Put your client admin into motion.

Make sure that employer clients who were affected by December’s bad weather know they can appeal against a penalty for late payment or return if flooding caused the delay. It may also be helpful to remind them of the special HMRC helpline.

If you have non-EU based business clients remind them of the importance of submitting the correct documents to HMRC on time to recover UK VAT; failure to do so may as happened in Comoretel (TC4750) result in substantial loss.

Even though your client base may seem unlikely to be affected by the OECD’s base erosion and profit shifting project – or indeed by the diverted profits tax – it would be worth keeping an eye on developments in case clients ask about them.
