This increase is effective from 6 April 2010 (income tax ) and 1 April 2010 (corporation tax).</p> <p>The AIA is a capital allowance, an amount you can write off against taxable profits for purchases of qualifying plant and equipment; not cars.</p> <p>What also slipped through, perhaps unnoticed, is the cessation of the 40% first year allowance (FYA) on the same date. During the tax year 2009-10 it was possible to claim a &pound;50,000 AIA and a 40% FYA on any balance of qualifying expenditure over &pound;50,000. So if you spent &pound;200,000 your total write off against profits would be &pound;110,000. (100% x &pound;50,000, plus 40% x &pound;150,000)</p> <p>Taking into account the increase in the AIA and the 20% writing down allowance on expenditure in excess of &pound;100,000, the actual break even mark is capital expenditure of &pound;250,000. Any expenditure in excess of this amount will qualify for less overall capital allowances in 2010-11 as compared with allowances available in 2009-10.</p> <p><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Bonus for self-employed businesses.</span></strong></p> <p>Profitable self-employed business owners are facing an additional 50% income tax charge in 2010-11 on earnings in excess of &pound;150,000. Judicious use of the AIA can have considerable benefits.</p> <p>Lets consider a self-employed trader with taxable profits after all deductions, but before claims for capital allowances, of &pound;250,000.</p> <p>For 2010-11 the 50% income tax charge, not the total tax charge, would be &pound;50,000. (&pound;250,000 - &pound;150,000 at 50%) If the trader spent &pound;100,000 on qualifying plant or equipment, that qualified for the AIA, he or she could write off the &pound;100,000 against the &pound;250,000 profits and all of the 50% rate income tax charge would be eliminated! A tax saving of &pound;50,000.</p> <p>In cash terms that represents a 50% recovery of the &pound;100,000 investment in the new plant or equipment.</p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p align=center style='text-align:center'><b>Click here for a call back from our office regarding this article.&nbsp;&nbsp;</b><a href="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/servlet/com.scl.horus?version=2&amp;service=uktw&amp;function=moreinfo&amp;memberid=NOR01&amp;month=April&amp;articleid=68058"><span style='text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1039" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/email.gif"></span></a> &nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Back to top&nbsp;&nbsp;</b><a href="#top"><span style='text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1040" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/arrow.gif"></span></a> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <p class=MsoNormal><a name=article3></a><span style='font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="99%" style='width:99.0%;mso-cellspacing:0cm;background:#01CCEC;mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes'> <td width=2 style='width:1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1041" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/box_tl.gif"><o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> <td width="99%" style='width:99.0%;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:black'>61% Tax Rate?<o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> <td width=2 style='width:1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1042" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/box_tr.gif"><o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> </tr> </table> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";display:none;mso-hide:all'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellpadding=0 width="99%" style='width:99.0%;mso-cellspacing:1.5pt;background:#F6F6F6;mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184;border:##01CCEC'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes'> <td width="99%" style='width:99.0%;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'> <p>As part of the drive to increase tax revenues HMRC will be reducing your personal tax allowance of &pound;6,475 in 2010-11, if your taxable income exceeds &pound;100,000. They will knock &pound;1 from your allowance for every &pound;2 your income exceeds &pound;100,000. Your personal allowance will be eliminated when your earnings reach &pound;112,950.</p> <p>The extra tax you will pay on the top &pound;12,950 of your earnings is 40% of the &pound;12,950 plus 40% of the lost personal allowance (&pound;6,475 x 40%), a combined 60% tax charge. If you take into account the extra 1% NIC charge, a not inconsiderable 61% marginal rate!</p> <p>Accordingly anything you can do to reduce your income back below &pound;100,000 will save you up to 61% in reduced tax and NIC.</p> <p>Careful planning of capital expenditure to make use of the AIA as mentioned in the previous article in this newsletter could be the key; or perhaps a salary sacrifice or increase in pension contributions? You could also consider a gift aid donation, see article that follows. </p> <p>Planning is obviously critical - call if you would like us to design a strategy to safeguard your tax allowance, should it be under threat.</p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p align=center style='text-align:center'><b>Click here for a call back from our office regarding this article.&nbsp;&nbsp;</b><a href="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/servlet/com.scl.horus?version=2&amp;service=uktw&amp;function=moreinfo&amp;memberid=NOR01&amp;month=April&amp;articleid=67879"><span style='text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1043" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/email.gif"></span></a> &nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Back to top&nbsp;&nbsp;</b><a href="#top"><span style='text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1044" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/arrow.gif"></span></a> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <p class=MsoNormal><a name=article4></a><span style='font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="99%" style='width:99.0%;mso-cellspacing:0cm;background:#01CCEC;mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes'> <td width=2 style='width:1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1045" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/box_tl.gif"><o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> <td width="99%" style='width:99.0%;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:black'>Gift Aid Donations, yearend planning points<o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> <td width=2 style='width:1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1046" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/box_tr.gif"><o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> </tr> </table> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";display:none;mso-hide:all'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellpadding=0 width="99%" style='width:99.0%;mso-cellspacing:1.5pt;background:#F6F6F6;mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184;border:##01CCEC'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes'> <td width="99%" style='width:99.0%;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'> <p>When you make a Gift Aid donation you are deemed to have deducted tax at the standard rate, 20% before you pay. If the highest rate of tax you pay is 20% then no further tax relief is available. If however you are a higher rate, 40%, tax payer in 2009-10 you can claim for the extra 20% tax relief (40%-20%) - simply include the Gift Aid payments you have made on your tax return and the relief will be included automatically in your tax calculation.</p> <p>Common sense would suggest that the Gift Aid payments you can claim for 2009-10 are the payments made in that year? Not so! HMRC allow you to include Gift Aid payments made up to the date you file your tax return.</p> <p>For 2009-10 the deadline for filing your self-assessment tax return is 31 January 2011 - accordingly if you filed your return on the last date allowed you could theoretically include any Gift Aid payments made in the period 6 April 2009 to 31 January 2011.</p> <p>If you only have a small amount of income taxable at 40% for 2009-10 this may be a way to recover or reduce 40% tax and benefit a worthy cause.</p> <p>If this concession continues tax payers who suffer the new 50% income tax charge, or that have income over &pound;100,000 and stand to lose all or part of their personal allowance, could consider a significant Gift Aid donation. For the first year affected by these increases, 2010-11 you could include Gift Aid payments made from 6 April 2010 to 31 January 2012. (As long as you have not utilised any of the payments on your 2009-10 return.)</p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p align=center style='text-align:center'><b>Click here for a call back from our office regarding this article.&nbsp;&nbsp;</b><a href="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/servlet/com.scl.horus?version=2&amp;service=uktw&amp;function=moreinfo&amp;memberid=NOR01&amp;month=April&amp;articleid=68416"><span style='text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1047" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/email.gif"></span></a> &nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Back to top&nbsp;&nbsp;</b><a href="#top"><span style='text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1048" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/arrow.gif"></span></a> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <p class=MsoNormal><a name=article5></a><span style='font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="99%" style='width:99.0%;mso-cellspacing:0cm;background:#01CCEC;mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes'> <td width=2 style='width:1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1049" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/box_tl.gif"><o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> <td width="99%" style='width:99.0%;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:black'>Problems with PAYE Notices of Coding for 2010-11<o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> <td width=2 style='width:1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1050" src="http://www.taxupdates.co.uk/uktw/images/box_tr.gif"><o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> </tr> </table> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";display:none;mso-hide:all'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellpadding=0 width="99%" style='width:99.0%;mso-cellspacing:1.5pt;background:#F6F6F6;mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184;border:##01CCEC'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes'> <td width="99%" style='width:99.0%;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'> <p>HMRC have belatedly realised that a significant number of the Notice of Codings issued for 2010-11 are incorrect.
