Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
Dormant companies
A dormant company is one with no significant accounting transactions in the year, where the only permitted entries are the payment for shares on incorporation, Companies House fees and penalties. It still files a confirmation statement and simplified dormant accounts every year. A bank charge or an accountant's fee paid from the company ends dormancy and requires full accounts.
The trading and property allowances
The first £1,000 of trading income and, separately, the first £1,000 of property income each year is tax free under the trading and property allowances. Below those figures no return is needed for that income. Above them you can deduct the £1,000 allowance instead of actual expenses if that is better, which suits side businesses and single-room lets with few costs.
Employer National Insurance
The cost of an employee is more than the salary. Employer National Insurance at 15% above £5,000 a year, the 3% minimum pension contribution, holiday pay, equipment and management time all come on top. The Employment Allowance of £10,500 reduces the National Insurance for most employers with more than one person on the payroll.
Workplace pensions and auto-enrolment
Workplace pension compliance is part of payroll, not separate from it. Each pay period the payroll assesses who is eligible, calculates employer and employee contributions on qualifying earnings between the lower and upper thresholds, and sends the contribution file to the scheme. The minimum total is 8%, and many employers choose to contribute more as a recruitment advantage.
Record keeping
HMRC requires records of all income and expenses, bank statements, invoices and receipts to be kept for at least five years after the 31 January filing deadline of the tax year they relate to, and companies must keep records for six years from the end of the accounting period. Digital copies are acceptable. Under Making Tax Digital the records must be kept in compatible software.
Allowable expenses
The expenses sole traders most often miss are home working costs, claimed by actual proportion or HMRC's flat rate, the business share of phone and internet, mileage at 45p for the first 10,000 business miles, and training that maintains existing skills. The ones most often claimed wrongly are commuting, entertaining customers and clothes that could be worn outside work.
Crypto records and reporting
Crypto tax splits into capital gains on disposals and income on rewards, with different rates and different reporting. The £3,000 annual exempt amount and the 18% and 24% rates apply to gains; staking, mining and airdrop income is taxed at marginal income tax rates. HMRC's nudge letters to holders have increased sharply, and a voluntary disclosure before one arrives is treated far more leniently.
Questions
Capital Gains Tax questions from Telford
I am not UK resident but sold a UK property. Do I need to report?
Yes. Non-residents must report all UK land and property disposals within 60 days, whether or not tax is due, and residential property gains are generally rebased to April 2015 values. The rules differ from those for residents and the penalties for not reporting are the same. We handle non-resident returns regularly.
I am an executor. Do I report gains for the estate?
Yes. During the administration period the estate is a separate taxpayer with its own annual exemption and pays CGT at 24% on gains above probate value. Residential property sales by the estate are subject to the 60-day rule. We prepare the estate computations and the trust and estate return pages.
Do transfers between spouses trigger tax?
No. Transfers between spouses or civil partners living together are at no gain and no loss; the recipient takes over the original cost. This allows both annual exemptions and both basic rate bands to be used on a later sale, which is a common and legitimate way to reduce the tax on a jointly planned disposal.
What if I sell shares from an employee share scheme?
It depends on the scheme. Shares from a SAYE or SIP scheme have specific cost rules and sometimes income tax has already been paid on part of the value. Options exercised and sold on the same day may have no gain at all. We need the scheme documents and the exercise and sale figures, and we apply the correct treatment for each.
How do you work out gains on shares bought at different times?
Disposals are matched first to shares bought the same day, then to shares bought in the following 30 days, then to the section 104 pool, which holds all other shares of that class at their average cost. The same rules apply to funds and to crypto. We run the matching across your full history.
Can I use losses from previous years?
Yes, if they were claimed on a return within four years of the tax year in which they arose. Current-year losses are set against current-year gains first, even if that wastes the annual exemption; brought-forward losses are only used to the extent needed to bring gains down to the exemption. We check for unclaimed historical losses as standard.
