HMRC to launch tax campaign
Electricians will soon be warned by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) that they should pay any undisclosed taxes.
Under a special time-limited tax opportunity, the Electricians Tax Safe Plan, they can pay the tax they owe and receive lower penalties than if they failed to come forward at all and HMRC caught up with them.
The campaign launches in February and full details will soon be on the HMRC website. From there, electricians have until 15 May to notify HMRC that they plan to make a voluntary tax disclosure.
We'll update you in the next e-newsletter to keep you informed.
New JIB Handbook coming soon
Keep an eye out for the new JIB handbook which is currently in production and will be distributed in February. Each member company will be sent one copy; if you would like additional copies they are available at £9 each (saving money on the standard price of £12 to non-members).
If you're a member and would like to purchase additional copies please email Yasmin Sharif with your details.
