Read the latest  Business Update Winter 2011 newsletter, which as usual includes a variety of business and topical tax issues.

Our cover story features David Stevens, who we are delighted to welcome as our new Corporate Services Partner. David brings a track-record of success in delivering tailored strategic solutions and high levels of client service, skills that will reinforce our specialisation and expertise in this field and help us maintain our position as a leading provider of corporate services.

We also look ahead to the changes in tax rules for pension schemes in 2012 and outline some of the key tax planning opportunities. The Government is looking to help companies through the Enterprise Investment Scheme. ‘Encouraging Enterprise’ will tell you more about how you or your company could benefit.

There is also good news when it comes to research and development. ‘Research – the sky’s the limit’ looks at the details of this tax incentive. Changes to capital allowances come into force in April 2012. ‘Act now for allowances!’ will help you assess the impact on your business.

Turning to VAT matters, we look at a change in the VAT position affecting some salary sacrifice schemes, so make sure you have it covered. We also focus on one of HMRC’s VAT toolkits designed to help you file accurate returns!  And finally, on the personal tax front, our newsletter covers ‘Changes ahead for non-doms’.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding any of the articles we have included in our newsletter or if you would like further information on a topic we haven’t covered. Your views are always important to us and we would welcome any feedback you could give us. Read the full newsletter at Business Update Winter 2011
