TAX PAYMENTSHMRC plans to make tax payable soonerThe government is planning a radical policy change to collect tax sooner. What’s the full story? |
BENEFITSThe benefits risk of company mobile phonesOne of our subscribers has just taken out a contract on the latest Samsung mobile phone. As she uses it mainly for work she wants to put the cost through her company. What are the tax consequences for her and her business? |
CAPITAL GAINS TAXAvoiding the CGT bed and breakfast anti-avoidance rulesTo prevent the use of “bed and breakfast” (B&B) trades as a tactic for reducing tax on gains made from the sale of shares, HMRC employs anti-avoidance rules. However, there’s a legitimate way around them. How does it work? |
PROFIT EXTRACTIONWhy fund your business from personal savings?As a money-making plan a friend has suggested lending some of your personal savings to your company. The idea is that it can pay you more interest than the bank does. It sounds interesting but are there troublesome tax consequences? |
LOSSESNew loss relief for unincorporated businessesThe temporary extension to the loss relief rules announced in Budget 2021 applies to unincorporated businesses and companies. If you’re a sole trader or a business partner, when are you entitled to claim the new relief? |
INHERITANCE TAX - GIFTSIs IHT payable on a gift you receive?A few years ago your father made a gift of assets to you to reduce his estate for inheritance tax (IHT) purposes. He recently died and his solicitor says that you might have to pay tax on the gift. If there’s any IHT shouldn’t the estate pay it? |
VATOptional remuneration arrangements and VATYou offer your staff an optional remuneration arrangement as an alternative to part of their salary. You’ve now been told that you must account for VAT on the value of the arrangement. Does this mean you owe HMRC a stack of cash? |
