For your attention


Below are just a few helpful hints, if you need any further information please give us a call on 01423 874777.


Taxpayers Passwords


Instead of robbing banks with a sawn off shotgun it is far easier to steal a  taxpayer's password and obtain a fraudulent tax refund -    
 this is a growing crime, please keep your passwords secure.


Tax/VAT Payment difficulties


There have been few initiatives to help businesses with tax and VAT payments.

Phone 0845-302-1435 if you need extra time to pay.

Hint - have all your references to hand and a plan of how you wish to pay.

Set up a direct debit payment or budget payment plan - go to www.hmrc.gov.uk and select self assessment service from the 'do it online' menu.


Capital Allowances


The Annual Investment Allowance allows you to write off 100% of qualifying expenditure during 2009/2010 up to a total of £50,000.

If the claim creates a loss you may be able to use the loss to reclaim past tax payments.

Please contact us for further information.
