Welcome

Hello,

There are several important updates for employers this week, as HMRC publish their latest Employer Bulletin. We also have the August Agent Update, a First Tier Tribunal decision considering the meaning of 'life', and revised company car advisory fuel rates from 1 September.

Hello,

We have previously highlighted that some individuals due to receive Winter Fuel Payments (WFPs) this year may wish to opt out if their 2025-26 income will exceed £35,000, to avoid the administration and complexity of WFP clawback through the tax system.

Hello,

This week, we are pleased to publish a new suite of subscriber guides focusing on globally mobile employees. We also have the latest statistics on Inheritance Tax, estimates of the number of taxpayers that will be impacted by Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, as well as more decisions from the tax tribunals.

Hello,

The adjustment of business expenses for private use, Corporation Tax marginal relief, Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) repayment claims and the mandatory registration with HMRC of tax advisers are among this week’s hot topics.  

Hello,

It has been another busy week in tax, with news of HMRC cutting back on Corporation Tax letters, an update on the recovery of Winter Fuel Payments through the tax system and more AI hallucinations. This time, three made-up cases were cited by a taxpayer before the Upper Tribunal, due to the use of AI.
