January 2006

Points to Ponder

This is now our fourteenth newsletter – produced during January 2006 and issued in February, to keep you up to date with some of the changes in Income tax, National Insurance and VAT along with compliance regulations for businesses. As we don’t write to all of you each month, we shall run the notes on a rolling three or four month basis, so if you think you have missed a month, just call and we can tell what points were covered. Don’t forget to keep us updated with any changes of address, including e-mail addresses. Please note our change of e-mail address above.
