| Self Assessment deadline, 31 January | Last-minute tips, common mistakes and penalties. |
| New tax year, 6 April | What changes for workers, landlords and businesses. |
| Budget and fiscal events | Fast, clear reaction on what it means for real people. |
| Making Tax Digital changes | Practical guidance for sole traders and landlords. |
| Year-end and payroll season | Advice for small business owners. |
Three ways to become the go-to voice
PR within professional rules
Client confidentiality. Never share client details without written consent. Use anonymised examples.
Professional standards. Members of bodies such as ICAEW and ACCA must keep public statements honest and avoid misleading claims.
General, not personal advice. Media comments should make clear that readers’ situations differ.
Business and finance titles in our network
Most money and business coverage is earned. Next to that, you can book features in titles from our publication network, such as Entrepreneur UK, London Loves Business, The European Financial Review and ABC Money. Booked features go live within 14 days of approval or you get a 100% refund.
Listed in our network, October 2026. Terms, including link treatment, are confirmed in writing before you book. Google asks that paid links are marked as sponsored or nofollow.
