Year 19 - issue 14 - 18.04.2019
MAKING TAX DIGITALMTD - how late can you leave it?HMRC has updated its guidance about when you must start the Making Tax Digital for VAT (MTDfV) registration process to ensure that you aren’t late. How long have you got? |
IR35High profile case raises questions about IR35With just a year before a sea change in the IR35 rules is due to take effect, the tribunal’s latest judgment highlights the difficulties that businesses will have in deciding whether it applies. What’s the full story? |
PENSIONSLimitless pension contributionsWhile getting your business off the ground you neglected your pension savings. You want to make up for it now but your advisor tells you that the annual contribution limits will prevent this. Is there a way around them? |
TERMINATION PAYTwo jobs - redundancy pay for one onlyAn employee has two roles under two separate contracts with the same employer. He’s being made redundant from one job (the other is continuing). Should his employer apply the usual exemption to the redundancy pay? |
BENEFITSNow’s the time to turn back the clock on taxable perksIn 2018/19 your company provided you with benefits in kind. As it stands you’ll be taxed on them and your company will have to pay Class 1A NI. There’s still time to prevent these charges. How’s it done and is it worth it? |
COMPANY TAXEIS timing trap for companiesThe enterprise investment scheme (EIS) is a great way to encourage investment in your company, but there are conditions. One involves funding received while the company is relatively young. How can you extend this period? |
VATThe trouble with mixed suppliesDetermining how much VAT to charge on a mixed supply can be tricky and is made more difficult by HMRC’s aggressive stance. What steps can you take to stay within the rules? |
SCAMSUpdated guidance about scams |
