SME Tax News
Hello
This time we feature two of the most topical SME tax cases that you are likely to see for some time. We think we have the answer to the lock-jam that is Brexit, we have more on Making VAT Digital, offpayrolling, the loan charge (you must act now) and more VAT-y stuff too.

Draft legislation has been published for the new Structures and Buildings Allowance which differs from the original proposals announced in October 2018.
