Digital webinar dates available for Working Together Workshops
18 February 2015
HMRC has arranged for a series of workshops to take place around the country to seek your views and input as to how they engage agents digitally. For those members who cannot attend one of the face to face meetings, HMRC has arranged two webinar sessions.
Face to face workshops
We posted a news item on 2 February inviting you to join HMRC in their regional Working Together Workshops to network with other tax professionals and share your thoughts and suggestions on ways for HMRC to engage digitally. At these workshops HMRC will also showcase what they currently do digitally with SME’s to get your thoughts on what could be developed for the agent community. It is anticipated that each meeting will last no longer than 3 hours. There are still spaces available for these meetings and you can see the full schedule of events through our news item . Dates run from 20 February through to 30 March.
Please confirm your attendance and indicate your preferred choice of venue by email to steve.massey@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk .

HMRC Agent Update 46
26 February 2015
The latest Agent Update from HMRC includes the usual helpful round-up of news and reminders, including updates on digital support for agents and Working Together actions.
The 46th issue of Agent Update is a good way of ensuring that you have missed nothing in the past two or three months.
This issue covers many subjects that will be familiar to you, but one that you may have put off getting to know is that of the new reporting requirements for Employment Intermediaries that comes in to force as from April 2015 and which requires the Intermediary to report to HMRC where certain conditions have been met and yet they have not operated PAYE. Brief guidance has been added to GOV.UK that provides a Background into why these measures were introduced and the specific impact they have on the Intermediary the Worker and the Client . Following the government response to the consultations held in 2014 that looked at a package of measures aimed at simplifying Expenses & Benefits in Kind (BiKs). As from April 2015, a statutory exemption will be introduced which will allow employers to identify and treat certain low value BiKs provided to employees as ‘trivial’.
