Local Property Tax return deadline

Property owners of residences newly liable for Local Property Tax (LPT) for the first time in 2025 are reminded to submit their LPT Return by next Monday, 2 December 2024. A property may become newly liable for LPT in 2025 if it is a newly-built residential property completed after 1 November 2023 and on, or before, 1 November 2024. It may also be newly liable to LPT if it has become occupied, or suitable for use as a dwelling, after 1 November 2023 and on, or before, 1 November 2024. A taxpayer who owns a property which is newly liable for LPT is required to value their property as at 1 November 2021. Revenue’s website contains guidance on valuing newly liable properties, with further information on LPT available on Revenue’s dedicated LPT webpage.

Special VAT regime for small enterprises

From 1 January 2025, the special VAT regime (the SME scheme) will go live, allowing certain small enterprises to sell goods and services without charging VAT to their customers (in effect a VAT exemption) thereby alleviating their VAT compliance obligations.  Any small enterprise with a total annual turnover of no more than €100,000 (or the equivalent in its national currency) in all Member States, for the current and previous calendar year, is eligible for VAT exemption in its Member State of establishment and/or in other Member State(s) under the cross-border SME scheme.

Institute meets HMRC to discuss the Autumn Budget 2024

Last week the Institute met with HMRC to discuss the 2024 Autumn Budget. We expressed concern and shared our views on the impact of a range of changes including increased employment costs as a result of the National Minimum Wage and employer National Insurance Contribution changes from April 2025. We also highlighted the damaging impact that the 2026 changes to key inheritance tax reliefs (agricultural property relief and business property relief) will have, particularly for Northern Ireland family-owned businesses and farms. The Institute recommended to HMRC that the Government consult more widely on these particular changes and we highligted the need for any anti-forestalling legislation to be fair. These changes should not impact retrospectively on lifetime gifts already made in the seven years prior to 6 April 2026. The changes need to be properly considered before implementation given the impact they will have on both indigenous businesses and investors in the UK. Other issues discussed were the fuel duty dilemma, tax simplification, the taxation of electric vehicles, the practical impact of the in-year capital gains tax rate changes, the extension in this Parliament of Making Tax Digital for income tax to the £20,000 - £30,000 turnover population and regulation of the UK tax agent market.
