Year 11 - issue 3 - 27.06.2024
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY SCHEMEChange to refund claim processThe construction industry scheme (CIS) requires contractors to withhold tax from subcontractors. As this is at a flat percentage, overpayments are common. How has HMRC’s refund process changed recently? |
BENEFITS AND EXPENSESWhat’s new for P11D filing?You’ve been asked to help some of your clients with P11D reporting for the first time in several years. What recent change do you need to be aware of, and why might a change to your clients’ reporting going forward be useful? |
GROUPSMoving property to a holding company: tax implicationsOne of your clients has recently put a holding company in place for asset protection purposes and is about to transfer a trading premises to it. What price should the transfer take place at, and what taxes do you need to consider? |
SALARY SACRIFICEHow can clients side-step the OpRA rules?The optional remuneration arrangement (OpRA) rules have been around for several years. They aim to cancel the tax and NI advantages offered by salary sacrifice schemes. But how can clients still secure these advantages for their employees? |
TRUSTSEnding a trust tax efficientlyYour client has had a discretionary trust for their children for many years. They are now adults, and following a ten-year charge the client wants to end the trust and distribute the assets to each of them. How can this be done without triggering a tax trap? |
INCOME TAXShould Scottish clients relocate?In 2024/25, Scotland has a six-tiered income tax rate system with a top rate of 48%. Will Scottish taxpayers be significantly worse off, and what other factors do clients need to consider if they are looking at relocating? |
VATVAT planning around registrationOne of your clients has left their job to start a new business and has asked you if they should register for VAT now, or wait until they have exceeded the compulsory registration threshold. What are the key issues to consider before reaching a decision? |
TAX CASESCan tribunal force HMRC to accept late claim? |
TAX CASESWas director’s loan correctly written off? |
