Our approach
Straight answers from people who know your file
A & S Consultants is a local accountancy practice based on High Road in Chadwell Heath. We work with people who would rather be running their business than reconciling it — and we explain things in plain English, not jargon.

- Records kept digital and ready for Making Tax Digital
- Deadlines mapped out early, so nothing arrives as a surprise
- Meet us in Chadwell Heath by appointment, or work with us remotely
How it works
Getting started takes three steps
-
01
Tell us about the business
A short conversation about what you do, how the records are kept now and what is coming up.
-
02
We set things up
We agree the work and the fee in writing, handle the changeover from any previous accountant, and get the software in order.
-
03
We keep it running
Returns and filings are prepared through the year, with the dates that matter flagged to you in advance.
Who we work with
Smaller businesses, and the people who run them
Most of our work is for owner-managed businesses and individuals across east London and Essex.
Sole traders & freelancers
Self Assessment, expenses and a record-keeping routine that fits around the actual work.
Landlords & property
Rental income and allowable costs, whether it is one flat or a portfolio held personally or in a company.
Construction & CIS
Contractor and subcontractor returns, CIS deductions, and payroll for the people on the books.
Shops & online sellers
Takings, stock and marketplace payouts reconciled, with VAT handled as the business grows.
Limited companies
Company accounts, corporation tax, director payroll and the filings Companies House expects.
New businesses
Choosing a structure, getting registered, and starting with a bookkeeping habit that holds up later.
Key dates
Your tax year at a glance
The personal tax year runs from one 6 April to the next. These are the points in it that catch people out.
-
6 April
New tax year begins
The year just ended is now the one you report on.
-
31 July
Second payment on account
Due if you make payments on account towards next year’s bill.
-
5 October
Register for Self Assessment
The deadline to tell HMRC if you are new to filing a return.
-
31 October
Paper return deadline
Only if you file on paper. Filing online gives you until January.
-
31 January
Online return and payment
The return, the balancing payment and the first payment on account.
Company deadlines run on your own year end instead: accounts are normally due nine months after it, and corporation tax nine months and a day after. Dates shown for general guidance and correct at 30 September 2026 — check GOV.UK, or ask us, before you act on them.
Making Tax Digital
The threshold is coming down each year
If you are self-employed or a landlord, this is the change that affects how you keep records — not how much tax you pay. It starts once your combined self-employment and property income passes the threshold for that year.
- Records kept digitally, rather than in a book or a spreadsheet at the year end
- Updates sent to HMRC through the year, not just once after it
- Software that is compatible with HMRC, set up and reconciled for you
Thresholds and dates as announced and correct at 30 September 2026. They are set by government and can change — check GOV.UK, or ask us, before acting.
