Protection & Support

Tax Investigations

HMRC no longer needs a reason to open an enquiry into your business or personal affairs — everyone is at risk. 46% of VAT control visits result in additional tax being payable.

Our experienced team will review your records, liaise directly with HMRC on your behalf and fight your corner — keeping you informed at every step. We also offer an insurance-backed fee protection service for subscribers.

Digital Tax Compliance

Making Tax Digital

Making Tax Digital is HMRC's move towards digital record keeping and software-based tax reporting. VAT-registered businesses already need to keep digital VAT records and submit VAT returns through compatible software.

From 6 April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax starts to apply to sole traders and landlords with qualifying self-employment and property income over £50,000. The threshold reduces to over £30,000 from April 2027 and over £20,000 from April 2028.

We help clients understand when the rules apply, choose the right software, organise digital records and prepare for quarterly HMRC updates without turning tax admin into a distraction from running the business.

What You Need To Know

  • Digital records must be kept in compatible software, not just paper files or disconnected spreadsheets
  • VAT-registered businesses should already be using MTD-compatible VAT software
  • Sole traders and landlords may need quarterly income and expense updates from April 2026 onwards
  • Qualifying income is based on gross self-employment and property income before expenses
  • Good setup now reduces year-end pressure, filing risk and avoidable HMRC problems later
  • AKR can review your position, advise on software and support the ongoing submission process

Auto Enrolment — What Employers Must Do

  • Assess your workforce and identify eligible employees
  • Choose and set up a qualifying pension scheme
  • Automatically enrol all eligible jobholders
  • Write to employees explaining the changes
  • Pay contributions into the scheme on time
  • Register with The Pensions Regulator & submit declaration of compliance
We'll handle all of this for you →
Employer Obligations

Pensions & Auto Enrolment

Workplace pension auto enrolment is a legal requirement for all UK employers. The rules are complex and penalties for non-compliance are severe — but we can manage everything on your behalf.

From workforce assessment and scheme selection to ongoing administration and employee communications, our team ensures you meet all your obligations without it becoming a burden on your business.
