Despite the chaos that surrounds us, good old TB testing still continues (at least at present). Annual and pre-movement tests have yet to be cancelled and so for those affected, there is a very good link page that I will attempt to reproduce.
This should take you to the home page of TB hub.
I have been struggling for the details of last nights speech, largely because there are few about as yet. Ed Nichols, has found a copy of a HMRC link, which is probably as good as we are going to get. Please note – the taxpayer need do nothing yet and no cash will be forthcoming until June. I am beginning to fear that there is a great difference between the politicians (no doubt well intentioned statements) and their implementation. More anon.

The chancellor is making his statement concerning the self employed. I will post the document once presented.
Dear all,
Still waiting for self employed relief. On the ground we are already finding that the fine words of the Chancellor and PM are not being enacted by the Banks, who are quickly interpreting their own rule book to suit. This is disappointing, given that they were bailed out only 10 years ago.
Please find the ICAEW guidance on the implementation of the 80% relief.

Hello
I’m not sure what you are planning on putting in the Covid 19 H&C letter but I just wanted to highlight and VAT an income tax support available to clients
VAT – VAT payments due between 20/03/2020 and 30/06/2020 have been deferred until 05/04/2021 for that period. It doesn’t give any guidance on VAT return submissions. It looks like they need to be filed online at present.
July 2020 self-assessment payment – These have been deferred until 31st Jan 2021
See guidance:

If you need anything during this period please give me a call.
Many thanks
Ed
Amongst all the quite justified doom and gloom at present there is perhaps a little ray of sunlight. According to my telephone it hasn’t rained for nearly a week and there’s not a single drop forecast for the next 10 days either. Let’s hope that the drilling can now begin in earnest and who knows some cattle may even be let out soon too. Fingers crossed.
Please see an announcement concerning the suspension of ongoing benefit assessments.

Whether this will eventually rank alongside Neville Chamberlain’s speech of 3rd September 1939 remains to be seen………
