The measure is intended to improve the reliability of information on the UK’s company register and support efforts to reduce economic crime.November 12, 2025From 18 November 2025, identity verification with Companies House will start to be required for company directors and People with Significant Control (PSCs). The measure is intended to improve the reliability of information on the UK’s company register and support efforts to reduce economic crime. The identity verification process was introduced on a voluntary basis in April 2025. According to Companies House, more than one million individuals have completed verification since then. Companies House Chief Executive, Andy King, described the milestone as significant, saying: “Identity verification will help make sure that the people setting up and running companies are who they say they are. This will make our data more reliable and less open to misuse, supporting a more transparent and trusted business environment.” When to verify The specific date by which each director or PSC needs to verify their identity varies. Companies House says it will contact each company directly with this information. Broadly, the requirements are as follows: Directors Existing directors of companies will need to verify their identity as part of their company’s next confirmation statement from 18 November 2025. This will need to be done for each company if you are a director of more than one entity. If you are registering a new company that you will be a director of, you will need to verify your identity as part of the registration process. - PSCs If you are a PSC, as well as a director of the same company, you need to verify your identity for your PSC role as well as your director role. Verifying for your PSC role will need to be done within 14 days of the company’s confirmation statement date. If you are a PSC but not a director of the same company, then you will be required to verify within the first 14 days of your birth month. For example, if your date of birth is 20 December, your 14-day period begins on 1 December. If you become a PSC after 18 November 2025, you need to verify within 14 days of being added to the Companies House register. How to verify Verification can be carried out in one of two ways: directly through Companies House using GOV.UK One Login, or via an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) such as our firm. Verified individuals will receive a personal code through the service. They will then need to provide this personal code and a verification statement for each company role they hold. Other roles Companies House plan to introduce identity verification for other roles in the future. This will include limited partnerships and corporate directors. If you need any help verifying your identity or that of others for your company, please give us a call. We would be happy to help you!

What is Making Tax Digital? Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is a new way for sole traders and landlords to provide their business accounts and tax information to HMRC. It involves using software to maintain digital accounting records and then submit reports to HMRC each quarter. From 6 April 2026, Making Tax Digital will be mandatory for almost all sole traders and landlords who had gross income over £50,000 in the 2024/25 tax year. Why have you received a letter? If your 2024/25 tax return has already been filed and your total gross income from self-employment and/or rental income is more than £50,000, then HMRC are likely to have written to you. It is worth noting that even if HMRC have not sent you a letter but your income from self-employment and/or rental income for the 2024/25 tax year is more than £50,000, you will still be required to follow the new Making Tax Digital rules from next April. What to do next A small minority of taxpayers may be exempt from the new rules, so you may want to check this first. For instance, if it is not reasonable for you to use software to keep digital records or submit them to HMRC, it is possible to apply for exemption. HMRC would then confirm whether they accept your application. Otherwise, you will need to: Choose compatible software to keep the digital records needed for the new system. If you already use software to manage your accounting information, check with your provider that the software is ready for Making Tax Digital. Sign up on GOV.UK for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. If you need any help with signing up, choosing software or submitting reports to HMRC, please get in touch. We can offer you anything from tailored advice to a full Making Tax Digital service designed to give you peace of mind.November 17, 2025UK Unemployment Rises to 5% as Job Market Shows Signs of StrainThe UK unemployment rate has risen to 5% in the three months to September, the highest since early 2021, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Our practice is constantly expanding and our motto here is: Business is great and we are looking for more!Our clients range from sole traders through to medium sized limited companies and we are particularly active in advising Owner Managed Businesses and high net worth private individuals. In terms of location our clients tend to be spread throughout the South East of England, usually in Essex and within the M25 area.Of course, we do still provide the traditional compliance based audit, accounts and taxation services that you would expect from any local accountancy practice. But take a look at the Our Services section to discover the additional facilities we can offer you and your business.
