Staff Gifts at Christmas

Christmas is coming and it's a great time to reward your employees for a hard year's work with a gift or celebration.
Be careful, though. If that party or gift exceeds a certain amount per employee, it may be liable to taxation.
So make sure you know the rules and ensure a Happy Christmas for you and your employees!

Save Tax and the Environment!

New Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECAs) can allow expenditure on new energy efficient or water conserving plant & machinery to attract a 100% deduction from profits.
There's a potential double benefit because in addition to the potential tax benefits, the expenditure could also assist in enhancing a property's energy efficiency rating and reducing running costs.
So if you're interested in saving tax, reducing costs and helping the environment, maybe ECAs are for you.

Companies House Deadline Changes

Penalties for late filing of company accounts to Companies House are going up and you're getting less time to prepare them.

There is a sliding scale of penalties depending on how late the accounts are, but if you're 6 months you could be liable for a £1500 penalty.
And if you were late in the previous year, your penalty could be doubled.
The safest approach is obviously - don't be late!
