Don't let the taxman find you unprepared

We have already witnessed two budgets this year, both of which resulted in big changes to tax legislation. It is vitally important to remain on top of all areas of tax to avoid penalties, fines and investigations.

VAT is one aspect that has seen many changes in 2010. Although the rise of VAT to 20% on 4 January 2011 has garnered the most publicity, there are a number of other VAT changes which business leaders need to be aware of.

As part of the ongoing austerity measures, HMRC are tightening its procedures. Tax investigations are likely to be more thorough, and the associated time and costs can have a significant impact on a business.

Austerity measures work both ways – hard-working business owners can also ensure every penny they earn works for them. Saving tax is about reducing liabilities, not avoiding them, and careful tax planning can help mitigate the full effects of the new tax regulations.

HMRC targeting VAT Flat Rate Schemes & new
20% VAT rate

When VAT reverted to 17.5% in January 2010, not all Flat Rate Scheme (FRS) categories returned to their original levels. We are aware that HMRC have been selecting companies using this scheme as a potential source of errors. It is likely that HMRC will make similar checks following the increase in VAT to 20% on 4th January 2011. If you have any queries, please contact us.
