But now, Facebook is launching a more universal way for you to get your multimedia onto the site: email. Much like TwitPic and other mobile uploading applications for Twitter, the new Facebook mobile feature assigns you a personal email address that you can email your photos to. Doing so automatically posts them to your account, using your subject line as the caption.

( 3 / 124 )Further to our email update, the Early Day Motion on IR35 reaches 112 MP signatures which can only be good news for those who have the confusion of IR35 surrounding them.
It has thus attracted the attention of a significant amount of MPs, and is no doubt continuing to apply pressure on Government to rethink IR35.
We continue to keep the pressure on, and suggest you do the same by continuing to write to your MPs at the House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA, urging them to support this EDM, no.1124. Alternatively, you can email your MP directly via http://www.writetothem.com/

( 3 / 121 )As it stands, our clients, particularly those working through their own limited companies, should be out of scope of any UK implementation of the directive. Many companies have lobbied hard for such an exclusion and we will also continue to do so to ensure it remains within the final proposals. When I hear more I will update accordingly

( 3 / 112 )HMRC have announced some details of the New Disclosure Opportunity (NDO) which is due to take place this autumn. In order to encourage taxpayers to disclose an undeclared offshore account the penalty level has been set at 10%. HMRC hope that the low penalty will encourage taxpayers to come forward. HMRC are currently liaising with various banks to obtain details for offshore account holders.
“The key messages provided by HMRC are as follows:
The New Disclosure Opportunity (NDO) is for people with unpaid tax connected to an offshore account and will run from the autumn 2009 until March 2010. It will give the offshore account holders one final opportunity to disclose, and put their affairs in order.
Penalty of 10% for full disclosure if no previous opportunity. Higher for full disclosure if you had the chance under previous opportunity.
HMRC is seeking to obtain details of offshore accounts and assets from hundreds of financial institutions. This ensures HMRC will be able to pursue those who choose not to disclose tax owed as quickly as possible.
During the disclosure period, all account holders will know that HMRC has, or will soon have, their details. We have already successfully applied to get details from a number of banks.”
We will keep you informed of developments in this area, meanwhile if you have any concerns please do get in touch.

( 2.9 / 120 )Tax credits are state benefits which are generally available to lower income families. However, entitlement to the credits is significantly increased where individuals pay for childcare or suffer a drop in normal levels of income perhaps due to incurring trading losses or redundancy.
Individuals who have already claimed tax credits for 2008/09 have to finalise their provisional award, which would have originally been based on their 2007/08 income, and advise HMRC of any changes in their circumstances for 2008/09. This procedure is known as the renewals process. The deadline for the submission of tax credit renewals is 31 July 2009.
HMRC have been busily advertising the renewals process in the national press and on their website. Claimants need to be aware that the payment of tax credits will stop at the end of July if they have not renewed their applications by that date.
If you need any help with the completion of your form or any advice on tax credits generally please do get in touch.
