Finance Dividend Taxation And Other Changes To Tax Laws in 2016/17 By Ann Haldon > 32.5% (for the higher rate band) > 38.1% (in the additional rate band) People with a low dividend income will see a reduction in their tax bill, but the new measures are likely to hit family-run small businesses the hardest.

A change to the dividend taxation laws is to be implemented from April 2016.

Pension and ISA dividends will not be affected by the new regime and will remain free of tax, but the new dividend rules are likely to have an adverse effect on directors and shareholders of small incorporated companies.

The new proposals will reportedly bring in an extra ÂŁ2.54 billion in revenue for the WD[ \HDU ĂąZLWK VPDOOHU amounts continuing to bolster the public purse in future years.

The changes are an effort by the government to equalise tax laws for those who run unincorporated businesses.

So why has the Treasury decided to overhaul the current system?

The government is attempting to discourage tax-motivated incorporation, which means setting up a business as a limited company simply to enjoy a lower rate of tax on income.

In the past, directors/ shareholders of a limited company have been able to take a small salary from their business, which attracted enough tax to maintain their entitlement to the state pension.

The government’s objection, however, is that company SURÀWV DUH WKHQ XVHG WR H[WUDFW a further dividend taxed at the much lower rate of 10%.

Here’s a summary of the changes to be introduced • A maximum annual Dividend Allowance of £5,000 is to come into force (after taking the personal allowance into account) • The existing 10% notional Dividend Tax Credit will be scrapped • Dividends over the £5,000 annual limit will be taxed at the following rates: > 7.5% on dividend income in the basic rate band

Strong objections from the business community :LWK WKH LQKHUHQW GLIÀFXOWLHV facing small businesses, fears have been expressed that the government is making it much harder for people in business to VXUYLYH ÀQDQFLDOO\ 7KLV LQFOXGHV both individual contractors who have incorporated their businesses, and family-run companies.

In fact, an online petition has been started, objecting to these new rules. Company directors/ shareholders say that the

rewards of low dividend taxation compensated for the long hours and risks they took when starting their business, and that their overall contribution to the economy needs to be more widely acknowledged by the government.

Are there any other changes to UK taxation in the IRUWKFRPLQJ Ă€QDQFLDO \HDU" Other announcements made in last year’s Budget include: • Pension tax relief changes - Restrictions on pension tax relief for those with an income of ÂŁ150,000 or more will come into force from April 2016. A Ă€[HG UDWH RI ZLOO DSSO\ for all in the new tax year, regardless of the rate band. • Savings interest - Said to be an acknowledgement of recent poor returns for savers, George Osborne also announced in last year’s budget that savings interest of up to ÂŁ1,000 will no longer be taxed. • Digital tax accounts - The ‘account’ will be similar to online banking in that details on how much is owed will be available to view at any time, and taxpayers will be able to make payments throughout WKH Ă€QDQFLDO \HDU UDWKHU WKDQ PHHWLQJ D VSHFLĂ€F GHDGOLQH 7KHVH DUH DOO VLJQLĂ€FDQW changes to taxation laws in the UK, and are set to bring in considerable sums for the Treasury, but the new dividend tax rules seem to be attracting the most concern and criticism.

Newarks Star - please welcome Jay McGuiness C

by Colin Stroman Everyone always asks 2015 Strictly winner Jay McGuiness the same question. Why didn’t he and Aliona Vilani reprise their sensational jive for their show dance in the final?

‘The answer,’ says Jay, ‘is that we were worried we might not be able to recreate the magic. But we have been doing it on tour.

Our other dance is the rumba.

‘I’m looking forward to dancing in front of a large audience which I’m used to, of course, from being a member of The Wanted.

Funnily enough, dancing on TV with a studio audience of just 400 is far more intimidating.’

He’s really excited about the tour. ‘I didn’t want Christmas to come and never dance with Aliona again. So the tour was the natural way of extending the experience. Even so, when we’d finished our last

dance on TV, I felt quite emotional.

Looking back, the reason I didn’t break down was because I knew the tour was starting in January.’

Before this last series, Aliona had made up her mind that it would be her last – for a number of personal reasons.

Might that include starting a family? ‘We’ll see. But there were also professional considerations. I’ve won it twice now [the first time with Harry Judd] and it’s good as a dancer and choreographer to go out on a high. As it turned out, it was the best ending to my Strictly dance career.’

Will Jay and Aliona stay in touch? ‘Oh yes,’ they chorus.

‘We’re friends for life.’

Bio info Jay (James) was born in Newark, 1 of 5 children, (incl his twin brother Tom), and loved to sing and dance in front of the mirror at home. He attended Holy Trinity in Newark and then All saints in Mansfield. Charlotte Hamilton’s School of Dance, was his creative outlet, and then the prestigious Midlands Academy of Dance & Drama in Nottingham. Tormented and bullied by other children about his interest in performing arts and ballet, Jay graduated at just 13 and went on to audition at age 19 for The Wanted. He is an avid animal lover, owns a lizard and was named PETA's Sexiest Male Vegetarian in 2011.

The rest, as they say, is history!

Hobbies Enjoy Hands-On History With The Detectorists

By Kate McLelland Last year the BBC TV series “Detectoristsâ€? (starring MacKenzie Crook and Toby Jones) not only won a BAFTA, but attracted thousands of fans. The series seems to have sparked a fresh interest in metal detecting, despite the fact that LWV PDLQ FKDUDFWHUV VHOGRP Ă€QG anything more valuable than the odd bottle top or metal button.

Some detectorists, however, seem to have the magic touch.

If your appetite has been whetted by the many similar stories that have appeared in the media in recent years, here’s some advice to help you get started as a detectorist: WHAT YOU NEED How much time will you spend on your new hobby? If it’s just the odd weekend you may not want to invest too much in your detector. A starter model can be purchased from around £140 but a top of the range detector can cost upwards of £1,000.

As well as a detector, your basic kit should include good quality digging tools such as a strong trowel or spade, waterproof clothing, VWXUG\ ERRWV RU :HOOLQJWRQV gloves, a water bottle, First Aid equipment, a notepad and pencil, insect repellent and a Finds Bag, to protect those freshly-dug artefacts.

For your own safety, be sure to tell somebody where you are going on every outing and take along a fully charged mobile phone.

Newark really does have so many successful retailers, with interesting stories to tell and Twos Company is at the top of the list.

Beauty Gifts for Mother’s Day

Treat mum this Mother’s Day, with a luxurious beauty gift that she’d probably never dream of buying for herself.

Newark’s author Sylvia Pink– her new book is out now!

Sylvia Pink wrote her first book at twelve, then acted it out to an audience. The story required falling out of a tree but she survived unhurt. She has enjoyed three separate careers and is happy being a member and volunteer for local charities, which have included The Rotary Club and The National Trust.

Sylvia has been married to her lovely husband Tony for many years. She has a talented son who now has his own family and a stepdaughter who also has a family. Sylvia is a history ‘geek', loves gardening and walking her enormous and much loved Labrador dog.

Her new book is called

“Carolyne Mayville, Secretly Psychic, Detective” and I found it a very enjoyable read! Perfect for slipping in those holiday suitcases!

Caroline Mayville, a sixty year old retired schoolteacher, lives a very traditional village life. She tends her garden, walks her dog and volunteers at the local fete.

But all of that is about to change.

After an encounter with the village's only eligible widower (or seemingly the only available man in the village under 95...) leads her to buy a cottage to renovate, Caroline finds a little more than woodworm at her new residence. She finds Alexis, a spirit who is asking for answers to a 70 year old mystery. What happened to her husband, a Squadron Leader

during WWII? Was it desertion as was reported ... or was it something more sinister ... like murder?

Amateur sleuths Caroline and granddaughter Emma combine forces to search for the missing airmen - even scouring an old airfield that holds a surprising number of secrets and following a ghost dog.

But will they, in the end, find an unlikely outcome which will change Caro's life for ever?

Sylvia Pink has created a wonderful new heroine in Caroline Mayville, Secretly Psychic, Detective. You'll eagerly be awaiting the next book in the series - even before you finish this one!

Vertical Cover With Climbers

by Pippa Greenwood Take a look at the boundaries of your garden; are they rather uninteresting, drab or perhaps even downright boring? It is time to start thinking about doing some vertical gardening - don’t just concentrate on beds, borders and beautiful containers, but think about all those upright surfaces just itching to be clothed in glorious climbers or wall shrubs. If you have several vertical surfaces then so much the better.

A visit to your local garden centre will reveal a plentiful supply of suitable plants.

Start by taking a look at the surface you have to offer, get a rough idea of the size of the area to be covered, the direction it faces and the amount of sun or shade the plants growing on the wall or fence are likely to receive.

Check your soil type too – discover whether it is sandy and free-draining, sticky and full of clay or somewhere in between - as the plant you choose must be suited to the site.

Some climbers are quite quick growing and will look good later this year, and then go from strength to strength as the years pass.

42

Many provide strong colour and others will be a useful backdrop for the garden as a whole. Don’t forget that most buildings can have climbers grown against them, so if you have an unsightly shed, garage or even a fairly uninteresting looking back to your house, then consider erecting some sort of support system on which you can grow your climbers.

If you have a long stretch of wall you can break up its monotony by planting up with several different plants.

If you grow a wide range of plants and only allow them to reach the height of WKH ÀUVW à RRU LW ZLOO PDNH D tall, narrow building seem somewhat broader. A climbing hydrangea, Hydrangea petiolaris, or self-clinging plants such as ivies are ideal for this situation, but make sure the mortar on your wall is in good shape before planting.

Climbers are best planted in open ground, as they tend to have sizeable root systems.

However, you can grow them in containers if you get really stuck, but make sure that you re-pot regularly and that you have enough space to

ultimately use a really good sized container such as a half barrel. You will need to use a loam-based potting compost and add extra grit to ensure that the compost continues to drain freely. It is also essential to place a really deep layer of crocks at the base of the container so that the drainage holes are loosely covered and will not become clogged by the compost. I always add some controlled release fertilizer granules to the compost, as this will help to ensure that plants get adequately fed at OHDVW IRU WKH ÀUVW IHZ PRQWKV If you plant the container up using a triangular or Vshaped trellis panel inserted at the back surface, this will give the plant an initial support and it can then climb up this before moving on to your wall or fence. You will, of course, need to tie the top section of the trellis into the wall or fence, so that it does not rock about.

Once you have decided where to plant the climber, dig a really good sized planting hole, making sure that it is at least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the wall or fence.

This may sound like a long

way, but it ensures that the plant receives adequate moisture and does not suffer any adverse effects from the proximity of the nearby wall.

Incorporate plenty of planting compost, well rotted manure or garden compost, and then once you have soaked the root ball of the plant you can place it in the hole. Ideally you should position it at a 45 degree angle, so that it is already leaning towards the wall. Once you have checked that the levels are right you can spread the root system out and plant in the normal way. If your climber is already attached to some sort of support system, such as bamboo canes, it helps if you gently untie the stems from any central stake and then choose the best looking shoots

and train these towards your new support system.

You can use the existing bamboo canes to help it on its way. It is essential to keep climbers really well watered, particularly if they are on or near a sunny wall.

Any good garden centre will have a range of plants available, but here are some suggestions for some of those tricky sites: Vigorous climbers for a quick effect: Actinidia chinensis Akebia quinata Clematis montana Clematis montana ‘Rubens’ Vitis coignetiae Climbers for clay soils: Campsis Celastrus scandens Clematis Ivies

Golden hop Climbing hydrangea Honeysuckles (most) Vitis coignetiae Climbers for an alkaline or chalky soil: Actinidia kolomikta Akebia quinata Clematis Ivies Climbing hydrangea -DVPLQXP RIÀFLQDOH Honeysuckles Trachelospermum jasminoides Wisteria Visit Pippa’s website www. pippagreenwood.com for ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ - fantastic UK grown vegetable plants of your choice plus weekly advice and tips emails from Pippa, Nemaslug, biological controls, pop-up crop covers, signed books and lots more besides.

and was promptly bashed on the big toe by the Hoover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Darling - Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in a meeting!â&#x20AC;? I hissed. The Henry fell silent.

my umpteenth electronic missive of the day when I heard a scratching at the door. It was Ollie, demanding to know what I was doing at home this time of the morning. To stop the whining I relented and in two bounds he was over the desk and onto the window sill, where he settled down for a mid morning snooze. So, with my best friend asleep next to me, I beavered away at my spreadsheets. The new phone buzzed once more and, as Ollie raised an inquisitive eyebrow, I took my second conference call of the day. I was just about to set out in no uncertain terms why Basingstoke couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape restructuring when next doorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cat decided to run across the porch roof.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well this house wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clean itself - darling.

Monday morning 7am. I Anyway thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me done, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m leapt into my work trousers going out.â&#x20AC;? and after slurping my coffee So while Marty droned was on the drive, keys in on about performance hand before I realised. Of indicators, I looked down course, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do IURP WKH EHGURRP EUDQFK

this anymore! So, sitting at window as Sarah, Bags â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, Tom what you are my new desk an hour early, for Life in hand, set off for saying isâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? , WRRN WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW FRQIHUHQFH Tesco and the dreaded Big call of the morning: a very â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grrrrrrrâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

Shop. At last some peace! important discussion about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, sorry Tom, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you Or so I thought. I was in our national marketing like Martyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea?â&#x20AC;? the middle of composing strategy.

“Woof! Bark! Woof!”

“Tom, is that a dog I can hear?”

I heaved Ollie out onto the landing, nearly strangling myself with my headset in the process.

I coughed. “Sorry guys.

New ring tone.”

After ending the call I spotted Sarah returning from the Big Shop. “I thought you were ‘at work’?”

“I can’t just sit up there watching you struggling.

Here, let me.”

“Look I’m perfectly capable of putting away the shopping - no Tom, the bleach doesn’t live in there!

Just go back upstairs and leave me to it.”

As Sarah unpacked everything my stomach reminded me that lunch time was almost upon us.

So, nestled on the sofa next to Sarah with my bag of Quavers and my ham bloomer, something told me that turning the TV channel over to check on England’s progress at Trent Bridge was not a good idea. I decided instead to join in with the catch up.

“And who’s she?”

“That’s the mother, she lives in the garage, and that’s the daughter and she’s pregnant to the drug dealer.”

“And which one’s he?”

“The one under the bed.”

“Is he hiding?”

“No, he’s dead.”

“Hasn’t anyone noticed?”

“He’s encased in concrete.”

“I see...”

Finally it was time to return to work. But I shouldn’t have had that second Eccles cake because DURXQG WKUHH IRUW\ ÀYH ERWK 2OO\ DQG , EHJDQ WR ÁDJ The phone rang, the computer bleeped, my mobile buzzed. Eventually the racket drew Sarah to see what was happening inside Tom Hughes Towers.

“Hello, Tom’s phone? I’m sorry, he can’t come to the phone right now he’s…in a meeting with Oliver. Of course you can’t hear snoring, that’s…his new ring tone.”

Motoring Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mans Work, That Is

By Iain Betson

Iain Betson dreams that many TLAs make light work.

Men! Ever washed your car? Vacuumed the inside?

Waxed the paintwork or shampooed the upholstery?

Of course you have, ever since the dawn of the motorcar, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Sundays have been for.

Now the same question to the ladies? I bet the answer is mostly in the negative.

have moved around a fair bit, at the last count about 8 moves in 10 years; the tax man isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chasing us or anything, but I do sometimes think we would be better off in a motorhome. Anyhow, as a result my wife and I have made a fair number of house viewings.

a chair in front of the telly, never cleaning the house and quite happy about it too? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure single woman just wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an ordered house and home is a must.

Yet this is in stark contrast to the state of the cars the sexes drive. My wife will gladly drive around Sometimes I would leave a in a motor, the interior of property saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the which has more pebbles in one for usâ&#x20AC;? only to evoke a the footwell than Brighton response of â&#x20AC;&#x153;No way, did beach and wheels so soot you see the colour of the blackened that they rival the I was contemplating this bathroomâ&#x20AC;?. cast of Oliver.

So why through the local auto-wash mean, in time, bathrooms this clean car, clean house but on occasion, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not can be replaced, so why role reversal?

course, I suddenly develop a liking for chintz curtains and opera then, maybe, I will.

Which brings me, via a hyper-jump, on to car press releases. The other day I had a test of the new VW Golf GTi and the accompanying press information contained well over ten TLAs (for the bewildered that’s Three Letter Abbreviations) for the features and functions this car boasts. HBA, ABS, ESP, TCS… I could go on.

Anyway, most of the TLAs referred to the way these systems affected the going, the handling and the stopping. All well and good:

a better responding car leads to a more enjoyable and safer ride, all good points well made. But, you know, I doubt whether the vast majority of drivers know or care about these features, or even realise that their car has them.

They simply want to own and run a car that will get them safely from A to B with very little fuss or effort, and that’s about it.

Now the way I look at it is this. If the manufacturers want to sell bucket loads of cars, here is one TLA feature

I think they should pour millions into developing and LPPHGLDWHO\ ÀW WR WKHLU HQWLUH range. A sort of “killer app” as the phone industry would call it. A TLA that would be so close to all of our hearts , WKLQN WKH ÀUVW PDQXIDFWXUHU to provide it would clean up for good, forever, end of.

In fact, as I thought of it, I may patent it myself.

My TLA car feature would be called SCC - Self Cleaning Car… I’ll leave you dreaming, I’m off to the Patent 2IÀFH

Gotta Get A Witness Iain Betson conducts enquires into a useful new website Come-on, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fess up. I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened to you because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened to me.

How many times have you seen, or been the victim of, down-right dangerous driving by another and wished that a policemen had also seen what you had experienced and nabbed the perpetrator?

Well now your wish can come true. It takes a little forethought and effort on your part, but if it helps to get numpty drivers and, frankly, those who seem to have little regard for human life when driving off the road and given their just desserts, then I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time and money well spent.

The use of the dash-board mounted camera is comparatively recent in the UK, although it is rising. This is in contrast to Russia, where, judging from the hours of Youtube dash-cam uploads, its use seems universal.

Your own insurance protection Fitting one to your car is quite simple

and reasonably inexpensive to do, certainly when you consider that the material it captures could save you a fortune in insurance.

But what do you do with that footage if you do record bad, dangerous or illegal driving?

You could contact the police directly and show them the evidence, but your camera may not have recorded enough material for charges to be brought.

Alternatively, you could consider submitting it to the PoliceWitness.com website. The aim of the site is to highlight dangerous driving and that those responsible are now having their actions recorded. They also act as a conduit to the police and insurance companies when claims or charges are brought.

You may not have been the only one recording an incident, so the site can act as a collection point for other footage of the same incident, thereby increasing the chances of a prosecution.

An additional incentive for getting a dash-cam is that, to help insurance companies prove liability, they may also pay for your footage, meaning it could pay for itself.
