Year 25 - issue 7 - 09.01.2025
MAKING TAX DIGITALMTD ITSA - another step closerHMRC has picked up the pace on using Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD ITSA). Its new guidance explains how to join the scheme part way through a tax year. Is now the time for you to get on board? |
BUSINESS RATESBusiness rates reform - where are we now?You need to delve into the small print of the Autumn Budget to find details of changes to the business rates. You’ll find that instead of the promised help for high-street businesses many will face higher charges in April 2025. What’s the full story? |
PROFIT EXTRACTIONExtracting extra income from your companyIt’s that time when the Christmas financial hangover hits and your self-assessment bill is on the way, so you might need a little extra from your company to get you through. What are the most tax-efficient options? |
E-COMMERCESelling online - what’s HMRC’s latest guidance?Recently published guidance which suggests that as an online seller you may have to report to HMRC even if you’re selling personal possessions you no longer want. Is this actually true? |
INHERITANCE TAXFarms and IHT - what’s really happening?The media is full of calamitous headlines about the so-called “tractor tax” but is short on details. If you’re a farmer or landowner, what might the inheritance tax (IHT) changes really mean to you and how might you mitigate the impact? |
TAX INCENTIVESDirectors and EIS investmentsUsually directors are excluded from investing in their companies to benefit from the associated tax breaks through the enterprise investment scheme (EIS). However, there are exceptions. How can you take advantage of these? |
VATSingle sales with multiple suppliesYour business sells online and printed books, documents, etc. but includes corresponding interactive services. You zero-rate all sales but your new bookkeeper says the helpline etc. service should be standard-rated. Is she correct? |
PAYROLLOff-payroll thresholds increasing |
SCOTTISH BUDGETLittle change for Scottish taxpayers |
