Course Details

In this on demand CPD course, Rebecca looks at some of the topics for which you will need to make changes either now or over the short to medium term. These are mainly issues which arise in practice as a consequence of other changes, or indeed may be far reaching proposals announced in March on the Tax Policy and Consultation day. But there will be practical tips for you to action now as well!

Topics covered include:

  • VAT mainframe migration – what you need to know; how to talk to clients about this
  • Off-payroll working and client contractors – a couple of ‘must do’ things for immediate action
  • Proposals for earlier payment of tax – what is planned and how might it work? What we don’t know about this
  • A new approach to tax administration – what are HMRC’s key proposals and how will they affect your clients?
  • Raising standards in the tax advice market – will this affect you? What are the current proposals?
  • New penalty proposals – how will they work? Illustrative examples of the new penalty regime in action
  • MTD for Income Tax – where are we, and what are we still waiting for?
  • Planning digital record keeping take-up in your practice
