Small businesses lose out on rate relief

Many small businesses in the UK are unaware of the tax break, it has been claimed.

The Small Business Rate Relief (SBRR) is available to small businesses that have a rateable value of their premises below £12,000.

However, those with a rateable value of up to £6,000 will pay no business rates until September 2012. Ratepayers will receive SBRR of 100% on properties up to £6,000 rather than the original 50% and a tampering relief from 100% to 0% will be in place for properties over £6,000 up to £12,000 in rateable value for that period.

According to accountancy firm, Mitchell Charlesworth, there is more than £400 million Small Business Rate Relief (SBRR) sitting unclaimed each year. Busin

What Is The Difference Between UTMA and UGMA?

UTMA and UGMA are very similar. Both are uniform code proposals adopted by the individual states. Like other uniform codes (the uniform building code is a common one, for example) these work by proposing a common framework for states to use in order to prevent a hard to use patchwork of laws in each state.

The uniform code did not prevent one important variation. The UTMA or UGMA account comes under the control of the beneficiary when he reaches the age of maturity. However, that age varies from state to state. Typically, the beneficiary assumes control of the UGMA or UTMA at age 18 or 21.

The UTMA and UGMA are two different uniform codes, but they are more alike than they are different.

UTMA is the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act. People say, “ut-mah” when they talk about them.

UGMA is the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act. People say “ug-mah” when they talk about these.

Both UTMA and UGMA were created to allow adults, usually parents, to transfer assets to minors without the need to establish a special trust to enable such ownership.

The Most Expensive Homes in America

House Hunters has nothing on these homes.  With cable television being a purveyor of home shopping as a means of entertainment, it seems everyone is wanting not only to keep up with the Jones’, but to also take a sneak peek at their closet space or bathroom updates.

The most entertaining house hunting shows feature homes that walked right off the set of Life Styles of the Rich and Famous with Robin Leach to House Hunters production.  But these homes, even at the biggest and best, pale in comparison with the real big boys on the block of the dream home market.

You want to take a peek? Well, that is not likely. The

Business Confidence High Small Business No Comments »

Small business confidence is at a high

Confidence among UK small businesses is at its highest level since October 2009, new research shows.

According to research carried out by workplace provider Regus, the Business Confidence Index (BCI) is at an average of 108 points, which is relatively encouraging considering the economic conditions.

The latest Business Tracker report, which published findings from over 4,000 UK businesses, found that small business confidence measured 103 in the index. Approximately 26% of small businesses said they experienced an increase in profits last year.

Despite high levels of optimism, small businesses will remain cautious in their projections for 2011. Only 27% believe the economy will advance in the latter half of the year.

Difference Between a Rollover and a Transfer

When it comes to rollovers or transfers between 401k accounts and IRA accounts, one word makes a lot of difference.

A 401k rollover requires that 20 percent of the amount being rolled over be withheld for taxes, even though the account owner still has to deposit 100 percent of the amount within 60 days to avoid taxes and penalties.

A 401k transfer requires no withholding and moves the funds tax-free.

An IRA rollover gives the account owner 60 days to deposit any rolled over funds into a new IRA account. IRS rules limit each taxpayer to only one rollover per year.

An IRA transfer moves the money directly to a new qualified retirement plan account with no delays and with no one per year limits.

A trustee-to-trustee transfer occurs when you move funds from one qualified retirement plan custodian to another without ever having control of the money. The easiest way for the IRA owner to do this is electronically with the the financial institutions moving the money from one account to the other by computer.

The first step to buying your first home – more than just the deposit

When it comes to significant milestones, one that many Australians dream to tick off in their lifetime to do list is to own a home. A home represents so much more than just bricks and mortar – it’s a foundation for building a family and whole new lifestyle.

For most, the first step to realising their dream of home ownership is to spend some time scrimping and saving the pennies to put towards a deposit. Most home sales require a 10-20% deposit up front at the time of settlement – but that won’t be the only cash you’ll be forking over at the time of sale.

Before you ever move your first box of belongings or bring a single stick of furniture into your new abode, be prepared for these additional costswith home loans:
