Year 19 - issue 5 - 29.11.2018
PENALTIESHMRC to refund HICBC penaltiesThousands of penalties relating to the high income child benefit charge (HICBC) are to be reviewed by HMRC and may be repaid. Might you be in line for a refund? |
MAKING TAX DIGITALHMRC plans MTD delay for some businessesMaking Tax Digital for VAT (MTDfV) starts in earnest in several months. Virtually all registered businesses will have to comply, but not necessarily from 1 April 2019. What’s the start date for your business? |
LOANSLoans to directors - when do special charges not apply?A stiff tax for your company can arise if you borrow money from it. A colleague tells you it can be avoided if the loan is on commercial terms. Is she correct and are there other ways the tax bill might be dodged? |
CAPITAL GAINS TAXSelling your home - private residence relief slashedIn two stealthy moves, the Chancellor used the 2018 Budget to raise some extra capital gains tax from certain individuals when they sell their home. Could this include you? |
PROFIT EXTRACTIONWhen is a dividend taxable?Just before the end of the tax year you drew some cash from your company’s bank account for personal use. Now we’re in another tax year you intend to treat the payment as a dividend. When will you have to pay tax on it? |
PROPERTYGetting credit for foreign tax paid on rent from abroadYou own a property abroad which you let out. The foreign tax authorities charge you various taxes because you’re a landlord. How much of what you pay can be deducted from your UK tax bill? |
VATHow much VAT is payable on supplies to your workers?One of our subscribers runs a building firm. When equipment is no longer needed by the business he offers it to one of his subcontractors. He’s never accounted for VAT as he considers the items worthless. Is he wrong to do this? |
