I'm sure we all wish MIATA a speedy recovery.

I consider that he is one of the most helpful people (along with Gengulphus) in the complex matters of taxation.

Kind regards to you MIATA and I will reiterate...a speedy recovery to your former health.

Hope that all is well with you MIATA? A question if i may that relates to potential CGT on ones primary residence which is currently rented out on commercial terms as we are living abroad.

Is there any potential CGT if say the property is rented out for say 5 years [will have been owned for say 30 years in total] remembering that this is a primary residence [no other properties owned]

Assuming that we live in the property again for at least 12 months on a return to the UK would there then be any CGT payable on a subsequent sale of the property to purchase a new main primary residence?

Thank you in anticipation.

I am just wondering, but from a tax perspective is it better to hold a buy to let portfolio in a company or just as a single person? Does anyone have any experience of this? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please clarify whether Hayward Tyler HAYT shares which are registered on the I.O.M have been paid with or without payment of overseas withholding tax.

I have a consolidated tax certificate from TD Direct which shows the net and gross amount as being the same. Whereas iWEB's show the gross dividend payment amount then subtract a 10% foreign withholding tax which gives a net dividend payment which is 10% less.

Clearly both cannot be correct and although I have fully completed my self assessment tax return (except for my HAYT share dividends) I am at a loss as to how to proceed - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi goatherd

Thank you for your comments.
Very helpful to my current situation and your time responding to me
is appreciated.

To be honest I have been too busy starting and maintaining
a business (1st-business) and I have not kept focused on returns for the directors etc.. due to limited time.

When I was first recommended my current accountant I agreed with
him/them (for an agreed fee) that they would handle everything. e.g tax returns for all directors, V.A.T, N.I.C, wage slips etc... (not written confirmation)

All V.A.T quarters were being handled by one member of the accountancy,
wage slips by another, and full year accounts by another member. Not cheap but
as the business was and still is strong, a fee I did not mind paying for peace of mind.

V.A.T guy left early last year and I know the accountancy has lost business elsewhere and may have caused issues with our accounts etc.. Too many excuses and I have not the time.

Back to what I have done and need to do.
I emailed and received a response from Companies House (yesterday)regarding my statutory annual return. It has been received. 1 out of the way.

Your right the N.I is not a rush I have paid what we owed plus interest for late payment. (hopefully MIATA may know something)

Full year accounts (Guy who handles full year is efficient and has done a good job) agreed, signed and ready to submit.

It is the returns for all 4 directors that was/is my cause for concern. Again we agreed that they would be completed by the accountant and was told that they had been submitted. (not written)

But as they can be submitted late then I will have to pay whatever penalty is due. ( I carry the responsibility and assured the other directors everything was up to date/submitted.

I blame myself (not written confirmation on some areas) and too much trust that important issues were being completed correctly.

Negligence has occurred in my opinion from my accountant. Proving it does not matter to me now. I would no doubt struggle to prove anything and I do not have the time to start any litigation.

I will put it down to another mistake (made many) pay whatever penalty is due and move on.

I was concerned start of the week but feel much more confident that all this can now be corrected.

Thank you for your comments again goatherd. Excellent thread, MIATA given advice in the past and it is all beneficial to me now and going forward.

Hi goatherd,

Paid annually. Invoice.
Previous 2 years payment sent after full years accounts submitted.

Your suggestions are most welcomed.

Westi1,

It seems Miata may be away, and it is urgent, so may I try to help.

I am not quite sure of your relationship with your accountant. Is he an employee, or when you pay him, do you pay on invoice?

If I knew that then I could make some suggestions - but I don't want to have to make two sets.

Hi MIATA

Any help with the following would be most appreciated.
3rd year in business. Business/sales going well but I may have
some serious problems.

At present it appears my accountant has let me down on several areas.
(Do not see him until next Monday)

Date of incorporation April 4th. 2012

1). Is my annual return different from my annual accounts?
(I received a letter from Companies House stating my statutory annual return
is overdue May 24th 2014)

2). Can I file individual tax returns now for years 2012/2013?
I am aware of the penalties reading your thread.
My accountant has not filed any individual tax returns for 2012 & 2013.
All 4 directors. It is my business but is split between 4 equal shareholders/4 directors.

3). Is there a way I can pay National Insurance contributions for all the directors when they are due?
We are all payed via PAYE/dividends. Last week I received a letter from HMRC stating national insurance + income tax of £1700+ not payed. There was also interest on it due to it being late. (now payed)

I am aware that as we are all directors that N.I.C does not kick in until the latter part of our financial year, but need to keep on top of important payments.

I apolgise if some of my questions/concerns are inadequately explained.
I pay my accountant well, and hoped he was there for peace of mind.
Some of the issues above he has claimed have been submitted (e.g tax returns) but
recently it has come to light he has not. Same again with my Annual return.

I need to get a better understanding (minimal knowledge at present) before I see him
Monday to see what I can do to rectify these issues and move on.

The basic rule is you have to live or work in the UK. There are some exceptions:

With regards to child benefit MIATA am i correct in saying that if you as a family move abroad "within the EU" that you should still get child benefit even if you do not work in the UK?

According to the likes of the Daily Mail this is the case but i was wondering if at least one parent had to still be working in the UK even if they lived abroad "within the EU" but fairly regularly returned to the UK for work paying income tax and NI contributions?

Hmmm! I have to say that my natural sympathies with anyone facing an investigation are tempered by the expectation that anyone who has 'complicated' or sophisticated financial arrangements has an obligation - indeed it's plain common sense - to either make sure they understand the implications of what they are doing or take advice from/employ someone who does. I saw the Telegraph story and winced at this bit -

"Common "innocent" mistakes can often involve capital gains tax.
"This is increasingly an issue for people as property values rise," said Tina Riches, a partner at the financial group Smith & Williamson.
"But there is a lot of misunderstanding. Lots of clients don't know how the tax applies to second properties, for example, or what happens where properties are owned jointly."
David Lawrenson, from Lettingfocus.com, a website for landlords, said: "There is a great deal of uncertainty among landlords about what expenses can be offset against income.""

If you don't know, find out, or employ an accountant to do it for you!

HMRC made inquiries about the tax affairs of 237,215 people last year, compared with about 119,000 in 2011-12.

The number of self-employed people investigated has quadrupled in that time while annual prosecutions have risen sevenfold in three years.

The figures are evidence of the attempts HMRC is taking to minimise the estimated £35 billion of tax lost every year. Experts have warned that people who have made simple errors when filling out self-assessment tax returns are "an easy target" for HMRC. Tax experts warned that middle-class professionals, such as doctors, lawyers and teachers, were being targeted. They were more likely to settle any claims without dispute because they felt "anxious" when HMRC sent warning letters.

The Treasury plan to allow HMRC to remove cash from bank accounts without a court order is "very concerning" because of its history of mistakes, a Commons committee said.

HMRC is looking to increase its powers to allow it to take tax debts directly from individuals' ISAs.

In this year's Budget, the government gave HMRC the power to recover tax debts of over £1,000 directly from individuals' bank accounts if they had 'sufficient funds' leftover.

In a consultation paper entitled 'Direct Recovery of Debts', HMRC proposed to extend these powers to take tax from ISAs in a 'lower cost and less invasive' way.'It is an administrative measure which will allow HMRC to recover tax and tax credit debts directly from debtors' bank and building society accounts, including ISAs, without the need to apply to a court,' it said.

Subject: Inheritance Tax

MIATA may well have covered this before but in case some people do not realise I will put this briefly.

If one person has not given away £325,000 (The current IHT limit) within the Seven years preceding their death then taper relief does not apply at all. It only applies if over £325,000 has been gifted. This is apart from those small amounts that are exempt i.e. £3,000 to one person or gifts of £250 to different people etc.



Of course, if the person dies more than seven years after gifting then no inheritance tax is paid on those gifts.

Yes, that's what I was referring to in my final sentence but you have to have it set up right. If your fund isn't in 'segments', you may find that your first lump sum drawdown is the only one that is tax-free. As ever with pensions, you need proper advice to make sure you're doing the right thing.
jeffian

I think it depends on how your pension fund is set up, what you want to do and what your specific provider's rules allow (plus cost effectiveness to you) but it is certainly possible under certain circumstances eg:

"Firstly you will decide how much of your pension you want to move into income drawdown. You can choose to convert your entire pension to drawdown all at once, or you can convert smaller segments as and when you need them (this is known as partial drawdown). You can usually take up to 25% of each amount you move into income drawdown as a tax-free lump sum, before leaving the remainder invested from which to draw a taxable income."

Is it correct that you can draw down amounts tax-free over several years until they aggregate to 25%? (Your option 2b). I thought that the 25% was a one-off event and you either 'use it or lose it', although it would depend how the underlying investment was structured (I have read of cases where pensions are in separate 'pots' and the 25% could be applied as each unit was encashed).

Thanks for the very clear & speedy response Miata; it's an important juncture for me & one I intend/want to get right. Thank you.
