Second Allen Tomas & Co charity golf event is a success!










The second Allen Tomas & Co Charity Golf day was held on September 23rd at Heacham Manor in Norfolk. We are pleased to say we raised over £1,000 for our chosen charities, Norfolk Hospice and the West Raynham ward at King's Lynn's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

With fantastic weather, the day was a huge success with 10 teams competing in a stableford event. The winning team were Johnsons Gift Shops Limited, second place Vitality and third place Hawkins Ryan Solicitors. The two longest drives were won by Gary Fitzjohn and Tom Mcewan and the two nearest the pins were won by Peter Zimmer Smith and Roger Lebbell - each were congratulated with a bottle of Prosecco.

We would like to thank Heacham Manor for hosting the event, the fundraising department at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Norfolk Hospice, everyone who participated and brought raffle prizes, Patric Stuart of Brancaster Golf Club and Richard Boyd for donating golf vouchers, the support of Mark Jenner from Canada Life and Sam May from Vitality.

We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

The corporation tax ‘main rate’ (currently 19%) is scheduled to increase considerably to 25% by April 2023. A new ‘small profits rate’ is also being introduced for business which make less than £50,000 profit a year. The main rate will be applied to businesses making more than £250,000 profit a year, with a ‘tapering’ of the two rates between these amounts.  Those companies under this lower £50,000 threshold will find themselves relatively unaffected by the new measures.  Businesses which find themselves between these rates will arguably be affected worst, having smaller profits to pay the extra tax from. For these companies, particularly which find themselves just over each of the limits announced, or indeed the tapering limits yet to be confirmed; additional tax planning will become an essential exercise going forward. Fortunately, these same companies will hav...
