The latest updates from Milsted Langdon
In this issue, we begin with our Autumn Budget summary before moving on to a seasonal focus, looking at the Tax and VAT considerations around festive gifts, trivial benefits and Christmas party expenses, before celebrating our sponsorship of the Taunton Round Table Gala in aid of Love Musgrove.
Our tax specialists also examine the significant changes to the UK’s residency rules six months on from the introduction of the new Foreign Income and Gains regime and we explore the upcoming increases to Companies House filing fees and the introduction of mandatory digital ID verification.
For employers engaging contractors, we highlight HMRC’s confirmation that more companies will fall outside the IR35 Off-Payroll Working rules from April 2026, following increases to the financial thresholds for “small” companies.
Finally, in our “Meet the Expert” series, we introduce James Hardy, Director in our Forensic Accounting team. James shares insight into the fascinating world of forensic accountancy, the high-profile cases that shaped his career and what keeps him busy outside the office.
If you would like advice on any of the topics covered in this edition, our team is here to help. Please do get in touch.
