Our sixth Accentuate by K3 Hub webinar of the year takes place on Friday 26th June 2026.

In this webinar, we will cover the latest VAT and employment tax considerations relating to property and construction and include a session on translating operational and financial data into meaningful action.

Key VAT and employment tax considerations relating to property & construction – 9.00am to 9.45am

Delivered by Damon Wright, Director, and Aaron Kendall, Assistant Manager, from K3 Tax Advisory, this session will focus on:

  • VAT liability of different supplies of land/buildings
  • Opting to tax otherwise exempt supplies
  • The impact of the Capital Goods Scheme
  • Recent changes to the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
    • Mandatory returns for contractors
    • Increased obligations for contractors on fraud prevention within CIS compliance
    • Tougher penalties and ramifications for contractors
  • HMRC CIS compliance checks and enquiries
  • The importance of acting early when considering registrations for CIS as a contractor and subcontractor and making gross payment status applications

The insight gap: why professional firms struggle to turn data into better decisions – 9.45am to 10.30am

Professional firms have access to more operational and financial data than ever before, yet many leadership teams still struggle to translate that information into meaningful action. Disconnected systems, inconsistent reporting and poor visibility often lead to slower decision-making, increased risk and missed growth opportunities.

In this session Sam Phillips, Founding Managing Director at K3 Advantage, will explore:

  • Why the gap between data and decision-making continues to exist across professional firms
  • What leading organisations are doing differently
  • The shift from retrospective reporting to forward-looking insight
  • The growing role of analytics and AI, and how firms can create greater visibility across performance, profitability and strategic risk
