Basis Period Reforms - A Bitesized Update

Introduction

To assist facilitating the eventual move to making tax digital, legislation has been introduced abolishing basis periods for the self-employed sole traders and partners in partnerships from 6 April 2024, with transitional provisions applying for 2023/24.

The transitional provisions mean the crystallisation of overlap relief by 5 April 2024.

This 30 minute updated webinar will take you through who is affected by the changes, illustrate the problems arising, and how to access overlap profit figures for the 2023/24 self-assessment, together with changes and easements on self-assessment (SA) estimates and amendments.
