Newsletter - Winter 2011

Welcome to our winter newsletter

Our newsletter includes positive news relating to tax and business. For instance, are you involved in one of the three million unincorporated businesses in the UK? If so read our article ‘Let’s make it simple’ which details the work the Office of Tax Simplification is doing in looking at alternatives to help small businesses. The Government are also looking to help companies through the Enterprise Investment Scheme. ‘Encouraging Enterprise’ will tell you more about how you or your company could benefit.

There is also good news when it comes to research and development. ‘Research – the sky’s the limit’ looks at the details of this tax incentive.

Changes to capital allowances come into force in April 2012. ‘Act now for allowances!’ will help you assess the impact on your business.

Turning to VAT matters, we look at a change in the VAT position affecting some salary sacrifice schemes, so make sure you have it covered. We also focus on one of HMRC’s VAT toolkits designed to help you file accurate returns! And finally on the personal tax front, our newsletter covers ‘Changes ahead for non-doms’.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding any of the articles we have included in our newsletter or if you would like further information on a topic we haven’t covered. Your views are always important to us and we would welcome any feedback you could give us.
