    In anticipation of tomorrow’s Budget, Paul Beausang, Partner and Head of Real Estate Tax at Eversheds Sutherland, considers the impact of potential tax announcements and warns of the delicate balance required when increasing employers’ national insurance contributions: “The Chancellor has a fine line to tread in raising employers’ national insurance contributions whilst arguing this is not a tax on ‘working people’.   “Given the various coy comments from Ministers, it seems as if working people do not include those who realise gains, earn material passive income (from shares, property or deposits) or have salaries of more than £100,000. I suspect the latter may surprise quite a few individuals who might otherwise have thought they worked quite hard!   “Following pushback from public sector unions regarding income tax relief on pension contributions, this now appears much less likely. Pensions however are still in the Chancellor’s sights, with a mooted inheritance tax charge on pension lump sums passing to beneficiaries.   “The hard-pressed retail sector has also been crying out for an extension of the 75% business rates relief, due to expire in April 2025, with the British Retail Consortium calling out the 34% of total rates paid by hospitality and retail sectors whilst only accounting for 9% of the economy. The Chancellor has remained tight-lipped, with retailers fearing that letting a relief expire is politically easier than introducing a further tax.” #Budget2024

    Ahead of the UK #Budget2024, Robert Waterson, Partner and UK Head of Tax Disputes speaks about investment in HMRC:    “The Courts and Tribunals urgently require investment and additional resources to manage the increasing volume and complexity of cases.   “The upcoming Budget presents an opportunity to secure essential investment in HMRC, which will bring much needed resources to speed up enquiries, enhance quality, and improve consistency of service for taxpayers and corporations.    “Such investment will also help mitigate the damaging delays and uncertainties currently running through the administration of the tax system."

    On October 7, 2024, the Department of Treasury and IRS issued proposed regulations clarifying the federal tax classification of certain entities wholly owned by Native American Tribes. Native American Tribes are generally exempt from federal income tax. The Proposed Regulations provide that a Wholly Owned Tribal Entity is not recognized as a separate entity from the Tribe that owns it. To qualify as a Wholly Owned Tribal Entity, the entity must be wholly owned by one or more Native American Tribes, and the entity must be chartered under the laws of the Tribe or Tribes that own it. This treatment applies regardless of whether such entity is an “integral part” of Tribal government. #Energy #Tax https://lnkd.in/e_-jWpBZ

    In HMRC v Professional Game Match Officials Ltd [2024] UKSC 29, the UK Supreme Court considered the question of whether part-time match officials were employees or self-employed for tax purposes and, therefore, whether Professional Game Match Officials Ltd was liable to make deductions for income tax and National Insurance contributions in respect of the payments it made to those individuals. In this briefing, we discuss the key takeaways from the judgment in relation to the determination of the #employment status of workers for #tax purposes, particularly regarding how the tests set out in Ready Mixed Concrete (South East) Ltd v Minister of Pensions and National Insurance [1968] 2 QB 497 should be applied.
