Auto enrolment: Key messages June 2018
|
|
|
|
|
If your clients have recently become an employer, it’s important they don’t forget to tell The Pensions Regulator who their nominated key point of contact is.
Research by The Pensions Regulator indicates that employers who nominate a key point of contact are more likely to comply with their duties and less likely to be fined. Nominating a contact also means that The Pensions Regulator can keep in touch with helpful reminders.

No safe havens: tackling offshore tax evasion
|
|
|
|
|
The UK government’s current ‘No Safe Havens’ strategy aims to ensure there are no jurisdictions where UK taxpayers feel safe to hide their income and assets from the taxman. It also wants would-be offshore evaders to understand that in future the risks and punishments for evasion will become too great. With this in mind, new vigorously enforced sanctions are part of the plan.

Have you considered Tax Fee Protection Insurance for your clients?
|
|
|
|
|
The majority of large practices have Tax Fee Protection schemes and have done for many years. However only 35% of small to medium firms have a scheme, but that figure is growing rapidly as HMRC become more and more active in the pursuit of tax, using the many enquiry powers they now have at their disposal.

The Word from Sarah: Bookkeeping – a recession proof business?
|
|
|
|
|
In her regular feature, Sarah Palmer tackles the issues that matter.
As bookkeepers we are especially well positioned to observe the financial climate and from what I see I believe we are heading back into recession. I have had a few clients already affected by a downturn in business, one who provides training to the corporates (employee training is always a first to be cut in uncertain times) and my estate agents are showing signs of a slow down. Combine this with the typical early recessions markers, such as a rise in fuel prices and it seams fairly obvious to me that the economy is only going one way.

European Union leaders are expected to call for progress on new rules to tax companies’ digital revenues at a summit next week in Brussels, according to draft conclusions of the meeting.
