In the this issue you'll find advice on...
VAT error correction changes
HMRC has removed one of the options for reporting errors you find in your previous VAT returns. What remaining options are there for correcting a mistake?
Frequent changes of company car
If your employees enjoy multiple changes of company car during the year, could averaging the car benefit calculation save tax? If so, what’s involved and how can they avoid an unexpected tax bill?
Building, structure or plant - why is the difference important?
