The choice of a suitable business medium, for example, sole trader, partnership or limited company may have a substantial impact on the level of reliefs, allowances and tax levied on you and your business. It is therefore essential to review the key issues to enable you to minimise tax liabilities. The briefing also introduces the issues which impact on changing your business structure fromunincorporated to a company.

Holiday Entitlement Calculation Chart

Alistair — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:11:33 +0000

If your holiday entitlement year runs from 1st April to 31st March then the new holiday entitlement will become 5.6 weeks. For example if you work 3 days a week then you will be entitled to 5.6 x 3 = 16.8 days statutory holiday (which includes statutory bank holidays). However if your holiday year runs from a different month to April, then you may find that it spans the previous statutory entitlement with the new statutory entitlement. If this is the case you will be able to calculate how much holiday you are entitled to using our Holiday entitlement calculation chart
