Hello again
This time we have a short web-update as we re-visit a case from last year - featuring incorporation and letting. Even though it is the only case on s162 incorporation relief, and the decision came from the Upper Tier Tribunal, HMRC have not adjusted its manuals. Probably an oversight on their part, or maybe a lack of budget?
Top news is that HMRC have finally decided to allow some Mansworth v Jelly CGT relief claims, so that long running saga looks as if it will finally end. These claims date back to 2002.
We have a new subscriber guide to pensions Auto Enrolment. There is quite a lot of work to be done in setting up schemes and advisers really need to be getting their clients ready now. Many smaller employers will find that they can set up their scheme online using the Government's NEST - follow the links below.
Also we have answered a FAQ on contractor tax planning - the question is always asked. Read on.
Scroll down for news and updates.
Best wishes
