Become invaluable to your employer
|
|
|
|
|
Making yourself invaluable to your employer can offer so many rewards. When those promotions come around you’ll be first in line. If you need a bit more flexibility around working hours or working from home options you’re much more likely to get them when you ask. And should the worst happen and redundancies loom in your business you’re more likely to be one of the ‘safe’ ones.

HMRC to delay introduction of new digital services for individuals
|
|
|
|
|
HMRC has said its switch in focus to Brexit is the main reason why it is to delay plans to introduce more digital services for individuals.
HMRC has admitted it was ‘overly ambitious’ about the number of individuals who would stop contacting the department by phone and post after it introduced digital channels. At the same time, HMRC has been forced to prioritise EU exit work, including a major upgrade to the customs declaration system.

International - Malaysia to introduce sales and service tax after effectively scrapping GST
|
|
|
|
|
Malaysia said it will introduce a sales and service tax (SST) to partly offset the shortfall in revenue from effectively scrapping a goods and service tax (GST) from June.
The Mahathir Mohamad-led government, which won last week’s general election, said on Wednesday it would lower GST to zero percent from June 1. Ousted leader Najib Razak had introduced the tax in 2015 amid lower oil prices.
