( 3 / 120 )As I have reported before, tax rates are going to be very high for those drawing £100,000+ incomes. This is going to therefore spur people into finding ways to save tax and use their incomes in a different way.
We have commenced our review into 2010 tax planning and if anyone would like to get some hints and tips please do feel free to email or contact us to discuss ways to try and mitigate tax costs.

( 3 / 108 )In a more concrete way, data complied by the Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis, showed the volume of world trade rising 3.5% in July - following a 1.6% rise in June – the steepest since December 2003. The numbers suggest that the fall in trade over the past year was mainly caused by lack of demand than a breakdown in the trading system. “The fact that global supply chains are getting back to normal is good news for export-dependent countries like Japan and Germany” was the view of Capital Economics. Not everyone seems to be in agreement though, with the IMF saying the world’s leading economies will have to wait until 2015 or later for growth to return to normal rates. As the global economy recovers, it is the emerging countries such as China that are leading the way, underlining the shift of wealth and power from West to East. In recognition of this fact, HSBC, one of the world’s largest banks, announced last week that it would be run from Hong Kong, a sign that the world’s economic centre of gravity has indeed shifted decidedly to the Orient.
Here in the UK, the CBI upgraded its forecasts for Britain’s economic prospects, predicting the UK would emerge from recession by the end of this month, giving some credence to the Prime Minister’s G20 statement. The business group expects growth of 0.3% this quarter, rising to 0.4% in the final three months, reflecting a sharp rise in confidence. However, there do appear to be some risks to the fragile recovery, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers, who have called on the government to extend its ‘cash for bangers’ £300m scheme which is close to ending. The scheme has given UK car production a huge boost – halving the previous year-on-year drop of 56.5% - but it seems that production fell back again last month raising concerns that recovery could falter. Car makers have cut jobs and shifts as sales have slumped and last week it emerged that the proposed sale of GM’s Vauxhall arm to a foreign consortium could now lead to 1,200 job cuts at Vauxhall plants in Britain.

( 2.8 / 152 )As of 1st April 2010 any existing business, with a net turnover of more than £100k, or any business registering for VAT after that date MUST file online and make electronic payments (www.hmrc.gov.uk/carter/compulsory-deadlines.htm#3)
This is going to increase the pressure on those paper driven old school accounting businesses and I believe that this pushes us all forward towards paperless operating which can only be good.

( 3 / 124 )Recent data has suggested that the UK has begun to climb out of recession, and we have seen this in rates for Consultants and new Small Businesses entering the market more readily.
UK house prices rose for the fourth month in a row during August, the Nationwide has said, climbing by 1.6%...is it therefore the time to think of buying again before they get out of reach?
According to the Nationwide, the average price of a home is now £160,224, up from £158,871 in July.
While prices are still lower than last year, the annual rate of decline in property values slowed sharply to 2.7%, compared with July's 6.2% fall.
The Nationwide said a key factor in lifting prices was "the exceptionally low level of interest rates".
Rates have been kept on hold at 0.50% by the Bank of England since March.
Let's hope that rates stay as they are for now so that the general consumer can continue to reduce personal debt and enjoy a reasonable lifestyle for the rest of 2009.
