SDLTReclaim higher rate SDLT onlineHMRC has made it easier for anyone who pays the higher stamp duty land tax (SDLT) rate to claim a refund where the conditions are met. What’s the full story? |
SELF-ASSESSMENTIf you owe tax for 2023/24 act now to avoid a fineIf you think you owe tax for 2023/24 and you haven’t told HMRC about it or been asked to complete a self-assessment tax return, you’re at risk of a tax penalty unless you take action now. What do you need to do? |
CAPITAL ALLOWANCESBusiness incorporation - optimise relief for capital expensesYour business has grown significantly and so you’ve decided to transfer it to a limited company. This will trigger special rules for recalculating capital allowances that could result in an extra tax cost. What steps can you take to avoid this trap? |
EXPENSESMaximising tax efficiency for job expensesAs an owner manager of a company you frequently incur expenses during the course of your work. There are two methods for obtaining tax relief for these, but does one offer a tax or NI advantage over the other? |
RENTAL INCOMEDodge the tax trap for jointly owned propertyYou and your spouse receive income from a jointly owned buy-to-let property. Your spouse pays tax on the income at the basic rate while you pay at the higher rate. How can you improve your joint tax position? |
CORPORATION TAXThinking inside the (patent) boxPatent box is a valuable but little known tax break that can provide a corporation tax saving for innovating companies. Both small and large businesses can claim it. What are the requirements and how much tax can be saved? |
VATWhen can you make a late VAT claim?You paid one of your suppliers based on their delivery note but they haven’t provided a proper VAT invoice despite frequent requests. Can you go ahead and reclaim the VAT without the invoice and is there a time limit for this? |
