Website Update
The tax rates for the year are
now on the inland revenues website but we have not released them as we
have been caught by this before and there is a good chance they may
change. (Remember last year). The G20 meeting seemed to be a success
and gives confidence but we all are eagerly awaiting the budget speech
as they refine and re-refine what is needed and hopefully what will
work.
A lot must be happening, even the
tax briefing they released were not in sequential order. If the reason
for the delay is they just want to get it right, wells that
understandable. I’m looking forward to all the reports a few days after
the budget to allow all the experts to have some time to digest and
give their views on what is in it and what the effects will be. Will
keep you informed.

Business Tip
We are all spending a lot of time
on the internet. We visit vast number of websites and sometimes neglect
our own. Take some time or ask a friend to look at your website with a
specific purpose and ask them
-
What they think?
-
If they found what they
were looking for?
-
Did they like the look of
the site?
-
Have they any suggestions?
In fact have a look at our site www.scopulus.co.uk
and email us with the answers to the above questions and we will give
out rewards for anything we take on board.

them to cope with the new environment we find ourselves in. You can get

Legal News
New employment laws came into
effect on 6 April 2009 concerning statutory holidays. This seems to be
more a European way of thinking but I’m sure there will be no
complaints. Read
