Hello,
HMRC’s mandatory registration of tax advisers has now begun. Agents who interact with HMRC about someone else’s tax affairs have three months from their ‘start date’ to register. The first start date of 18 May applies to advisers interacting with HMRC without an Agent Services Account, Self Assessment or Corporation Tax account, as well as new advisers.
Hello,
Among this week's highlights are more warnings about relying on unverified Artificial Intelligence (AI) output, the latest employment status tribunal decision, HMRC’s view on the VAT liability of public electric vehicle charge points and the First Tier Tribunal's (FTT) interpretation of the Statutory Residence Test.
Hello,
Close company directors within Self Assessment have additional reporting obligations in their 2025-26 tax returns. We have expanded our commentary on the new requirements in our 'Self Assessment Return 2025/26: What's new?' guide this week, including how percentage shareholdings should be calculated. Do take a look, as the rules might not be as expected.
Hello,
It has been another busy week, with cases and updates spanning VAT, Inheritance Tax (IHT), travel and subsistence expenses, the use of multiple agents by taxpayers and HMRC’s latest Spotlight on property business arrangements involving hybrid partnerships and indemnities.
Hello,
We have several updates from HMRC this week, with the publication of their April 2026 Agent Update, Employer Bulletin and Employment-Related Securities Bulletin. The VAT fuel scale charge rates for periods beginning on or after 1 May 2026 have also been published, and we examine the latest cases from the courts and tribunals.
Hello,
One of the most significant tax developments this week is the Supreme Court’s judgment in Orsted West of Duddon Sands (UK) Limited & Ors v HMRC. This long-running dispute concerned Orsted’s ability to claim capital allowances on environmental surveys and studies that informed the building of wind farms.
