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!

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...

Why are CPD and Qualifications important to us and our clients?

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is activity undertaken to ensure our skills and knowledge are up-to-date. The Chartered Insurance Institute member CPD scheme provides a practical framework for ensuring development is addressed in a structured way to meets our personal and business needs and requirements of the CII as a Chartered professional body. CPD is a common requirement for qualified members of professional bodies. It reflects the fact that, in today's fast changing world, knowledge gained through qualifications quickly dates and, if you are to remain competent, you must continue to develop and enhance your knowledge. Equally, eligibility for and use of member qualification designations is not simply an indicator of study completed, but also of a commitment to subsequently keeping this knowledge current and being bound by a Code of Ethics. We believe it is essential to be part of this CPD programme and go beyond in studying CII modules, this allows us to: Build publi...
