In the most recent issue you'll find advice on...
Year 18 - issue 14 - 19.04.2018
TRUSTSHMRC’s trust registration debacleHMRC has made a mess of the new trust registration. It’s had to push back the deadline twice and many trusts still aren’t aware of the new requirements. If you’re involved with a trust what should you be doing? |
PROPERTYThe noose tightens on buy-to-let financePhasing in of the restriction for tax relief on finance costs began in 2017/18. The next stage takes effect on 6 April 2018. What do you need to know and how can you minimise the impact? |
CAPITAL ALLOWANCESGifts, capital allowances and tax-free moneyOne of our subscribers, the sole director shareholder of a company, asked us if she could claim a tax deduction for the new furniture her partner recently bought as a gift for her home office. What’s the answer? |
RAISING FINANCEAre you in time to use SEIS?You started a company a year ago, but it needs more money to properly get off the ground. A friend suggests that the seed enterprise investment scheme (SEIS) might help attract investors. Who can use it and what’s the time limit? |
PAYROLLTax dos and don’ts of employing casual workersWhen you employ casual labour for a short period you need to take special care when agreeing and processing their pay. A mistake could leave you on the wrong end of a tax and NI bill. What steps should you take to avoid this? |
PENSIONS - IHTInheritance tax on pension savingsYou’re approaching pension age but have decided you don’t need the income. You’ll instead leave it to accumulate for a while. However, you’ve been told that this can result in it becoming liable to IHT when you die. Is this correct? |
VATDon’t get caught by the “tax point” trapYou make continuous supplies of services to a customer, which occasionally includes associated goods. Can you account for the VAT on the goods at the same time as the services, or is it payable sooner? |
INVESTMENTSHelp-to-save scheme postponed |
TAX SCHEMESNew system for notifying tax-saving schemes |
