You Can Now Pay Your Self Assessment Tax By Budget Plan

December 17th, 2009 • By: Ray Business, General, Tax Matters

The government have introduced a budget plan to help people to pay their self assessment taxes over a period of time by direct debit.  The plan only applies to those people whose tax affairs (and payments) are right up to date though.  If you are one of those lucky people, you probably don’t need the opportunity to pay by instalments via direct debit, but you can also use the scheme to arrange your payment due on the 31st January 2010 to be paid in full by direct debit as well.

If you are behind with your tax payments,

Tax Free Perks You Can Give Your Employees

December 17th, 2009 • By: Ray Business, General, Tax Matters

I was recently asked by the owner of a fair sized business if there were still any perks he could give his employees that didn’t attract tax and national insurance.  The answer, even in these days of high tax, is yes – unbelievably!

VAT Question From A Publican!

December 9th, 2009 • By: Ray Business, Tax Matters, VAT

I have just been asked about the VAT increase that is due to happen at 00:01 a.m. on the 1st January 2010 back to 17.5% and how it affect Pubs/Restaurants that are hosting a New Year’s Eve party.   I thought it a good idea to clarify this point for everybody who may be wondering.
