Free tax advice drop-in days announced at PM+M’s Blackburn and Bury offices

PM+M - the Blackburn and Bury-based chartered accountancy, business advisory and financial planning group - is opening its doors this September to help people get ready for the government’s new digital tax system.

The team is hosting two free drop-in days for anyone who wants advice on Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for ITSA).

Whether you’re a sole trader, a landlord, part of a finance team, or just curious about what the changes mean, PM+M’s specialists will be on hand to answer questions and share practical tips. There’s no need to book, just call in for a chat.

The drop-in days will be taking place on Thursday 25th September, from 10am to 4pm at the Blackburn office (New Century House, Greenbank Technology Park, Challenge Way, Blackburn, BB1 5Q), and on Tuesday 30th September, from 10am to 4pm at the Bury office (First Floor, Sandringham House, Hollins Brook Park, Pilsworth Road, Bury, BL9 8RN).

On both days, visitors will be able to find out how MTD for ITSA affects them and their business; what digital records they’ll need to keep; how to get started with compliant software; the best cloud-based tools to suit their needs; and how to make the move from traditional to digital accounting as smooth as possible.

Rosie Cooper, director of the Cloud Accounting team at PM+M, said: “Making Tax Digital is a big change, and we know many people are worried about what it means for them.

"These sessions are about taking the stress out of it. We’ll be here to talk through the rules in plain English, help people find the right digital tools, and make sure they’re set up for success. With fines for non-compliance on the rise, it’s important for people to get ahead of the changes. Everyone’s welcome, and you don’t have to be a PM+M client to come along.”
