  • RE:Is there anyone that i can contact at HMRC in regards to a Companies application for AMLS?

    Hi eiliffe,
    Sorry to hear about the delay in processing your application.
    I have spoken to a member of the AMLS Team who has suggested you send an email to ecsregistration@hmrc.gov.uk, including your company name and Companies House reference number.
    Alternatively you can contact the Helpline on 0300 200 3700.
    Thank you. 
  • RE: Corporation tax treatment for the donation of assets from the shareholders/directors

    Hi FK01434,
    Thank you for coming back to us.
    It is not possible for HMRC to give you advice on whether capital contributions made in this way would be taxable as income of the company or not.
    If this contribution was made in exchange for shares this would be an injection of equity capital, and therefore would not normally be a trading receipt.
    However, on the basis of your description this is not the case here, and it is possible that the correct treatment should be that this amount should be treated as taxable trading receipts.
    If it is treated as miscellaneous income for accounting purposes, then it may also be chargeable by the income not otherwise charged rules in Chapter 8 of Part 10 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009.
    Thank you. 
     
  • RE: Invoice to Employee

    Hi Mary 
    The invoice will need to be in the name of the company, rather than the employee, to be considered as an expense incurred by the company.
    Thank you. 
  • RE: Salary payment to my mother

    Hi Robert Beliaiev,
    In relation to the payments made to your mother, we would refer to you BIM 47105 - Specific deductions - staffing costs - payments to dependants and close relatives' which also includes examples where payments may be deemed to be excessive in relation to services provided.
    BIM47105 - Specific deductions: staffing costs: payments to dependants and close relatives
    If you feel that the payments made were excessive, you may wish to make a voluntary disclosure, or where time limits allow, file an amended Company Tax Return to reflect the reduced employment expenses.
    PAYE - annual payments can be made to employees, further information regarding 'Annual payroll scheme for  PAYE' can be found at - www.gov.uk/running-payroll/changing-paydays' .If you discover that you have paid an employee the wrong amount or made incorrect deductions, we would refer you to - www.gov.uk/payroll-errors/corrections-pay-or-deductions for further advice.

  • Ltd non resident for seller in amazon usa

    Hi Fatimaz,
    Unless you are a UK resident or trading in the UK, you are unable to open a limited company at Companies House.
    Your company should be registered in either the country you are resident or where you are trading. 
    Thank you. 

     
  • RE: Sending money from abroad to UK account

    Hi Chris,
    There are no Income Tax implications on the receipt of a cash gift unless the cash gift generates interest or dividends.
    These would then potentially be subject to tax.
    Further guidance can be found here:

    Thank you. 
  • Farmers Averaging + Losses

    Hi Tina Bishop,
    Sorry,  but as we do not have your full details we can only provide a general answer.
    But based on what you have  has been said, there appears to be farming trade profit of £170k in 21/22 and a loss from the same farming trade in 22/23 of £200k.
    We are assuming there is no other income in either year.
    Agent has made a 2 year farming profits averaging election for these years which has the effect of spreading £85k profit forward from 21/22 to 22/23 (losses are treated as nil for the purposes of calculating the averaging profits election only).
    The way that the spreading works means that whilst we now have a profit of £85k chargeable to tax in 22/23, the whole amount of the farm trade loss from 22/23 of £200K can be utilised using the normal available trade loss rules:
    BIM85000 - Trade losses: contents
    What the agent is then asking is if they can c/b £85k loss under S64 2(b) (BIM85015) against the general income (which is the remaining £85k farming profit) of 21/22 and then set £85k against general income (which is the spread forward farming profit) of 22/23 under S64 2(a).
    This would then leave £30k loss available to carry forward from 22/23 against next available same trade profits under S83.
    The query is whether the losses set against 21/22 and 22/23 would be limited to £50K each year due to the loss restriction rules.
    The rules for the restricted loss relief are in the Helpsheet HS204 which will be good to refer the agent to:
    Limit on Income Tax reliefs (Self Assessment helpsheet HS204)
    Loss relief set against general income of a year is restricted to £50k or 25% of the adjusted total income of the year if higher, however, one of the exceptions to this (section 2.3 of the helpsheet) is where the loss is set against profits of the same trade.
    This is also covered at BIM85703 which says: 'The cap does not apply to trade losses so far as they are relieved against profits of the same trade.
    BIM85703 - Trade losses - restriction of relief: interaction with the income tax reliefs cap
    Thank you, 

     
  • RE: Split year treatment

    Hi Lok Kwan,
     Sorry, we cannot advise you on whether to apply for that or not as it is up to you to determine your residence status.
    If you qualify for split year then you only report any foreign income for the UK part of the year:
    RDRM12000 - Residence: The SRT: Split year treatment: Contents
    If you do not qualify then you will need to report all your foreign income to the UK:
    Tax on foreign income 
    The guidance at RDRM12150 at www.gov.uk will help you work out if split year treatment applies.
    Thank you.  


     
     
  • RE: Capital Gains Liability.

    Hi S G,s he would be shown on the deeds as part owner of the property then the transfer of equity would be seen as a sale and yes Capital G Taxains would be due on the difference on what was paid for the property to what is being paid for the transfer.
    Please refer to further guidance here:
