January Comes Round Fast

Every year, small-business owners promise to be more organised. Then December hits, and HMRC reminders start arriving. Let’s fix that early.

Key 2025 Dates to Note

  • 31 January 2025: Self Assessment tax return and payment due.
  • VAT Returns: 1 month + 7 days after the end of each VAT quarter.
  • Corporation Tax: 9 months + 1 day after your accounting period ends.

Miss one and you risk penalties — or a nasty cash crunch.

Plan Now, Relax Later

Set up automatic tax pots in Money Squirrel. As payments arrive, VAT and Corporation Tax shares are ring-fenced automatically. You’ll know months in advance exactly what’s owed.

Bonus: Build a Buffer

Create a “rainy-day” pot for emergencies or quiet months. The same automation handles it — you just pick a percentage.

Avoid the January panic — start now.
