Inheritance Tax – What is your Current Allowance?

Inheritance Tax – What is your Current Allowance?

The current inheritance tax (IHT) allowance whereby no inheritance tax is charged is on the first £325,000 (per person) of someone’s estate – which is the value of the total assets they leave behind when they die (or 36% if leaving at least 10% to a charity). Couples can leave a home worth £650,000 without it attracting inheritance tax (singles £325,000). Above the threshold, the charge is 40%. This remains unchanged.

Self-Assessments – Why Plan Ahead?

Self-Assessments – Why Plan Ahead?

A Self-Assessment tax return declares all your income for the tax year, including income that has already been taxed at source. If you have paid too much tax during the year you’re likely to receive a rebate. The tax year for every individual in the UK runs from 6th April to the 5th April of the following year. Please note that a Self-Assessment tax return is completely separate to a company tax return.

Corporation Tax – Are You Paying More Than You Need To?

This initiative has already come into force for VAT-registered businesses with a taxable turnover above the current VAT threshold of £85,000. For VAT periods that started on or after the 1 April 2019, these businesses are now legally required to keep records digitally and use software to submit their VAT returns. There are a number of companies who may be exempt from this with a later start date of the 1 October 2019 and we can advice if this applies to you.
