HMRC’s compliance activity is becoming more data-driven, more digital, and more targeted. For SMEs, that may mean: • Greater scrutiny through analytics • Increased Making Tax Digital obligations • Higher penalties for inaccuracies and late submissions • More proactive compliance checks The reality? Compliance becomes an ongoing operational responsibility. In our latest article, we break down the key HMRC enforcement and compliance trends SMEs need to watch in 2026 — and, more importantly, what practical steps you can take now to reduce risk. We also explore how modern digital systems and AI-enabled processes can support stronger compliance frameworks — not replacing accountants, but strengthening oversight and reducing costly errors. We’re fortunate to be connected with experienced tax advisers, compliance specialists, and AI solution providers who genuinely understand SME pressures. If you’d like to review your current compliance setup or sanity-check whether you’re prepared for 2026, we’re always happy to have a confidential conversation and connect you with the right expertise. 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/e6d_bNnW #SMEs #TaxCompliance #HMRC #MakingTaxDigital #BusinessGrowth #AIforBusiness #UKBusiness

Is the traditional MSP model still fit for purpose? That was one of the central questions explored in our recent Moore Kingston Smith IT Services webinar – and the answer, unsurprisingly, is nuanced. While UK IT services deal volumes remain resilient, outcomes are becoming increasingly polarised. A small group of specialist, well run businesses continue to attract strong buyer interest and premium valuations, while more traditional, undifferentiated MSP models are finding organic growth – and exits – far tougher than they were just a few years ago. A few key takeaways from the discussion: • The market hasn’t slowed – it has split Demand remains strong for cyber security and specialist consultancies. Generalist MSPs without a clear proposition or growth engine are under pressure. • Buy and build doesn’t work without organic growth Scale, synergies and leverage can only take you so far. Buyers are now interrogating customer level data to understand how growth is really generated and sustained. • Differentiation drives returns, not multiple arbitrage As debt becomes more expensive, investment returns are being earned through quality: clear specialism, embedded security capability and AI enabled operating models. • Predictability is the new differentiator Strong governance, cyber resilience and clear contractual structures are no longer hygiene factors – they are directly influencing valuations and deal terms. Across the panel, one message came through consistently: growth alone is no longer enough. The MSPs commanding premium outcomes are those combining organic growth with discipline – in delivery, pricing, data, governance and customer understanding. For leadership teams, the most practical step is deceptively simple: create the space to step back and ask whether the business is genuinely exit ready – not just busy. Thanks to Tom Jones (Focus Group), Roshan Puri (YFM Equity Partners), James Paton-Philip (Hill Dickinson LLP) and Nick Thompson (Moore Kingston Smith) for a thoughtful and candid discussion.

A remote IT contractor's allowable expenses: 10 must-claims in 2026 With employees set to lose work-from-home tax relief from April 2026, remote IT contractors operating through a limited company can still claim allowable business expenses, subject to HMRC rules. In this piece for ContractorUK, Lauren Monks, director at Dolan Accountancy, sets out 10 allowable expenses that HMRC recognises for contractors who work remotely — including equipment, software, subscriptions, training, insurance and home-working costs. Expense claims remain available to contractors in 2026, but must be made in line with HMRC guidance. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEFXw28j

I just wanted to share a fantastic opportunity that might be of interest to anyone responsible for or working with archives, libraries or heritage collections. TownsWeb Archiving have opened applications for their Digitisation Grant – offering funding support to the digitisation of bound volumes, photographs and archive materials. This could be a real game-changer for organisations who know they need to do something to ensure their archives are preserved for future generations however just don’t have the budget to make it happen. To be very clear – this isn’t connected to me or MEMNON in any way, I just think it’s a brilliant initiative and I know there are so many incredible archives out there that could benefit from a little extra support to help bring their collections to live digitally. If you are responsible for an archive and have a project you’ve been trying to get off the ground (or across the finish line) this might be worth checking out! #Digitisation #Archives #DigitalPreservation #TownsWebbGrant #CulturalHeritage #ArchiveFunding

HMRC's stance on AI is surprisingly supportive, allowing its use as long as a qualified professional oversees and validates the outputs. This is a practical approach, akin to allowing calculators in real-world scenarios. AI offers the potential to streamline services and improve accuracy, but professional oversight is crucial to ensure reliability. The integration of AI, when coupled with expert validation, can lead to greater efficiency and better client service. #AIinTax #HMRC #AccountingTech #Efficiency #ClientService
