Hello,

In 2022, the ‘Digitisation Taskforce’ was launched to drive forward the modernisation of the UK’s shareholding framework.

Hello,

There is something of an international theme to this week’s SME Tax Update, as our case summaries include issues such as the ‘place of effective management' of a trust, Business Investment Relief (BIR), and the UK Income Tax chargeability of a non-UK resident partner in UK-based Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs).

Hello,

Transactions in Securities, Entrepreneurs' Relief (now Business Asset Disposal Relief) and disguised remuneration are among the hot topics in the courts and tribunals this week. We also examine several other current issues, including beneficial loans, as well as the reformed Overseas Workday Relief rules.

Hello, 

There’s a lot to catch up on this week, with a new Agent Update, Employer Bulletin, two Revenue & Customs Briefs, estimated tax gap figures for 2023-24, and much more, including several decisions from the tax tribunals.
