		<description><![CDATA[Installment 2 of our focus on entrepreneurs' relief.  In essence, the entrepreneurs’ relief rules can appear deceptively simple; it can be dangerous to assume that all business assets qualify for the relief and this should be regularly checked. In addition, there are ways in which the relief can be maximised with forward planning.  With the recent increase in the top rate of capital gains tax to 28%, it is a valuable relief and worth arranging your business affairs to ensure it is maximised.

		<description><![CDATA[Entrepreneurs’ relief can offer significant tax savings when exiting a business either completely or partially.  However to get the maximum benefit of this relief, it is important to think ahead and plan accordingly.  There are a number of qualifying criteria to consider depending on your individual circumstances, and action should be taken as soon as possible to avoid disqualification.  In most cases, entrepreneurs wishing to use this relief need to review their position at least a year before a sale to ensure they qualify.

		<description><![CDATA[If you are not a plumber (or even if you are!) you might be forgiven for not being aware of the current tax amnesty being offered by HMRC.  Plumbers, gas fitters, heating engineers and other associated trade members are all being given the chance to notify HMRC of any tax underpayment by 31st May 2011.  Provided certain conditions are met, any penalties payable will be at a greatly reduced rate.

		<description><![CDATA[Enhancements to the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) is one of the most useful policies introduced in the 2011 Budget - for business owners and tax payers looking to shelter their income from the current 50% tax rate. In addition to the increase in income tax relief from 20 per cent to 30 per cent making it more valuable to higher rate tax payers, access to the EIS scheme has also been widened.
