Thank you, I have advised the client they need to consult an employment lawyer, and also underlined that it is not my area of expertise but payroll is, so clients employers look to the accountant first, I guess.
Thank you. Does that guidance cover the position where the worker is already working in the UK on a visa? Does everything 'transfer' to the new employer, or does the new employer have to treat the worker as if they are coming to the UK? Thanks again
I thought that HMRC had taken down the ADL a while ago? Was it not taken down, or did they put it back up, or am I mistaken? Many thanks, will try them.
I deal on a day to day basis with the blind spouse and have, as I always do, sent them a paper return, but the blind spouse would struggle to sign given their disability. We want to do an SA return as each year, due to the blind person's allowance claim, transfer of surplus allowance to the tax paying spouse, and transfer of unused married couple's allowance, there is always a refund due. A call to the ICAEW may be the next step, but wanted to check here first as there must be lots of other people in the same position so wondered what they had done in these circumstances, thank you.
Thank you, that is the issue in a nutshell! I have prepared the return but can't get the taxpayers approval to file it. I have no idea how I can proceed?
Thank you, I can see the boxes on the tax return which is as you say page CG 1 Boxes 9 and 10, but the HMRC software does not so far as I can see include anywhere on the software where you can populate those boxes. It looks as though you can include those figures on Taxfiler though. So, I can presumably file the SA return from Taxfiler showing the gains already submitted with the 30 day report.
I normally use the HMRC software, but can also use Taxfiler. The HMRC software mentions offsetting gains and tax already reported, but does not seem to have anywhere that you can put the figures in. I could 'fudge' on the HMRC software. I haven't checked Taxfiler yet, but can do now.

Thank you, I received a message saying that there were no advisers available to help. That would have been a great option otherwise.
Ha ha, thank you!

Yes, agreed, thank you.
