Hello 

We have a 'fun-packed' edition for you this week, lots of interesting cases, the new Employer Bulletin and a bunch of updated guides.

Hello 

Just a short newswire this week, we have some cases, we have some VAT and we also wonder why so many trusts are not reporting their ten year charges.

HMRC have recently released details of the value of assets held in UK taxpaying discretionary trusts at the ten yearly charge date, and have confirmed that information for more recent years is deemed to be incomplete because of delays by trustees in submitting accounts to HMRC.

Hello 

This time, I recommend you have a speed read of the items in our 'Being Digital' section. Even if you don't like a conspiracy you will shudder at some of the findings in the Common's Culture, Media and Sports committee. MPs also recommend further education on the 'dark ways' of social media, and so I have created a FAQs on what happens to your data.

In C J Wildbirds Food Ltd v HMRC [2018] TC06556 the First Tier tribunal agreed that a loan which could not be repaid and was written off by the lender was a loan relationship and a deduction was allowed for the impairment debit.
