Watch out for HMRC Scams
It could be a scam if it:
1. is unexpected, 2. offers a refund, tax rebate or grant, 3. asks for personal information like bank details, 4. is threatening, 5. tells you to transfer money
You can be sure that HMRC will:
1. only ever call you asking about a claim or payment on a debt that you already know about, 2. never leave a voicemail threatening legal action, 3. never give the reason for a call on a voice message
If you receive any communication through WhatsApp claiming to be from HMRC it’s a scam.

Stay vigilant about scams, which may mimic government messages as a way of appearing authentic. Search 'scams' on GOV.UK for information on how to recognise genuine HMRC contact. You can also forward suspicious emails claiming to be from HMRC to [email protected] and texts to 60599.
Third grant of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS)
Third grant of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS)
For self-employed clients, the third SEISS grant closes for claims on Friday 29 January. You must claim on or before this date.
Similar to the first and second SEISS grants, the third SEISS grant will also be subject to Income Tax and self-employed National Insurance. Alongside the first and second grants, the third SEISS grant should be reported on your 2020/21 Self Assessment tax returns (filing deadline 31 January 2022).
Where you also claim Universal Credit (UC), the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme grant should be reported to DWP in the month the grant is paid and may affect the amount of UC received.

Support for Business during the Covid-19 pandemic
• Business rates - There will be a one-year business rates holiday for all businesses in England in the retail, hospitality and leisure sector. This change will apply automatically.
• £25,000 cash grants for retail, hospitality and leisure - Businesses must have a rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000. Local authorities will write to businesses that meet the criteria.
• £10,000 grant for the smallest businesses - Any businesses currently eligible for Small Business Rate Relief (SBBR) or Rural Rate Relief will qualify. Apply for the emergency funding direct from their local Council.
• Self-employed Income Support - The Government is to pay self-employed people across the UK a taxable grant worth 80% of their average monthly profit. This will be calculated from up to three years of tax filings (if available), and be capped at £2,500 per month. HMRC will contact eligible taxpayers and tell them how to apply. This will not be available until June 2020.
• Tax and VAT bills delayed - Payment of key taxes will be automatically deferred to provide businesses with a further potential source of working capital. You may need to cancel direct debit instructions with your bank if direct debits have been set up to pay taxes.
• HMRC Time to Pay service - Struggling businesses and self-employed people can ask HMRC for more time to settle tax bills. Decisions will be made case by case. Call the HMRC dedicated helpline on 0800 0159 559.
• Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme - Individual businesses will be able to apply for loans up to a maximum of £5 million. The Government will pay the interest for 12 months and will guarantee 80% of the loan. Any company with a turnover of up to £45 million can apply.

• Statutory sick pay - Any business with fewer than 250 employees will have the cost of providing 14 days of statutory sick pay (per employee) refunded by the government in full. It will also apply from day one rather than the usual day four of illness — even if individuals have no symptoms.
• Universal Credit - Self-employed workers can claim income support if they need to self-isolate.
• Hardship fund - A £500 million hardship fund is to be made available through local authorities.
For Isle of Wight Businesses
• Pay it Forward Crowdfunder and match-funding by Solent LEP - If you are a micro or small business you could access to up to £2,000 in match funding through the Solent LEP’s Crowdfunder’s Pay it Forward scheme.

Self Assessment at Christmas
| Posted on December 13, 2018 at 2:35 PM |
Take the weight off your shoulders this Christmas………
Mince pies, fairy lights and tax returns, two out three ain’t bad, let SFS Accounting carry the burden of the third one!
Get your tax return done well ahead of the 31 January 2019 deadline so you can relax and enjoy your celebrations.
The ghost of Christmas Past………….
● In 2017, 8,623 people completed their return on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day
● 92 tax returns arrived at HMRC between 11pm and midnight on Christmas Eve
● around 1.3 million submitted returns after Christmas
● 30,348 between 11pm and midnight on 31 January
● around three-quarters of a million people missed the deadline
Those unwanted gifts…………
If you fail to submit a tax return before midnight on 31 January 2019 you’ll face a fine of £100, with interest charged on any late payments.
That applies to returns which are up to three months late. If you let your return slip later again, you could see the fine rise by £10 a day, up to a maximum of £900.
If after six months you still haven’t sorted it, a further penalty of 5% of the tax you owe, or £300 – whichever is more – applies.
There’s an additional penalty of 5%, or a £300 charge, if you still haven’t reached a resolution after a year, while fines of 5% of the unpaid tax can be charged after 30 days, 6 months and 12 months.
Greater Expectations………….
● the process is easier than it used to be
● giving your accountants time means they can apply for all the tax breaks you may entitled to (lower your tax bill)
● if you want your accountant to act on your behalf you need to give them time to notify HMRC of this intention.
Take the pressure off and contact us now for help with your self-assessment
