Going forward its business as usual.
We are in the office two days next week Monday and Tuesday.

Unfortunately the Office Block always closes for the Beighton Welfare’s Big New Year Party (prep and tidy up)

We have a new Payroll Manager As many of you will know he by now. Cheryl, she has done the December wages and salaries in time for Xmas.

Cheryl is real find and a great asset. She would like thank you all for help it hitting the deadlines (it’s a team event)

Michelle joined us through the month. With 35 year experience, she was a client who knows the business from both sides. Up and running from day one.

Every client will come into contact with her, if you haven’t already! A great organiser she will book everything in and manage the work flow.

So please work with her and things will work like clock work.

Things will be tight for a few months as we catch up.

All the authorities understand that Daniel Oxley was a rogue director and always was it seems.

We are being given deadline extensions, Michelle will let you know a start date and completion date for your accounts through January.

Some operational notes:
Vat for those with a Sep Oct Nov period please send the paper work as the deadline is 7 January and we need to work on it we

will send reminder next week but things get missed or can end up in junk mail.

Send as you would your normal VAT routine.

We need to set the record straight!

This is now part of a police investigation and the ICO (Data protection), Companies House and HMRC.

Unfortunately, I cannot go into details but if you call me, I can explain if your company is affected.

Believe me there is no immediate urgency to find another accountant as the authorities know that

Daniel Oxley was a rogue director – he has locked us out of accessing a lot of company data.

Please email us about any issues you might have and we can deal with them, we will create a file to

then pass on to the relevant authorities, whether it be the police, companies house or HMRC.

DO NOT pay anything to any third parties as some clients have been conned into paying money to

GXY Accountancy Ltd which was owed to First Accountancy.

This is unacceptable and you still need to pay us as the work which has been invoiced was done

when their team were working for First Accountancy.

The team left without handing anything over. Their last working day was November 6th 2025.

I would ask for you to share any complaints you might have regarding First Accountancy and the

staff up to the 6th of November 2025.

As it is the team that caused the issues which you are now experiencing are the ones who have

left to work for GXY Accountancy Ltd.

As you have probably have heard MTD ITSA has been delayed, so this is what the delay means after reading the new legislation.

MTD ITSA will be delayed until April 6th, 2024 for 

– Self Employed
– Landlords and Property 
 
Regardless of the year-end dates, all of the above clients are mandated to be on MTD compliment software on April 6th, 2024M.

One impact that most businesses may wish to change their year-end to 6th April as it will make it much easier to submit your self assessment using MTD.

The £10k turnover, quarterly reporting, End of period statement + End of year Submission are all staying the same and there will be a slight change in how penalties work.

MTD ITSA will be delayed further until April 6th, 2025 for Partnerships. MTD for all VAT registered businesses to be on software by April 2022 is also staying the same.

If you have a business account with NatWest/RBS/Mettle we can set up a free use of free agent software which is designed for small businesses, also we can assist clients if they are interested on transferring to a different software.

For clients not wishing to transfer onto a computerised system we are looking to operate an inhouse computer system to need the MTD requirements but clients will still be required to provide information quarterly to our office.

The attached from free agent may be of interest to help your understanding.

HMRC (HM Revenue & Customs) is aware of an automated phone call scam which will tell you HMRC is filing a lawsuit against you, and to press one to speak to a caseworker to make a payment. We can confirm this is a scam and you should end the call immediately. This scam has been widely reported and often targets vulnerable people.

Please call us for advice, do not call them before taking advice.

R35 reforms to be delayed for a year due to coronavirus. Chief treasury secretary Steve Barclay last evening announced that the IR35 tax reforms would be pushed back by one year, less than a week after the controversial measures were confirmed in the Budget.

The changes will therefore be scheduled to commence in in April 2021, hopefully the government will look to change the legislation before then.
