Welcome to this week’s Talking Points meeting blog. We have three subjects this week.
Income from Property
During the meeting we will discuss helping to minimise risk for your clients. We are covering, expenses, deductions, reliefs and repairs plus how to claim for the cost of replacing domestic items and the restrictions in place for income tax relief on finance costs.
As this is a popular subject, we have two meetings:
Thursday 4 January - 11am – 12:15pm Register now
Thursday 4 January - 2pm – 15:15pm Register now
Basis Periods
Your basis period is the time period HMRC uses for tax and tends to be the same as your accounting period. We will look at the different rules applied to commencement years and the effect on a basis period when there is a change of accounting date and overlapping periods. We will also give some tips for dealing with a change from sole trader to partnership and vice versa.
Friday 5 January – 11am to midday Register now
Trade losses
We get lots of questions about trade losses so we will be looking at the different ways trade losses may be relieved.
Friday 5 January – 1pm to 2pm Register now
