    We have pleasure in attaching our 2013 Budget Summary for your perusal. Whilst as usual nothing major changes, the summary documents all the details in an easy to read layout.

From April 2013 it is £9,440 - the introduction of an allowance of £2,000 per year for all businesses and charities to be offset against their employer Class 1 NIC liability from April 2014 - flat rate expenses being clarified for “use of home as office” dependant on the number of relevant hours - a new scheme for tax free childcare - the introduction of a cash basis of reporting profits for small unincorporated businesses (i.e. non companies)
