🚩🚩🚩Last year, concerned taxpayers reported nearly 150,000 scam referrals to HMRC. 🚩🚩🚩

Around half of all scam reports in the last year were fake tax rebate claims, says the tax authority.

There has been a 16.7% increase in all scam referrals to HMRC – 144,298 were received between November 2023 and October 2024, up from 123,596 in the previous 12-month period, it added.

If communication claiming to be from HMRC asks for personal information or offers a tax rebate, check the advice on GOV.UK to help identify if it is scam activity.

HMRC says it will never leave voicemails threatening legal action or arrest or ask for personal or financial information over text message – only fraudsters and criminals will do that.
If you receive post or a call from HMRC, we recommend checking with us first before you give any information to them.

New company car advisory fuel rates have been published and took effect from 1 December 2024. 🚗

The guidance states: ‘you can use the previous rates for up to one month from the date the new rates apply’. The rates only apply to employees using a company car.

The advisory fuel rates for journeys undertaken on or after 1 December 2024 as detailed. (save post as your reminder)

HMRC guidance states that the rates only apply when you either:

• reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars
• require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.

You must not use these rates in any other circumstances.

The Advisory Electricity Rate for fully electric cars is 7p per mile.

People selling unwanted items online can continue to do so without any new tax obligations, HMRC has confirmed.

The reminder comes as online platforms start sharing sales data with HMRC from January 2025 – a new process that, when announced last year, generated inaccurate claims that a new tax was being introduced.

But whether selling last year’s festive jumper, getting some money back for a child’s outgrown baby clothes, or quietly offloading an unwanted Christmas present or two – absolutely nothing has changed for online sellers.

The new reporting requirements for digital platforms came into effect at the start of 2024. HMRC says that it is not a new tax and whether people are selling personal items on eBay, renting homes out on Airbnb or delivering takeaways through Just Eat – no tax rules have changed.

Those who sold at least 30 items or earned roughly £1,700 or provided a paid-for service, on a website or app in 2024 will be contacted by the digital platform in January to say their sales data and some personal information will be sent to HMRC due to new legal obligations.

Angela MacDonald, HMRC’s Second Permanent Secretary and Deputy Chief Executive Officer, said:

‘We cannot be clearer – if you are not trading and just occasionally sell unwanted items online – there is no tax due.

‘As has always been the case, some people who are trading through websites or selling services online may need to be paying tax and registering for self assessment.’

The tax deadline might be looming over us, but here’s a truth bomb: saving for your tax bill isn’t something you should only think about last minute. 🤔

Many business owners find themselves scrambling in January, stressed about how they’ll cover their tax bill. But with a little planning, it doesn’t have to be that way.

By setting aside a portion of your income each month, you can build up your tax savings gradually. It’s a simple habit that makes a world of difference when the deadline rolls around. No panic, no stress—just peace of mind knowing you’re covered.

Recharges vs. Disbursements: VAT Explained!

In the UK, knowing when to charge VAT on expenses you pass to clients is essential! Here’s a quick guide:

🔹 Recharges: When you pay for goods or services that benefit your business and then pass these costs to your client, this is a recharge. VAT should be applied to these costs, as they are considered part of your service. Examples include travel expenses and professional fees.

🔹 Disbursements: When you pay for goods or services on behalf of your client directly (meaning they’re the end-user), this is a disbursement. VAT does not apply here, as you’re merely passing along a cost. Think of postage fees paid on behalf of the client.

Understanding the difference helps you stay VAT-compliant and avoid overcharging your clients!

Small perks without paying tax or national Insurance are called Trivial benefits.

What's the Catch?

-The value must be £50 or less.
-It can’t be cash or a cash voucher.
-It shouldn’t be a reward for work or performance.
-It's not in the terms of their contract.

Think birthday gifts, festive treats, or small tokens of appreciation. Perfect for boosting team morale without the extra paperwork!

Stay compliant and keep your team smiling! 😊

As a business owner your time is precious. You may have gotten into bad habits, or you may have been using old systems or doing things manually until now.

By reviewing your processes and introducing new software and automations you can become much more efficient. 👩‍💻

Spending a bit of time implementing these new processes will mean you'll get back so much more vital time in the long run.

A business with great processes becomes much more productive. Get your processes sorted this Autumn and find out how we can help you to implement this.

Claire Thackaberry, Technical Officer at the LITRG, said:

'There are just over three months to go until HMRC starts getting information about the income and activities of people who use online platforms to make money. We are concerned that we will see the same chaos and confusion that arose when the rules first came into effect.

'Time is running out for HMRC to defuse this ticking time bomb. The information that HMRC will receive from platforms will be presented by calendar year, therefore covering more than one tax year. This could make it more difficult to work out when tax is due.'
