HomeAbout usContact usFAQsPrivacy PolicyMoreMore childM Watson Accountancy Services Ltd Professional and Affordable Accountancy and Taxation Services for the Smaller Business Email: office@mwatsonaccountancy.co.uk Telephone/WhatsApp: 07491 044688About UsAs we approach our 10th year of trading, we remain committed to expanding our services, supporting more businesses, and continuing our growth well into the future.Founded in November 2015, we are a modern accountancy practice led by our owner and director, Mark Watson FFA FIPA. We hold a current practising certificate from The Institute of Financial Accountants and are fully regulated. Our clients primarily consist of small businesses and individuals based in the Redcar and Cleveland area, though we do work with clients further afield. We welcome both new business start-ups and established companies, providing tailored support to help them grow and succeed. We use advanced software that is fully compliant with HMRC and Companies House requirements, ensuring your financial information is accurately prepared and submitted in the correct formats. We incorporated in November 2015 and began trading in February 2016 with a clear mission: to provide friendly, professional, and affordable accountancy and taxation services for smaller businesses. Since then, our client base has grown significantly, helping us develop into a thriving practice. About Mark Watson FFA FIPAI have worked in the accountancy and taxation profession for nearly 35 years, beginning my studies in October 1991. By 1996, I had qualified as an Accounting Technician and continued to gain experience working in local practice. During this time, I observed that many small businesses were underserved, often facing high accountancy fees and limited support while larger clients received the majority of attention. This inspired me to create a practice specifically focused on smaller businesses, offering professional services at fair and transparent prices. To further my expertise, I completed a home study course with the ACCA and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in early 2015. Shortly afterwards, in 2016, I became a qualified member of the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA) and established my practice, obtaining a Practising Certificate from the IFA. I specifically chose the IFA because, like me, they focus on supporting smaller entities. For more information on the IFA, please visit their website using the button below. One aspect that clients often highlight is that I am not a stereotypical accountant. I take a straightforward, down-to-earth approach and explain accountancy and taxation matters in clear, jargon-free language. This allows my clients to feel confident that their accounts and tax matters are fully compliant, up to date, and properly taken care of - without unnecessary complexity.IFA WEBSITE Company Number 09889136 Registered Office: 29 Beech Grove, Brotton, Saltburn, Cleveland TS12 2UY Director: M Watson FFA FIPA Professional Indemnity Insurance is provided by Direct Line Insurance © Copyright M Watson Accountancy Services Ltd 2025lang: en_US

We use Apron Capture extensively to prepare VAT returns, harnessing its powerful OCR technology to efficiently process invoices and receipts. This recognition highlights our commitment to digital innovation and accuracy in all our work. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for ITSA) was first announced in 2015 and has since been postponed several times. It is now scheduled to launch in April 2026. M Watson Accountancy Services is already well prepared for this upcoming change. As MTD for ITSA approaches, I will continue to work closely with my software providers and clients to ensure a smooth and fully compliant transition. MTD transition criteria will be based on your 2024/2025 Tax Return figures and determined by your total Self-Employed Income and Rental Income. If your combined gross income from these sources is £50,000 or more, you will need to enrol for MTD from April 2026. MTD does not currently apply to Partnerships, but it will apply to individual partners if they have Self-Employed or Rental Income outside of the Partnership. MTD does not currently apply to other individuals (for example, Company Directors) but it will apply if they have Self-Employed or Rental Income outside of the Directorship. MTD does not currently affect Limited Companies. MTD criteria will extend to those earning over £30,000 gross, based on the 2025/2026 Tax Return. MTD criteria will extend further to those earning over £20,000 gross, based on the 2026/2027 Tax Return. If you are required to join MTD, you must submit quarterly updates to HMRC using MTD-compatible software by the following deadlines: You must maintain digital records of your income and expenses - at the very least in a spreadsheet format, which can be uploaded through “bridging software.” If I am filing for you, I can provide recommended spreadsheet templates in due course. I can also take care of your quarterly submissions, following agreement of updated terms of business. If you already use your own accounting software, it is likely this will include built-in MTD filing capabilities. The requirement to file an annual Year-End Tax Return remains unchanged - this must still be submitted by 31st January following the end of the tax year. HMRC will introduce a new points-based penalty system for late or missed submissions. Over recent years, I had already begun preparing for MTD, as it was initially expected to go live earlier. If I handle your bookkeeping and quarterly MTD updates, then you are already set to go. For all others; I have invested in receipt-scanning equipment and intelligent accounting software, which some clients are already familiar with from their VAT submissions. If you prefer to continue maintaining your own bookkeeping, but would like me to file for you, you will need to ensure you use at least a spreadsheet that can be imported into my bridging software. I can provide compatible spreadsheet templates developed by my software providers, which you can email to me quarterly. I have already categorised all clients into those who will be affected at the outset, and those likely to be affected in 2027 and 2028. I will continue to monitor and update these categories accordingly. I will be working closely with all affected clients to ensure a smooth transition and full compliance with the MTD requirements. My Agent Services Account (ASA) is fully active and ready for MTD reporting. Your existing tax agent authority with me will be transferred to this system in preparation. Please note: HMRC has assured agents that this setup will not affect clients who are not yet required to join MTD - it simply allows agents to prepare in advance.
