Email scammers are trying to take advantage of HMRC's processes for verification of tax agent identity by sending out phishing emails that claim to be from HMRC's Agent Service. A new email purporting to come from HMRC directs agents to click on a link back to the scammers which could easily fool people reading on a small screen. Can you spot what's wrong?

Hello,

This time we have a new Employer Bulletin from HMRC and a CPD special on Partnerships: What's New 2024-25. We also look at snail farming and business rates relief, Uber's VAT, what it means to be a child and there is good news for employers, the reporting of employee hours is deferred for now. 

Hello,

Our highlights this week include a briefing on the reporting obligations for digital platforms. We have posted a reminder for ICAEW firms: the PI insurance rules change in September. We have more 'one-to-many' letters from HMRC and some non-tax items of interest too, plus more 'stories from the tax tribunals'.

Hello,

This week, we wonder whether HMRC are sending out too many 'One-to-many' letters, we muse on the fact that it has taken HMRC seven years to issue Simple Assessments and we consider tax on public sector pay. We have more news and case reports too.

Hello,

The new Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, will present her first budget in October and this week published details of some of the new government’s tax reforms. We take a closer look at the changes to Furnished Holiday Letting (FHL) and non-domiciled taxation.
