Tax Adept ACCOUNTANTS

REVIEWING THE CHANGES TO ENTREPRENEURS’ RELIEF Entrepreneurs’ Relief (ER) is available to taxpayers on the disposal of the whole or part of their business, allowing them to pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT) at a rate of 10% rather than 20% (subject to a lifetime limit of £10 million).

In the 2018 Autumn Budget, new conditions were introduced to ensure shareholders benefiting from ER have a ‘minimum economic stake in the company’.

be demonstrated by the shareholder. The alternative test asks whether the taxpayer is entitled to 5% of the disposal proceeds in the event of a disposal of the ordinary share capital of the company being sold.

Qualifying companies

New legislation provides relief where a growing company wishes to raise finance by means of the issue of new shares for cash. At present this could result in an individual’s shareholding becoming ‘diluted’, and falling below the 5% required to claim ER.

ER is available on the gains made on the disposals of shares and securities in a trading company or the holding company of a trading group. A trading company is defined as one ‘carrying on trading activities whose activities do not include, to a substantial extent, activities other than trading activities’. Put another way, trade must make up the majority of company activity.

Shareholders making new investments on or after 6 April 2019 will be able to make an election, and treat them as if they had disposed of their shares and immediately reacquired them at market value just before dilution. In order to avoid an immediate CGT bill on this deemed disposal, a further election can be made to defer the gain until such time as the shares are actually sold. ER can then be claimed. The £10 million lifetime limit remains intact, and taxpayers continue to benefit from an annual exempt amount of £12,000 in 2019/20, on which CGT is not due.

How we can help Outlining the new conditions In order to qualify for ER, the taxpayer must be an officer or employee of the company and hold at least 5% of the ordinary share capital, and 5% of the associated voting rights.

Shareholders must now also show they are entitled to at least 5% of the company’s distributable profits and 5% of net assets on the winding up of the company. However, an alternative test is available if these conditions cannot www.taxadept.co.uk

As you can see, the ER rules are particularly complex. If you are considering selling or giving away part or all of your business, please get in touch with us to see if you qualify for ER. Tax Adept offers a range of services which are specifically designed to help you and your business.

COMMENT

BENEFIT FROM YEAR OF CULTURE

I

n last issue of Southwater Life you could read about the launch of Horsham District Year of Culture 2019 (YOC). The region is now well and truly set for a unique year of widespread cultural celebration which will showcase world class musicians, multimillion selling authors and high profile actors alongside local brewers holding barnstorming music nights, ukulele jams, children’s parades, classical concerts, innovative sculptural installations and much more.

YOC is not confined to just Horsham and you can read on page 12 about a literary talk being held on Barnaby Bernard Lintot at Beeson House, Lintot Square in Southwater on Wednesday 13th March from 7.00 to 8.30 pm (entrance cost £2). There will be a number of

major ‘firsts’ for the District as part of YOC. The first ever large scale outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, which will take place at Knepp Castle, the first ever Horsham Film Festival, the first ever Sussex Comedian of the Year competition and the first ever project to include projections and lights in a variety of town and village locations.

You can read about YOC on page 10 and throughout the issue there are articles on forthcoming events. Its truly a unique opportunity for you to experience a huge range of cultural events. Please do not take it for granted because you will never get a better chance to see so much on your doorstep!

NEW INITIATIVES COMING TO SYP

S

pring is coming and we would like to get out and about in our community meeting youngsters where they are on the streetsand in the parks etc. To do this we are looking to build our Detached Youth Work Team (DYWT).

The aim of the DYWT is to positively engage with young people and help them to access support and activities which may improve their opportunities in the future.

We are hoping to go out and about on differing nights depending on the availability of team members. Team members need to be able to offer at least one session a month, (a session is a two hour slot during the day for holiday times or a two hour evening slot) but we can be flexible on this. All team members have to have a current DBS (which we will do on their behalf), an informal interview/chat and will be offered training opportunities in first aid and basic youth work skills. And of course a chance to get fit as you will be out and about walking around the community. If this sounds like something you would like to get involved in, then I would love to hear from you.

LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE & SYP GET ACTIVE

‘Love Where You Live’ is looking to get children and young people to take more of an interest in there community such as doing litter picks, keeping local green areas clean and tidy and encouraging wildlife in community areas such as the woodland walk around the bridge area and other green spaces in Southwater. We are looking to get together every now and then, rather than offering weekly sessions. If you, or

8

MARCH 2019

your son/daughter would like to get involved in this, then please register your/their interest by emailing name, and contact details. So that we can get in touch

when we are ready to launch the scheme. ‘SYP Get Active’ is where we are looking to get a weekly active session for young people. For example a chance to get out and about for a kick about, shoot some hoops, try out new activities such as orienteering or ultimate frisbee etc. We are also looking to start up a Simply Run Group for youngsters of all abilities to go for a weekly supervised run in the village, a chance to get fit, get away from computer screens and meet friends.

Both these initiatives are in the early planning stages and we look forward to sharing more about these as we develop them. If you would like to get involved in any of these or any of our weekly youth club sessions, then please do get in touch.

Weekly sessions @ youth club in Beeson House Tuesday After School Club, 3.30-5pm for youngsters in school years 3-6 Tuesday Duke of Edinburgh Award Group Wednesday 6.30-8pm currently youth alpha (changes each half term/term) Thursday 6.30-8pm Junior Youth Club for youngsters in school years 6-8 Friday 7-9pm Youth Club for those in secondary school.

There will be library displays and information, which you’ll also find on our website, as well as a talk from Jeremy Knight, Horsham Museum and Heritage Officer, who will bring alive to you the dramatic, eventful life of Lintot and how modern publishing was born.

The talk will take place at Beeson House,

Lintot Square in Southwater on Wednesday 13th March from 7.00 to 8.30 p.m.and the cost will be £2 (book your tickets at writerscirclebookings@gmail.com).

LIKE A COUPLE OF INTERTWINING VINES

By John Snelling

St Mary’s Parish Church from a postcard, Horsham early 1900s.

H

orsham’s oldest surviving institution is surely the Church, and St.Mary’s is the (we hope) enduring symbol of it. But where must we look to find the runner-up in the Horsham History Stakes? Surely, the prize money for second place must go to Collyer’s, formerly ‘The Grammar School’, now the College of Richard Collyer in Horsham. The foundation date of Collyer’s is reckoned to be 1532, the year that Richard Collyer (or Collier) signed the will that endowed his school. So one need not have attended Collyer’s to work out that Collyer’s the institution is about half the age of the Parish Church. Over the centuries both institutions have grown in Horsham like a couple of intertwining vines, and both have developed and changed over the centuries to such an extent that Richard Collyer and Roger of Wallingford (the first identified Vicar) would be astonished to see their respective institutions today. Collyer never saw his at all, of course - such is the fate of all testatory benefactors!

It is tempting to muse that Richard Collyer’s

The ‘new’ Collyer’s School from 1893.

story is one of ‘rags to riches’, and it probably is. He was born in or around Horsham, and is first heard of on his way up as a merchant in the Mercers’ Company, the great City guild that today is the premier City livery company and one of great beneficence and substance.

By the time Collyer made his will he also had amassed wealth and property, and, motivated by the spirit of the age, ‘Christian charity’ featured prominently in his will.

One of his many bequests was to build a school-house for sixty Horsham boys, and although the Mercers were to be the trustees of the funds, the Vicar and Churchwardens of Horsham were to be responsible for the school’s management, which included the selection of the scholars and the appointment of the headmaster and usher. Thus it was that the Church in Horsham became deeply involved in the birth of Collyer’s, and played a major part in its development through the following centuries. To this day, the Vicar (or Team Rector, as he is now) is an ex officio governor.

LIKE A COUPLE OF INTERTWINING VINES

Although by 1532 Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s row with the Pope was near to boiling over, the Catholic piety underlying Collyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will is unmistakable. He not only left money for the Horsham clergy to pray for his soul, but also, as a quid pro quo for being educated, desired that the children at the school should do the same. The vicissitudes of the school and its relations with the Church, the people of Horsham, and the Mercersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Company are chronicled by the late Austin Willson in his scholarly and entertaining work, A History of Collyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School 1532 to 1964, a treasure trove that has been shamelessly plundered to produce this article. (Somehow, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he would mind, as he was my own history master during my time at Collyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and is universally remembered with great affection.)

When the Grammar School was eventually built, as befits a school with close links with the Church, it lay almost within the shadow of St.Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, roughly on the site of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St.Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School. In spite of alteration and re-building, the School finally outgrew its premises in Denne Road, and new buildings were opened on its present Hurst Road site in the April of 1893.

The School adopted the insignia of the Mercersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Company, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Maidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, with the motto Honor Deo. This most ancient of symbols, probably dating back to early in the Fourteenth Century, was once thought to depict The Virgin, and it would have made a neat conclusion to highlight the connexion between St.Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, the Company and its Virgin, and Collyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. But alas and alack!

The Maiden probably started out as a trade sign to symbolize the Mercersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wares, honouring the ladies who made them, and the wealthier ones who would be wearing them. In spite of the now supposed secular origin of the Collyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s erstwhile â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Virginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the school has nevertheless done its bit to swell Please mention SOUTHWATER Life when responding to adverts

COUNCIL CORNER

HORSHAM APPRENTICESHIP FAIR

A

s part of National Apprenticeship Week (4 to 8 March) Horsham District Council, in conjunction with West Sussex County Council, is hosting the Horsham Apprenticeship Fair on Saturday 9 March from 10am to 2pm in the Drill Hall, Denne Road, Horsham.

National Apprenticeship Week is a celebration of all that is good about apprenticeships, with events across the country marking the significant role of apprentices in today’s working environment.

The Horsham Fair this year will see more than 40 apprentice employers and training providers, from a wide variety of sectors, present their opportunities.

The event is free and anyone is welcome to attend. It is a major career route for young people starting out on their careers, but also older, more experienced people are now starting to retrain using apprenticeship courses.

Commenting on the return of the event, Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for the Local Economy Cllr Gordon Lindsay said: “I think it is good news for all people considering an apprenticeship that the Apprenticeship Fair is making a return to Horsham after last year’s successful event.

“Apprenticeship training programmes let you gain real work experience (and earn money) while you learn and at the end you receive a recognised qualification “I believe this event goes a long way to ensuring apprenticeships are represented as a real and meaningful alternative to university entrance and are fast becoming a new route to a different career for experienced workers.”

26

MARCH 2019

Horsham District Council, a major local employer, now runs a successful apprenticeship programme with 12 apprentices working across a variety of departments.

This year’s Apprenticeship and Traineeship Fair follows on from last year’s very successful first event, when 34 exhibitors with more than 500 opportunities saw in excess of 1000 visitors attend the event.

Confirmed employers this year include Gatwick Airport, AJW Aviation, Apollo Motor Group, the British Army and RAF, HMRC Border Force, Kier Construction, Metricell, NatWest, Nestle, RSPCA, Sussex Police, Thales, NHS, Brighton and Chichester Universities and Virgin. There will be many more employers and training providers with hundreds of opportunities attending.

LEGAL ADVICE

PRESERVING FAMILY WEALTH

M

ost couples hope that their estate will pass to their children and grandchildren eventually. But this will not happen for many, unless careful arrangements have been made to protect their assets from being taken towards the end of their life to pay care home fees. The solution to help protect a couple’s estate is a will incorporating a trust. A testamentary trust can only be executed whilst both partners remain alive. Upon death of one partner, their will specifies that their share of the property is placed into trust and names the ultimate beneficiary of this share, normally the children and grandchildren. But under the terms of the trust the surviving partner has the unequivocal right to remain living in the property for the rest of their life. On the death of the other partner the trust

comes to an end and the property passes to the beneficiaries. As the surviving partner does not own the deceased's share of the property it is fully protected for the beneficiaries, so if the surviving partner requires care, or even remarries, this share of the beneficiary's inheritance is protected. If the surviving partner wants to move to another property they can still sell the property and the proceeds be used to purchase a new property; the terms of the trust remain over the new property.

Westminster Law assesses the circumstances of couples and arranges the trust that will provide the best protection for them, their family and their assets. Contact 01483 256625, email info@westminster-law.co.uk or visit www.westminster-law.co.uk

LOCAL AUTHOR REBECCA BRAZIER

THE TWO FACES OF CANCER The Two Faces of Cancer is motivating and uplifting in how adversity can be faced and overcome, inspiring readers to live their lives.

Rebecca Brazier.

C

ancer was an unwelcome arrival 30 weeks into Rebecca’s second pregnancy, she was just 38 years old.

Chemo began two weeks later and making the decision to have chemo while she was pregnant remains the most difficult choice she has ever had to make. A year’s worth of treatment followed with her daughter being born healthily mid chemo cycles. A recurrence of the same cancer was diagnosed just as she was going to be discharged 10 years later, she now has just 30% chance of surviving for another 10 years. A seemingly minor by comparison skin cancer was diagnosed early in 2016.

Cancer impacted and changed every part of Rebecca’s life and she promised herself she would help other cancer patients who face a similar experience. After several years

38

MARCH 2019

volunteering at cancer charities she formerly trained as a counsellor and has a practice near where she lives.

The Two Faces of Cancer explores Rebecca’s three personal experiences of cancer and then explains these using her professional skills and knowledge as a counsellor to raise awareness and understanding about the enormous and devastating impact cancer has.

Rebecca experienced cancer as a frightening and isolating time which created powerful and intense emotions of fear, sadness and anger which Rebecca didn’t understand or know how to manage and which remained long after the treatment ended. The emotional impact of cancer took Rebecca to the brink of a mental break down on more than one occasion. Through understanding what these emotions were about and why she experienced them over time Rebecca has made changes to her life and has learnt to live alongside cancer. The Two Faces of Cancer is motivating and uplifting in how adversity can be faced and overcome, inspiring readers to live their lives.

The profits of the book will be donated to Mummy’s Star (www.mummysstar.org) a charity which supports mums who have a diagnosis of cancer during or soon after pregnancy.

Rebecca lives near Horsham with her two teenage daughters, husband and assortment of animals. She enjoys reading, nature and has a post cancer passion for travelling.

Rebecca writes a weekly blog exploring the emotional impact of cancer which can be found at www.thetwofacesofcancer.com For more details contact Rebecca on info@thetwofacesofcancer.com

That’s how much you, as a West Sussex resident, could expect to pay for your care in a residential or nursing care home.

Choosing care for yourself, or supporting a family member to do so, is a lifechanging and important decision to take.

It’s vital that you seek trusted independent specialist financial advice.

Don’t leave it to chance that your finances will meet the cost of your care.

Ease the worry of paying for care The good news is that there is advice and support available to help you with this important financial decision. Carewise offers advice and guidance, so that you can choose the most cost-effective way of paying for your care.

Carewise has an approved panel of care fees specialists who are all qualified independent financial advisers.

They will inform you of the available options and discuss products and services from across the whole market.

Your first consultation with a care fees specialist is free, and they will explain the cost of any further advice.

As part of this scheme, you can also access a free money advice service from Age UK West Sussex.

Take control of your finances It is now even simpler to arrange your FREE consultation with a care fees specialist with our new ‘request a call back’ service. Visit www.carewiseadvice.com where you will find a list of all the care fees specialists, choose the adviser you would like to talk to, and request a call back from them. You will then be contacted within one working day.

Rose’s story by a Carewise care fees specialist I first met 83-year-old Rose in 2005. She was in good mental and physical health, but she had lost confidence about living on her own and wanted to move into a care home.

Once her house was sold, Rose had around £218,000 in available capital. Together, we

reviewed her income and expenditure, and worked out that she would have a shortfall of £16,410 per year in meeting the cost of her care home.

I obtained quotes for an immediate care plan for Rose and recommended she purchase a plan where the payout would

increase by five per cent per year. This would help to cover future increases in care fees at the home.

The income payments were paid to the care home, tax-free. Rose paid £85,925 for the plan.

By 2009, Rose’s care plan had paid for itself. In 2013, the plan had paid out £155,257, which is £69,332 more than she paid for it.

(This is a real case with the name of the customer changed.)

W

hatever the weather, Spring has always been the time when thoughts turn to our homes and gardens. The DIY and gardening stores are beckoning, and before we know it we’ve bought some new electric tool and daubed paint from tester pots on a wall. Does creating a more sustainable home mean we shouldn’t be doing this?

Not at all. Change is a part of human nature and our homes and gardens should be places that nurture and refresh us.

To be more sustainable, we just need to think those changes through - we’ll probably save ourselves money too.

Here are our tips for a more sustainable Spring: 1) Plan before you buy or begin. So many home projects end up unfinished, causing stress and wasting materials, through lack of planning. Ask yourself these questions: • Do you have the skills and TIME to complete the project?

• Do you have a realistic budget and timeframe?

• Are you sure what’s the best order for the work you’re planning to do?

(Many local tradespeople are happy to work on projects where a homeowner is doing some of the work themselves and can advise on a sensible order.)

2) Don’t skimp on the quality of materials and tools. Good quality tools can last many years. Good quality materials will often give a better finished result and last longer.

3) Cut the chemicals. Environmental standards were tightened in the paint industry, but there are still some paints that are more eco friendly than others. Go for water based paints and varnishes wherever possible, and those which are low (or even zero) in VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

As well as reducing the potentially harmful chemicals you and your family are breathing in, water based paints are much easier to clean up after use.

4) Re-use, repair, re-purpose. Some of the satisfying buzz that comes from a well executed DIY project is even better when you know you’ve saved something from ending up at the tip! Our grandparents and great grandparents wouldn’t have dreamt of just disposing of something that was a little broken. If you don’t think you have the skills, Horsham now has a monthly Horsham Repair Cafe, where volunteer repairers will help with repairs.

Recycling is fine, but it still takes energy and public funds to do. Re-use and re-purposing (finding a new use for something) is better. If you don’t need it, local Facebook groups are a great place for asking “can anyone make use of?”

Finally, spring is of course prime time in the garden. If you’ve never grown your own vegetables, why not give it a go this year?

You’d be amazed what even a few pots can hold.

t is tick season again!

Ticks are blood sucking parasites. Adult ticks have eight legs and wait in vegetation for a passing animal to jump onto, they are often found in areas where sheep and deer graze. They bite and as they feed over several days their bodies enlarge and become grey in colour, and then they drop off. Some animals react to the tick bite resulting in an area of localised swelling and inflammation which may become infected and require treatment. Ticks can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis. Lyme disease can affect both dogs and humans in the UK. Dogs may show signs such as loss of appetite, lethargy, painful joints and swollen lymph nodes. Babesiosis is rare in the UK; the parasite invades the dog’s red blood cells causing anaemia.

Ehrlichiosis is not currently present in the UK but is a risk in travelling pets as is Babesiosis. Cats can be infected with Mycoplasma as a result of a tick bite and this parasite can cause anaemia. If you find a tick on your pet it should be removed with a special two pronged tick hook (not tweezers) which you slide under the tick and then gently twist ensuring the body is removed with the head and mouthparts attached. As with most parasites prevention is best and various products are available from your vet to repel or kill ticks including medicated collars, spot-ons and tablets.
