Tax or Treat? Face your financial frights this Halloween!

Tax or Treat? Face your financial frights this Halloween!

Many people, especially children, love the thrill of being scared and startled by ghosts, witches, and vampires at Halloween. While many enjoy the fear and excitement associated with this horror-filled holiday, don’t let your taxes and financial future bring you a fright this Halloween.

Let’s face our financial ghosts during this spooky season!

Here at Kennedys Accounting we know that dealing with taxes can make some people shake, metaphorically speaking, and what doesn’t scare one person is bound to unnerve another.

Some people confess to being too frightened to open their letters from HMRC; others put off doing their tax returns because they are just one headache of a mess. Taxes are for many a haunting and shadowy prospect – but they don’t need to be!

Here at Kennedys Accounting, there are no ‘tricks’, and instead we encourage our customers to follow a few simple steps and with a little professional help from us, you’ll be on top of your taxes in no time – which may even feel like a ‘treat’. Here are a few ‘treats’ you could try…..

• The more you know about a subject, the less daunting it becomes.  This principle holds true with tax, which many people see as a complicated financial activity, fraught with uncertainty and danger. Speak to one of our team here at Kennedys Accounting, they will be pleased to help.
• Practice makes perfect. Some financial tasks get scarier the longer we avoid them. Get a routine for reviewing your personal and business finances, keep a calendar with key dates and deadlines and before you know it you’ll be back on track – we will also send reminders for all key dates automatically for our clients.
• Plan for the unexpected. Having money set aside and planning for payments or emergencies is generally advised, while it won’t necessarily prevent what you fear most from happening, it will enable you to survive those events.
• Don’t go it alone – we are here to help, and we’re not scary.  The tax world can be a dark and murky place to the uninitiated, but when you have an experienced and trusted companion at your side, you will be prepared to deal with the most complex challenges.

So, give us a call here at Kennedys Accounting – we will help make your tax a treat, rather than it feeling like trickery!!
