Accountancy Job Vacancies
Two Accountancy maternity cover positions required to be fulfilled immediately: 1. Qualified Chartered Accountant or part-qualified with good experience. 2. Qualified Accounting Technician or experienced book-keeper. The successful candidate will be required to prepare or assist in the preparation of accounts, submission of tax returns and have a good knowledge of VAT, PAYE, RCT and CIS. Experience of using Xero & VT software would be a distinct advantage. Both jobs could extend to full time positions due to expansion, depending upon the success of the candidate during maternity cover. Contact Brian McCullagh by forwarding CV to brian@bmcca.com
TAX CHANGES COMING INTO FORCE
There are a raft of new tax changes coming into force on 6 April 2016. Find enclosed our newsletter which provides a summary of the changes which may affect you.
NI CORPORATION TAX RATE
The NI corporation tax rate is scheduled to reduce to 12.5%, well below the standard rate for the rest of the UK. Will it apply to you? Contact us to be sure but click here for a brief summary of the conditions.
PERSONAL SAVINGS ALLOWANCE
How much is the personal savings allowance? Basic-rate (20%) taxpayers – will be able to earn £1,000 interest with no tax (so a max tax saving of £200 compared with before). Higher-rate (40%) taxpayers – will be able to earn £500 interest with no tax (so a max tax saving of £200 compared with before). Additional-rate (45%) taxpayers: £0 – they do not get an allowance. Interest that is already tax-free isn’t included – so this includes ISA interest and Premium Bond ‘winnings’. Interest from these will still be paid tax-free, it just won’t count toward your PSA limit. So, if you get £500 in ISA interest, and you’re a basic-rate taxpayer, you’ll still have £1,000 of PSA to cover other interest.
COMPANIES HOUSE CONFIRMATION STATEMENT
From June 2016, annual returns will be replaced by a confirmation statement. To review what this means and what the changes are, click here.
BMC ACCOUNTANTS SPONSOR EDENDORK GAC FUNDRAISER
BMC Accountants Ltd helped launch the Edendork GAC bike race from Kildare to Tyrone on Saturday 28th May 2016 in memory of their former club chairman Dessie Fox. Dessie, who was brother in law of our managing director Brian McCullagh, was murdered in 1990 when he was robbed on his way to the racetrack with his float as a bookmaker. Those responsible have never been caught and the fundraiser was used to appeal for new information on the attack. Find more information on the RTE website here.
