As we enter August 2024, several significant tax updates have been introduced in the UK, impacting businesses and individuals alike. Staying informed about these changes is crucial for ensuring compliance and optimizing your financial planning. In this article, we will cover the latest tax updates and explain how Taxomonk can assist you in navigating these changes efficiently.

Key Tax Updates in August 2024

1. Corporation Tax Rate Changes

The UK government has announced adjustments to the corporation tax rates for businesses. From August 2024, the main rate of corporation tax will increase from 25% to 26% for companies with profits exceeding £250,000. Small businesses with profits below £50,000 will continue to benefit from the lower rate of 19%, while those with profits between £50,000 and £250,000 will face a tapered rate.

2. Changes to National Insurance Contributions

National Insurance Contributions (NICs) have undergone revisions that will affect both employers and employees. The threshold for employee NICs has been increased slightly, providing some relief for lower-income earners. However, employers will see a 1% rise in the NICs rate, impacting payroll costs.

3. Introduction of the Green Investment Tax Relief

A new Green Investment Tax Relief has been introduced to incentivize businesses to invest in environmentally friendly projects. Companies investing in green technologies, such as renewable energy or carbon capture, can now claim an additional 10% tax relief on qualifying expenditures.

4. VAT Adjustments

Value-Added Tax (VAT) rates have been adjusted for certain goods and services. Notably, the reduced rate of 5% for energy-saving materials has been extended for another year, encouraging more households and businesses to adopt energy-efficient measures. Additionally, new rules on VAT registration thresholds for digital businesses have been implemented, requiring more online sellers to register for VAT.

5. Updates to Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) rates have remained unchanged, but there have been updates to the reporting requirements. From August 2024, individuals and businesses must report any capital gains exceeding £5,000 within 30 days of disposal, down from the previous 60-day requirement.
