HMRC’S EX-PAT COMPOSITE SCHEME

Similarly if you are looking to use the scheme for the first time you will need to be aware how to register. HMRC have published details of these changes, along with a revised Security Declaration for new users, which you can view by clicking this link .
SA DONATE WILL CLOSE IN APRIL 2012
24 February 2012 SA Donate is the scheme for Self Assessment taxpayers to direct HM Revenue & Customs to pay any Self Assessment tax refund to a charity of their choice. From April 2012 Self Assessment taxpayers will no longer be able to donate any Self Assessment tax refund directly from their Self Assessment tax return to a charity of their choice. The scheme, introduced in 2005, has not been used very much, and would need an extensive upgrade to safeguard it from fraud. As a result, at Budget 2011, the Government announced its intention to withdraw the scheme from April 2012. This means that donors will no longer be able to send a tax refund to a charity straight from their tax return from April 2012. This option will be removed for forms for tax years 2011-12 onwards and while it will still appear on forms for earlier years these repayments will be sent to the taxpayer and not to the nominated charity. Donors can still donate their tax refund to any charity themselves and claim Gift Aid if the qualifying conditions have been met.
