Not long to go now, and everyone at Essendon Accounts & Tax is looking forward to a well-deserved break over Christmas. We will be closing at 1pm on Wednesday the 24th of December 2025, returning at 8am on Tuesday the 5th of January 2026 ...

Merry Christmas bells ring, Joyful carols fill the air, Love and accounting we bring

Don't forget that the self-assessment tax return deadline on January 31st will come around very quickly, so use your own break wisely to get ahead of the game. Late filing can result in a £100 penalty.

Don't be one of the 14% of people who filed
their tax returns late!

No new blog post on actual Christmas day, and we'll recycle some older blog posts next week (without sending mailers), and back in the New Year with fresh posts.

Merry Christmas to you all, and let's all have a very happy New Year!

Until next time ...
