Time to start getting ready for Making Tax Digital

Time to start getting ready for Making Tax Digital (MTD)

MTD is designed to make it easier for taxpayers to get their tax right and replacing the current system of an annual self-assessment tax return with a new digital system for more frequent reporting and tax management.

If you are self-employed or a landlord, now is the time to start preparing for MTD - Find out more in Scott Whitmore's blog or get in touch with any questions at Dafferns.com

Earlier today, Emma Leech and Tanisha Tailor-Bhogal from our audit team attended Coventry University's Business & Law Careers Fair to represent team Dafferns and chat to the students about our profession in more detail.

It’s always an enjoyable time meeting the next generation, whether they choose to become accountants or not, we certainly do hope they consider us when they finish their degree though!

Today marks Time to Talk Day, a national initiative encouraging open conversations about mental health. You can find out more about the campaign here @timetochangecampaign

At Dafferns, we recognise the importance of mental wellbeing, not just within our team but across the broader professional community. Open discussions about mental health help break down stigma and create a more supportive and understanding workplace for everyone.

We want to take this opportunity to highlight the importance of accessible mental health support and remind our team of the various resources we offer to help prioritise wellbeing. Whether through internal initiatives, professional guidance, or open conversations, we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.

Prioritising mental health is not just about having resources in place but about creating a culture where people feel heard, valued, and supported. By making mental wellbeing a core part of our workplace, we encourage open dialogue and ensure our team knows they can access support when needed.

If you or someone you know is struggling, we encourage you to reach out - whether within your own organisation or through external support networks. Mental health matters, and together, we can make a difference.

Continuous learning is key in our profession!

As accountants, we undergo extensive training - refreshers, external sessions, guest speakers, and internal workshops to stay ahead and support the next generation.

Today, some of our team dived into business valuations, gaining valuable insights from our expert in the field, Brian Jukes.

A huge thank you to Matt Whitehouse from @lilymae070210 for joining us today, sharing his family’s story and the support the foundation provides, for families in Warwickshire and the West Midlands who go through the heartbreak of baby loss.

We will be raising both awareness and funds throughout 2025 for this wonderful charity. Keep an eye out for the events we will be hosting and taking part in over the year - we would appreciate your support!

Martin Gibbs, Brian Jukes and Karen Keeling reflec

Martin Gibbs, Brian Jukes and Karen Keeling reflect on the state of the world in January 2025.

* Reflecting on the October 2024 Budget and how it was way worse than we first thought.... with big impacts on Agricultural Property Relief, Pensions and Inheritance Tax, a huge increase in employer's national insurance and the impact on confidence and the UK economy
* Following up on our hugely successful episode 3 last year on ESG, we take a look the current state of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) in light of Germany's push back to the EU and a slow down in demand for electric vehicles
* And of course, the inauguration of Donald Trump and the roll on impact of this on everything…
