What Does the Health and Social Care Levy Mean for Me?

In a clear breaking of a manifesto pledge, Boris Johnson has announced a 1.25% tax levy, to be applied through National Insurance (NI) contributions and dividend taxation, to help plug a funding gap in NHS and social care spending. But what does this mean for you? How much extra will I pay? As an employee, […]

PAYG Tax for Self Employed?

As part of the continued push towards a fully digitised tax system, plans have been outlined by the Treasury for the self-employed to begin paying their taxes on a PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) basis. Currently, freelancers and the self-employed pay tax annually or bi-annually as part of the self-assessment tax return process and based on their actual […]

How can we reduce our corporation tax bill?

Nobody likes paying tax, whether via their business or personally and the question of ‘How can we reduce our corporation tax bill?’ is one we are faced with almost daily.

HMRC to reclaim incorrect pandemic support through tax returns

HMRC has announced that self-assessment tax returns for the 2020/21 tax year will contain a question relating to pandemic support as it seeks to recover incorrectly claimed monies. If you are required to complete a self-assessment tax return then you will recently have received a notice reminding you to complete your return for the tax […]

Digital Tax Accounts

The long-term ambition of Making Tax Digital is to simplify that tax system, speed up calculation and collection and also close loopholes that are estimated to cost the treasury up to £31bn a year in unpaid taxes. Whilst its phased rollout has been subject to delays and changes due to Covid and Brexit, Chancellor Rishi […]

Budget 2021

Perhaps it was the lack of wiggle room afforded to him or the fact that today’s Government is like a sieve when it comes to news of plans and ideas circulating around the cabinet table, but the lack of surprise elements in this week’s budget was probably, in itself, not a surprise.

2021 Budget – What to expect?

Having picked up the Treasury reins just weeks before the Covid pandemic broke, Chancellor Rishi Sunak has so far had little room to manoeuvre or stamp his own brand on the economic plan for the UK. Despite making numerous announcements and unveiling multiple recovery and support plans, his budget statement on March 3rd 2021 is […]

Chancellor Delivers Winter Economy Plan

Whilst there no longer appears to be anything that is truly unusual in the current climate, the Chancellor took the unusual decision to cancel November’s planned budget statement and delivered a Winter Economy Plan in its place.  This move once again underlines the lack of long-term certainty that the Covid pandemic is enforcing on the […]

Online Sales Tax to Level the Playing Field?

Early rumblings of an online sales tax bubbled to the surface last week when the Treasury issued a call for evidence as it reviews the changing face of consumer buying habits.

Changes to Primary Residence Tax Regime Could Help Raise Tax Receipts

A thinktank has suggested charging capital gains tax on primary residences as one potential form of taxation that could help the treasury fill the black hole in public finances left by Covid-19. At present, primary residences are only subject to stamp duty (excluding the current stamp duty holiday) and in some cases inheritance tax, where […]

IR35 Changes Should be Delayed Indefinitely

Planned rollout of IR35 legislation to the Private sector, which was due to take place on 6 April 2020, has met with renewed criticism, this time with the House of Lords requesting wholesale review of the measures. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the introduction of IR35 legislation to cover the private sector, has been put […]
