Policy News Journal - 2017-18

A list of recordings is available on GOV.UK - Help and support for tax agents and advisers .

Over 7,500 agents attended our live Talking Points meetings during October and November. HMRC covered topics including: ‘VAT and Motoring Expenses’, ‘Demystifying Certificates of Residence for Limited Companies’ and ‘Paying HMRC - What’s Changing?’.

Here is what you have been saying about the meetings:

“It is helpful to hear a voice rather than putting our own interpretation on written guidance/instructions. I also find the Q&A’s are very useful”

“They provide easy to understand information in small presentations, so easy to fit into your day but keep fully informed for clients.”

Due to popular demand the Talking Points meeting on ‘Simple Assessment is here’, resulted in two additional meetings being scheduled. If you missed the meetings, why not listen back ?

This information was published in the December edition (63) of HMRC’s Agent Update.
