2024/25 second payment on account deadline approaches

The second 2024/25 self-assessment (SA) payment on account for income tax and Class 4 National Insurance Contributions (NICs) is due for payment on or before midnight on Thursday 31 July 2025. Anyone who is self-employed is required to make two payments on account for 2024/25 unless: Their 2023/24 SA tax bill was less than £1,000, or  More than 80 percent of all the tax owed in 2023/24 was deducted at source, for example via PAYE.  Each payment on account made should be 50 percent of the person’s total income tax and Class 4 NICs liability for 2023/24. If the final tax liability in 2024/25 is greater than the total payments on account made, a balancing payment will be due on or before 31 January 2026.  If a taxpayer knows that their tax bill for 2024/25 is going to be lower than that in 2023/24, a claim can be made to HMRC to reduce payments on account.

‘L-day’ to take place on Monday 21 July

In a Written Ministerial Statement to Parliament by the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, it is confirmed that draft clauses for the next Finance Bill will be published next week on Monday 21 July 2025. These are expected to cover pre-announced policy changes (there are no details of precisely what though) and will include “accompanying explanatory notes, tax information and impact notes, responses to consultations and other supporting documents”. This is traditionally known as legislation day or ‘L-day’. Coverage of L-day will feature in Chartered Accountants Tax News in due course. It remains unclear precisely which policy changes we may see draft legislation published for next week, particularly if drafting is still in progress for areas such as recent consultations or where decisions are still being made on the final details of specific policies. There is, however, some speculation that we may see draft clauses for the controversial changes to inheritance tax, including the curtailing of agricultural property relief and business property relief. The Institute has previously written to the Government on this and also responded to the technical consultation which took place earlier this year.

Maintain medium-sized transfer pricing exemption for Northern Ireland

This is the key recommendation of the Institute’s Northern Ireland Tax Committee, chaired by Janette Burns, in its response last week to the UK Government consultation ‘Transfer pricing scope and documentation’. This consultation proposes to remove the medium sized transfer pricing exemption for cross-border transactions, which as the Committee has highlighted, will have a disproportionate impact in Northern Ireland for transactions with its nearest neighbour, Ireland. For that reason, the Committee recommends that the medium sized exemption remains for these transactions. The Committee also recommended that there be a transition period of at least three years before removal of the medium sized exemption, if this proceeds. It also took the opportunity to highlight the need for the regional impact of policy changes to be embedded throughout the UK tax policy consultation and implementation cycle in future.

New guidance published on the VAT treatment of event admissions

Revenue has issued new guidance on the VAT treatment of admission to events outlining the relevant place of supply rules for events and related ancillary services. The guidance also sets out the new place of supply rules, effective from 1 January 2025, for virtual or streamed events delivered to non-taxable individuals. The relevant place of supply rules will be determined by considering whether the event is a physical event, a virtual event or an electronically supplied service and if the supply is to a non-taxable person or to a business. A useful summary table is included in section 4.4 of the guidance summarising the various rules. The guidance confirms that the rate of VAT applicable to admission to an event depends on the type of event being held. Ancillary services associated with admission to an event follow the same place of supply rules applicable to the event itself. The manual relating to the VAT treatment of education and vocational training has also been updated as it includes a consequential amendment arising from the new place of supply rules.
