Charity Golf Day

The 3rd Allen Tomas & Co Financial Management Ltd Charity Golf day was held on Friday 14th September at Heacham Manor.

Organisers and Directors Ben Allen and Michael Crisp said "We had a fantastic day, the weather held and all that entered enjoyed the Golf and the well deserved hog roast afterwards. We are delighted to announce we raised £2,100. This will be split equally between the Norfolk Hospice and the Stroke Unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital (West Raynham Patient and Equipment Fund). We chose the charities based on experience of personal family treatment from the QE staff and our recent visit to the Norfolk Hospice’s purpose built facility at Hillington, which has cemented our admiration of what has been achieved here during the 5 years of our ongoing charitable support".

The format for the golf event was team friendly Texas Scramble, which all the guests enjoyed thoroughly. First place went to Ward Gethin Archer Solicitors led by Chris Dewey, second place to Home Instead Senior Care led by Tom McEwan and third place to Ward Gethin Archer Solicitors II led by James Macwhirter. Special mention goes to Cliff Kendle, Sally Sketcher, Dave Smith and Steve Leman for all winning E H Prior & Sons vouchers for their longest drive and nearest the pin success.

Ben and Michael, would like to thank summer intern Molly Sands and employees Chloe Drew and Lisa Perkins for their support, Heacham Manor (in particular Edd Howes and Karren) for its co-operation and all those who took part including the following companies for their donations and support; Ward Gethin Archer Solicitors, Home Instead Senior Care, Interestates Europe, James Johnson & Co, Agrifac UK and Michael Moore of Broadside Finance Ltd.

Budget 2021 – Small Business Owners

The planned increases to Corporation Tax Rates and what these mean for small business owners. Who will be affected? 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...

An update on ISAs

Enjoys Financial Services Compensation Scheme Protection up to £85,000 per provider. The ISA limit for 2017-18 is £20,000. Stocks and shares All or some of the annual ISA allowance can be invested in stocks and shares. This can be done directly in shares of companies or in bonds, or through funds or investment trusts, which are funds that are traded on the stock market. Investors can also use 'passive' investments, which are low cost and track different markets, such as the FTSE 100. The ISA limit for 2017-18 is £20,000. Junior Junior ISAs are for those under the age of 18. Up to £4,128 can be saved into these ISAs in the 2017-18 tax year. At age 18 this money is then converted into an adult ISA, and the child takes control (and can do what they want with the money). The money cannot be withdrawn until age 18, unless the child is te...
