In the most recent issue you'll find advice on...
Year 21 - issue 8 - 22.01.2020
TAX - IR35IR35 changes will be reviewedIn the run up to the general election the government hinted it would review the IR35 rules scheduled to take effect in April 2020. The scope of the review has now been announced. What’s the full story? |
STAFF MOTIVATIONHow to keep staff fresh in 2020Christmas is behind us and you’re now worried about keeping staff motivated in the new year. What’s the best way to improve morale in January and ensure productivity doesn’t fall after the festive binge? |
TAX - EXPENSESTax relief for company assets used for advertisingYou drive and sometimes race go-karts as a hobby. A friend says that simply by displaying your company’s name and logo on your kart you’ll be entitled to a tax deduction and can reclaim the VAT paid on the cost of your hobby. Is this correct? |
FINANCIAL SERVICESBanking or insurance complaint?The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) used to only deal with complaints made by the very smallest companies. However, its reach has been expanded to cover more businesses. How does the new system work? |
TAX - COMPANY CARSHow tax efficient are electric company cars?Electrically powered cars are now not only environmentally friendly but practical too. Plus, there’s now a decent range to choose from with more on the way. But how do they stack up for tax purposes against their fossil fuel equivalents? |
DIRECTORSImprisonment and disqualification for rogue directorOne disqualification order would be enough to make most people seek a different profession or play by the rules in future. However, some rogue directors never learn, as a recent Insolvency Service prosecution illustrates. Why was this director imprisoned and disqualified all over again? |
PERSONNELAre disciplinary investigation meetings mandatory?You suspect that an employee has committed an act of misconduct. Must you hold a separate investigation meeting with them, or can you move straight to a disciplinary hearing? |
CONTRACTSIt’s 2020 - don’t shorten it to 20! |
