What counts as “allowable” work clothing? HMRC’s rules are stricter than most think. Kerry Newman of SG Accounting breaks it down in our guest blog with @justcontracting. Read here: itcontracting.com/work-cloth… #AllowableExpenses #HMRC #LimitedCompany #AccountingTips

Is work clothing an allowable limited company expense? - IT Contracting

Limited company owners (including contractors) can't offset the cost of standard work clothes against tax, although there are some interesting exceptions.

Company accounts mistake after filing? You may still be able to amend them. @justcontracting: when amendments are needed, errors, and corrections at Companies House/HMRC + CT deadlines. Read: Read the full article: itcontracting.com/can-you-am… #CompanyAccounts #TaxAdvice

Can you amend your company accounts after you’ve submitted them?

It’s not unusual to spot mistakes after filing your accounts. Anything from something minor to forgetting to include income or expenses before your accounts were prepared.

PGMOL status case: Tribunal rules referees are not employees. The decision brings the long-running PGMOL employment status case to a close. While not an IR35 case, the decision is highly relevant to IR35 status assessments. ir35update.co.uk/pgmol-statu…

Dividends aren’t based on cash, they’re based on retained profits. What happens if your company makes a loss? In a blog for @justcontracting, SG's Director Kerry Newman explains when dividends may still be possible, and when they’re not. itcontracting.com/can-you-pa… #LimitedCompany

Can you pay dividends if your company has made a loss? - IT Contracting

A limited company can still pay dividends even if it has made a loss in the current year, provided it has sufficient retained profits in its accounts.

The fallout from the Post Office’s £104m IR35 liability has taken a new turn, with contractors potentially owed millions in tax after it emerged that HMRC will not offset tax already paid. ir35update.co.uk/post-office…

Post Office IR35 fallout deepens after offset not applied to £104m tax liability

HMRC will not apply an IR35 offset to the Post Office’s £104m tax bill, raising the prospect of contractor refund claims. What it means in practice.
