whether through donations or sharing the message will mean a great deal to both the team and the charity. You’ll find the donation link in our stories.

Thank you in advance, and be sure to keep an eye on our socials and The Lily Mae Foundation’s channels on Jump Day: 10 September!

Podcast Episode 10 – Reflecting on our first 10

Podcast Episode 10 – Reflecting on our first 10 years in AGN International. From Brexit to AI, cowboy boots to sushi – what a journey it’s been!

As we mark 10 years of Dafferns’ membership with AGN International, Martin Gibbs and Brian Jukes reflect on the transformation this partnership has brought, sharing memories and lessons from the last 10 years. Head over to Dafferns.com to listen to episode 10.

AGN International, an association of 200 member firms across nearly 100 countries has truly broadened our perspectives and transformed how we work. This milestone also coincides with Martin's retirement after 26 years as a partner – a fitting moment to look back.

Highlights to date:
Our first (daunting but rewarding) conference in Copenhagen
Becoming Brexit thought leaders – presenting globally and publishing widely-read insights
Leaning on AGN during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing critical support and knowledge-sharing
Gaining early exposure to AI and ESG trends through international collaboration
Attending 35+ global events and building lasting professional relationships
Helping clients expand internationally via trusted AGN connections
Developing future leaders through AGN’s partner development programmes
Reinforcing our identity as authentic, agile, and connected advisors.

We thank them both for everything, they will be missed but wish them all the very best for the future!
