Any idea how many ambulancemen and firefighters are likely to have enough to pay IHT ?  Like squaddies ?  Nonsense.

R & D Tax Credit up

Good news, the 11% rate of relief for SME's is to be lifted to 14%

This is a massive increase but hopefully the 'detail' may do a little more to help innovative companies benefit from RDTR when approaching break even

Why isn't Mr Balls making the response for the opposition?

Ah yes - because he made such a hash of it last time....

I'm having difficulties...

I am writing my newsletter on the Budget as we speak - and I'm finding it difficult. Nothing for my small businesses who already get the AIA. The pension changes are welcome (but a bit late for my clients who took their pensions a few months ago!) plus the increase and changes to ISA's but as oldersimon says the interest they are getting is nothing.

It would have been better to have done something for NIC's. Are the building proposals really a good thing? The words 'Housing Bubble' come to mind.

I'm going to have a look at the published document online in case I missed something....

Class II NI to be collected through self assessment

Although none of us knows how to calculate it we all know there is something called an annual maximum for NI purposes.

If class II NI is to be collected through self assessment isn't this going to involve our tax software writers coming up with some rather wonderful enhancements to their products?

Budget

Well, what can I say apart from what an absolute rubbish Budget. One point in particular was increasing the AIA to £500K for all businesses, this really helps small businesses doesn't it, don't know about anyone else but we have no small business clients who would spend that amount in one year, yet another indication that the government favours the RICH!!!

Class II NI and Tax Software

@k.bonney

daveforbes has beaten me to it.

Overall tax software follows the rules and calculations set out by HMRC. Whilst building NI into the tax return will be a new section for us to worry about, software such as TaxCalc will be able to handle this change fairly seamlessly. Validations will be incorporated to ensure the maximum limits are not exceeded.
