Monthly reporting temporarily allowed for firms with fewer than 50 employees
Further to concerns about the number of changes to tax codes, which left some employees with less them half their pay after tax, payroll management information service Payroll Alliance carried out a brief survey of employers.
The aim was to gather statistics to present to HMRC to demonstrate that all tax codes should include a 50% regulatory limit, not just K codes.
HMRC will be holding business-and-employer advice days at the end of March. The informal events will provide a chance to meet the Revenue’s team of tax advisers, listen to talks on a range of tax subjects, and ask questions about the department’s rules and procedures.
Topics to be covered include self-employment, VAT, first steps as an employer and real-time information.

The government is to amend the law to clarify the community amateur sports clubs (CASC) qualifying conditions. Enabling legislation will be introduced in the Finance Bill, which will allow HMRC to set out clearer detailed rules in secondary legislation after a public consultation.
The proposals will cover a range of issues, including the maximum annual fee a club can charge and still be considered a CASC, the rules on generating income from social and non-sporting activities, more generous travel expenses, and changes to allow clubs to make limited payments to players.
