Remittance

Foreign remittances are the backbone of Pakistan economy. The inflow is in billions each month. Many IT and IT support businesses are getting biggest chunk of their revenue from their foreign clients. So the exchange rates are very important factor. Many services are available to get these remittances and sometime Rs 2 or 3 difference in exchange rates reduces the earned income in thousands. Paypal service is not available in Pakistan but now attractive alternatives are available. Here i am going to discuss some very good services which are providing very reasonable exchange rates and their time of delivery is also not bad at all.

They are claiming to reduce about 5% hidden bank charges which seems true. First withdrawal may take more than a week but after that there will be no delays. Helpline is available and they respond to the queries in a day.

First Accounting Period- Corporation Tax

It is very important to register for Corporation tax in the first year of trade if you start trading after your company setup date because this will decide how many tax returns you need to submit if your first year of accounting is more than one year. HMRC has given two clear example to explain the issue.   Example 1 (If registered for Corporation tax service before accounting reference date) Company set up date is 11 May 2014, started trading at 22 July 2014 , register for Corporation Tax 26 August 2014 and accounting reference date is 31 May 2015. In this case only 1 tax return covering period 22/07/2014 to 31/05/2015 need to be submitted plus year end accounts from 11/05/2014 to 31/05/2015.

But in case of disposal of property capital gains or losses will be shared in the ownership ratio. No inheritance tax in case of gift of property between spouses if married couple have same domicile (Uk or Non UK).  Form 17 is required to be filled to HMRC if rental income is shared by married couple within 60 days. If the property is owned by single spouse or unmarried couple then Form 17 requirement does not apply. Lets see an example, A couple own a property which they let o...
