Tax Tip

When you buy new equipment for your business, ask whether it is energy or water efficient.

Check the list on www.eca.gov.uk to see if you could get a 100% deduction fo the cost in the year of purchase.

On-line filing

Every year, employers are required to send details of the salaries, tax and National Insurance deducted from their employees.

These year-end returns have to be submitted by 19 May 2007 to avoid a fine. These documents can be submitted on-line via the internet.

We can assist you in this process. If you are a small employer (less than 50 employees) and you file on-line, HMRC will pay you £150 tax-free if you file on time for 2006/07.

Company Vans

There has been a big change to the taxable benefit due on vans.

Where an employer provides a van for an employee, which they can use for private journeys, the taxable benefit from 6 April 2007 becomes £3000 per annum.

This taxable benefit is not levied if the private use is merely incidental.

HMRC have given some guidance on what is incidental but this is not exhaustive so we will be pleased to advise on the situation if you are providing vans that can also be used for private journeys.
