Making Tax Digital / Tax Webinar
Otis Tax
If you're a freelance creative earning over £30,000 a year, there's a significant change coming to how you report your income to HMRC. It's called Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, and depending on your turnover, it affects you between April 2026 and April 2028. We are running a free online workshop to explain what this means in practice – especially for creative businesses where income is irregular and "quarterly reporting" sounds like it was designed for someone else's work. What's changing Instead of one annual Self Assessment return, you'll keep digital records and send quarterly updates to HMRC using approved software. Your actual tax bill doesn't change – you still pay by 31 January – but the reporting rhythm shifts. The timeline: April 2026: applies if your gross income exceeds £50,000 April 2027: threshold drops to £30,000 April 2028: expected to drop to £20,000 This is based on gross income (turnover before expenses), not profit. So if you invoice £35,000 but your profit is £18,000, you're within scope from April 2027. What we'll cover How quarterly updates actually work and what information you'll submit Software options that integrate with HMRC, including free and low-cost tools Managing irregular income within a quarterly reporting system Common creative expenses: studio space, equipment, materials, professional development The cash basis versus traditional accounting (and why the default might work better) The year-one penalty waiver and what HMRC expects during transition Why this might be useful Most creative freelancers I speak with haven't heard about Making Tax Digital yet, or assume it's for larger businesses. It's not – it's specifically aimed at sole traders, which includes most creative freelancers. Once you understand what's required, it's manageable. The quarterly rhythm can actually help you track finances better throughout the year. But the transition needs planning, particularly around software and establishing new habits. This workshop simply demystifies the process, with clear information about what's changing and what your options are.

Cripping Culture Community Call Out
Disability Arts Online (DAO)
Disability Arts Online (DAO) has launched an open call for contributions for national project Cripping Culture: A Journey into Disability Arts Heritage DAO would like to hear about the most significant disability arts projects and events that you’ve been involved in or experienced. We want to know how they contributed to both your life and the Disability Arts movement. These will play an important part in the stories told through the Cripping Culture project, saving our heritage for future generations. Your contribution could be about an event, show or exhibition you attended, something you read, an artist you met, an organisation you were involved with or anything else related to disability arts. This could be submitted in text, video, audio or photo format. All contributions will be reviewed and used to inform our research for the project. They may also be used as part of our interactive digital timeline. If this is the case, we will be in touch to discuss your submission further. You might be an artist, writer, producer, performer, curator, musician, activist or audience member. It doesn’t matter who you are, as long as you have a story to tell that involves disability arts in the UK. It is important that we capture stories and events from all regions of the UK that may previously have been missed to celebrate the vast breadth of disability arts activity that has occurred across time. We are especially keen to hear from people who are part of the global majority, have intersectional experiences of disability, and/or can tell stories from regions that are currently underrepresented in collections or narratives.
