Data Security General Data Protection Regulation Ensuring Compliance
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaced the existing Data Protection Act and applies from 25 May 2018. The GDPR requires all organisations that deal with individuals living in a EU member state to protect the personal information belonging to those individuals and to have verified proof of such protection. Failure to comply with the regulation will result in significant fines.
Cars for Employees
The current regime for taxing employer provided cars (commonly referred to as company cars) is intended: to encourage manufacturers to produce cars which are more environmentally friendly and to give employee drivers and their employers a tax incentive to choose more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles.
Data Security – Backup
Many companies are now completely reliant on the data stored on their network servers, PCs, laptops, mobile devices and in the cloud. Some of this data is likely to contain either personal information and/or confidential company information. Here we look at some of the issues to consider when reviewing the security of your computer systems and data.
Homeworking Costs for the Self-Employed
Working from home may be an attractive option for some. Here we consider the tax implications of homeworking arrangements for the self-employed. The tax rules differ considerably depending on whether you are self-employed, as a sole trader or partner, or whether you are an employee, even if that is as an employee of your own company. One way or the other though, if you want to maximise the tax position, it is essential to keep good records.
Money Laundering and the Proceeds of Crime
There are tough rules to crack down on money laundering and the proceeds of crime. These rules affect a wide range of people and we consider how your organisation may be affected. Most of us imagine money launderers to be criminals involved in drug trafficking or terrorism or to be someone like Al Capone. However, legislation in the last two decades has expanded significantly the definition of what we might have traditionally considered as money laundering.
Property Investment – Tax Aspects
Investment in property has been and continues to be a popular form of investment for many people. It is seen as a route by which relatively secure capital gains can be made on eventual sale, income returns can be generated throughout the period of ownership and mortgage finance is covered in repayment terms by the security of the eventual sale of the property and in interest terms by the rental income.
