In this episode of The Pet Accountant Podcast, Vicky and Lee break down some crucial tax tips every pet business owner should know.

They explain the upcoming Making Tax Digital changes and why it’s essential for anyone earning over £50,000 to get prepared before it becomes mandatory in April. From tax-saving strategies to common deductions for both sole traders and limited companies, this episode is packed with advice to help you keep more of your hard-earned money.

They also cover how social media can impact your professional image, for better or worse, and share simple actions to stay tax-efficient and compliant.

Key Takeaways:

• If your turnover is over £50,000, you need to prepare for Making Tax Digital before next April.
• Use trivial benefits to reward employees and reduce your tax bill.
• Don’t miss out on claiming 45p per mile for business mileage (up to 10,000 miles).
• Pension contributions can lower your tax liability by extending lower-rate tax bands.
• Employing family members can create tax-deductible expenses (within legal limits).
• Keep clear records of all business expenses to maximise deductions.
