How ready are your clients for HMRC’s Making Tax Digital project? It might be a good idea to offer a workshop for local businesses on keeping records digitally and take the opportunity to discuss the government’s plans more generally .

The commerciality of a taxpayer’s trade seems to have taken centre stage at several recent First-tier Tribunal appeal hearings. Make sure that clients can produce the evidence – business records business plans and insurance – to prove they are trading on a commercial basis.

The deadline for submitting evidence to the Treasury committee’s Shifting Sands inquiry is 31 March. If you have some spare moments – before the Budget – consider offering your views to help the committee with its investigations.
