Year 19 - issue 9 - 0907.02.2019
MAKING TAX DIGITAL - VATAlert over old-style VAT returnsUnder Making Tax Digital for VAT (MTDfV) you won’t be able to submit returns using HMRC’s existing system, known as the portal site. Where does that leave you if you later need to correct a return? |
CORPORATION TAXWill your company qualify for the new “goodwill” relief?The 2018 Budget included a proposal to introduce a new relief for intangible assets including goodwill. The new relief will be allowed from April 2019. Will you qualify if you acquired the asset prior to this? |
EXPENSESFlat rate travel expenses - HMRC’s hidden trapYou use HMRC’s approved benchmark rates when you pay your employees for subsistence when they travel for work. The trouble is, if you follow HMRC’s latest advice you may be costing yourself VAT. What’s the full story? |
PROPERTYHave you missed out on tax loss reliefs?You let out a property for several years, but as it was loss making you didn’t declare it to HMRC. It’s now started turning a profit but you’ve been advised that because you didn’t declare the losses it’s too late to use them. Is this correct? |
CAPITAL ALLOWANCESHMRC’s spin on repair costsNothing lasts forever, but with timely repairs you can extend the life of machinery and other equipment used in your business. However, getting a tax deduction for the repair cost isn’t always straightforward. What’s the problem? |
CAPITAL GAINS TAXSelling an asset - tax relief for those little extrasThe negotiations for selling your company have been long-winded and costly. Your accountant, solicitor and a tax expert have weighed in with hefty bills. What proportion of these expenses can you deduct from your capital gains tax bill? |
INHERITANCE TAXIs there IHT on the gift of family holiday home?A director shareholder is retiring and his company is being liquidated. He’s suggested to the other shareholders (family members) that the proceeds are used to buy a holiday home they can all use. What’s the inheritance tax (IHT) position? |
HMRCADR - when can you use it? |
