Just a short-ish update this week. Our highlights are:

A new section: Capital allowances

A new idea: Tax penalties: grounds for appeal

A new worked illustration: Unlawful, illegal and ultra vires dividends

At a glance: Do ALL directors need to complete a P11D?

What a week it has been. Now that we have draft legislation and the gloves are off, we finally know what HMRC means by Working with Tax Agents. I have been collecting some excellent quotes.

Kind regards
