MOTABILITY IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST A CAR
Did you know that the Motability Scheme can offer much more than simply leasing a car?
Depending on a person’s individual mobility needs, options may include:
• a car or electric vehicle
• a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV)
• a mobility scooter or powered wheelchair
• vehicle adaptations to meet individual needs
In some circumstances, financial support may also be available through the Motability Foundation towards a vehicle or adaptations, a WAV, independent driving solutions, bespoke passenger solutions or driving lessons.
There may also be support available if a person’s mobility needs change or if they lose their qualifying mobility allowance following a reassessment.
The most important thing is not to start by asking, “Which car should I choose?” but rather, “What support do I actually need?”
📞 If you are unsure where to start, please contact RK Accounting Ltd directly regarding Motability support.
Clear information. More possibilities.
🔄 Please share this information. Someone among your family, friends or wider community may be eligible for these options but simply may not know they are available.

⚡ ELECTRICITY – 0% VAT
From 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, qualifying domestic electricity in Great Britain is subject to 0% VAT instead of 5%.
Who does this apply to?
Households in England, Scotland and Wales. In certain circumstances, the 0% rate may also apply to small businesses, charities and residential care homes that previously qualified for the reduced 5% VAT rate on electricity.
What does this mean in practice?
The 5% VAT charge on qualifying electricity supplies will temporarily be removed. However, this does not necessarily mean that every household’s overall energy bill will fall. Your final bill will still depend on electricity prices, how much energy you use and your tariff.
🚬 NEW DUTY ON VA**NG LIQUIDS
From 1 October 2026, a new Va**ng Products Duty has also come into effect. This is a new duty on liquids intended for use in electronic ci******es, commonly known as vapes.
The duty is £2.20 per 10 ml of va**ng liquid.
It applies to va**ng liquids with or without ni****ne.
Who does this affect?
It is particularly important for businesses that manufacture va**ng liquids in the UK or import them into the UK. These businesses may now have additional HMRC registration, duty payment and product labelling requirements.
Consumers do not pay this duty directly to HMRC. However, the new duty may be reflected in the retail price of va**ng liquids.
📩 Do you run a business and are unsure whether these changes apply to you?
Contact RK Accounting Ltd and we can help you understand how the new rules may affect your business.

🏠 Do you own an empty property in England? Important changes are coming

The UK Government has announced reforms that will allow local councils to take action more quickly on homes that have been left empty for a long period of time.

Under the Empty Dwelling Management Order (EDMO) rules, a council can, in certain circumstances, take over the management of a privately owned empty property and bring it back into use.

📌 What is changing?

Currently, a property generally needs to have been completely unoccupied for at least 2 years before this procedure can apply. On 27 September 2026, the Government announced plans to reduce this period to 6 months.

⚠️ Important: this does not mean that a council can automatically “take your home” after six months.

✔️ You remain the legal owner of the property.
✔️ The council may take over its management, not its ownership.
✔️ A formal legal process and tribunal authorisation are required.
✔️ There are exemptions and circumstances in which an EDMO cannot be used.

If you own a property in England that is likely to remain empty for an extended period, it is worth being aware of these proposed changes and keeping an eye on when the new rules come into force.

HMRC has already started automatically registering people for MTD who are required to use it but have not yet signed up.

HMRC is using the information from your 2024/25 Self Assessment tax return to determine whether you need to be registered.

⚠️ So now is the time to check: does your tax return show your actual turnover?

If your return was submitted using provisional, estimated or incomplete figures, update it as soon as possible.

If, after the correction, your total self-employment and property turnover before expenses exceeds £50,000, you should also check your MTD registration position from 6 April 2026.

Don’t wait for an incorrect figure to become a problem. Check your information now.

📩 Not sure whether your tax return is correct or whether MTD applies to you? Contact RK Accounting Ltd – we can check it for you.
