Hello,
Was a Heathrow hotel stay between long-haul flights a taxable benefit for British Airways cabin crew, given that Heathrow was their home base? In HMRC v British Airways Plc (BA), around £5.8m of tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) turned on that question.
Hello,
Did the Addison Lee founder's father make England his permanent home more than 60 years ago? In Sir John Griffin v HMRC, over £20 million of Income Tax turned on that question. This week, our summary explains how a father's domicile could still determine his son's tax position decades later and why the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) would have found against Sir John anyway. While the non-domicile regime ended in April 2025, disputes over earlier years are very much alive.
Hello,
Much of this week’s tax news is driven by HMRC’s September 2026 Agent Update. Agents should note that the final activation window for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) begins on 28 September. Our guide shows how to prepare and what to expect. The update also details a change to how Winter Fuel Payments will be recovered that could affect some clients' tax codes from January 2027.
Hello,
VAT features heavily this week, with HMRC publishing three Revenue & Customs briefs in quick succession. Elsewhere, the date for the next Scottish Budget has been announced, and HMRC have provided some long-awaited clarification on completing tax returns for directors.
Hello,
HMRC have published their latest Agent Update. As usual, this contains a lot of content, including confirmation that the issuing of Corporation Tax late-filing penalty notices has now resumed after being paused for a systems update. It also provides guidance on what to do if a business missed the first quarterly Making Tax Digital update deadline.
Hello,
It's a week of housekeeping for agents. The voluntary registration period for HMRC's Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) has now closed, revised advisory fuel rates apply from 1 September and HMRC want agents' views on a proposed digital service for reporting PAYE coding changes. We also cover the latest guidance for taxpayers who HMRC automatically sign up to Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax.
