Accountax 2010 Seminars


Autumn Essentials
...
Construction Industry Update Seminar
   

The last few years have seen HMRC launch an offensive against the Construction Industry and have left the ill-advised and unwary facing ruinous tax bills and vast sums in penalties. This is an unmissable seminar for any practitioner or contractor involved in the construction industry, designed by the specialists at Accountax to bring you up to date with the very latest developments, tactics and pitfalls.

HMRC has publicly stated that yet more new legislation for the construction industry is within its sights once the UK emerges from recession - get the latest updates from the experts at handling the most contentious CIS issues.

The seminar topics will include:
 
  • False self-employment - was the announcement in the Pre-Budget Report a temporary reprieve for the industry, the calm before the storm, or has the project been shelved? We will bring you the latest on the proposed new legal definition of self-employment.
  • Gross Payment under threat - the class action by seven contractors against HMRC's notices of withdrawal is now being heard. Find out how the 'magnificent seven' fared in their argument that HMRC have issued invalid notices. PLUS a whole raft of new case law reveals how the Tribunal is regarding cashflow issues during the recession.

  • Yet more penalties - we predicted it last year: the Courts have thrown the whole system of monthly CIS penalties into turmoil. We will take you through the monumental implications of the SKG case and how to argue on your client's behalf.
  • Case studies - regardless of any new legislation in the pipeline, HMRC inspectors are out in force on a mission to reclassify the self-employed. We bring you three case studies from our recent archives: what went wrong, how the problem was solved, and how to prevent your client falling into the same trap.
 
As the stricter compliance screws tighten and penalties increase we are seeing an ever expanding gulf emerge between the well-advised and those with their heads in the sand. At the beginning of 2010 we were representing clients against claims totalling in excess of £20 million in backdated duty and penalties!
