High Earner Tax Returns
We have been aware for some time that in the current year, 2023/24, individuals with income taxed under PAYE (so employees in the main) whose salary and benefits do not exceed £150,000, will no longer be required to submit Self Assessment Tax Returns. This is good...
Christmas gifts to staff – what are the rules on tax?
As I got into my car this morning to head into our Shoreditch office, I could not quite believe what I was hearing - the Christmas music has started already! This got me thinking about the festive season ahead and I was inspired to write my next website article - a...
Autumn Statement reaction from Sean Wiegand
I watched Jeremy Hunt’s Autumn Statement today - there was a bit of good news for everyone I thought. There was certainly a more optimistic feel with this speech compared to last year’s Autumn Statement. He mentioned the headline inflation falling from 11.1% to 4.6%...

Autumn Statement reaction from Lisa Greenwood
Announcements that benefit who exactly? News prior to the Autumn Statement indicated that Jeremy Hunt was going to help businesses, and as someone that provides services to many small businesses, I was excited to hear what he had to say. However having listened to the...
Autumn Statement reaction from Lucy Orrow
My thoughts on today's Autumn Statement... National Insurance was introduced in 1911 and has changed and expanded ever since. Our history of Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4, has today changed to remove Class 2 contributions. This will save self employed workers £3.45 per...
