Summer Newsletter
I am pleased to send you your copy of our summer newsletter which as usual includes a variety of topical tax issues. Now that the second Budget date has been announced, 22 June 2010, we will keep a careful watch for any new developments but it looks like tax matters will continue to be top of the list in discussions through to autumn and beyond.
Were you aware that expenditure on qualifying plant and machinery may obtain 100% tax relief? This means that investment in new equipment may provide you with useful tax savings. Our article ‘Making every £ count’ explains further whilst our article ‘Curiouser and curiouser’ highlights the importance of planning in order to maximise your claims.
Our article ‘Planned changes for childcare vouchers’ summarises the current position and outlines the proposed changes announced in the final session of the previous government. However, the new coalition government may have different ideas so the changes may change again.
We rarely produce a newsletter where HMRC doesn’t get a mention and this issue is no exception as they continue to target the construction industry sector. They also feature in our article ‘Relationship with records’ as the need to keep good records grows as do the consequences for not keeping them.
We also take a look at the tax implications of borrowings between a company and its director shareholders.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding any of the articles or tax planning tips 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.
