Taskforce focuses on security industry
The next wave of HMRC taskforces has been launched to focus on the private security industry in London and the south-east to counter fraudulent VAT repayment claims; the construction industry in London; hidden wealth in the Midlands, including people with offshore accounts and those with lifestyles beyond their obvious means through assets from undeclared income; and the hidden economy in the second-hand motor trade in the Midlands.

Charities online
From 1 October charities must make gift aid repayment claims using HMRC’s charities online service. The department has sent 126,000 letters to charities and community amateur sports clubs who have made a gift aid claim in the past three years, reminding them that they will not be able to use the old R68i claim form after that date.
ATED
HMRC have published a notice about the requirement to make an annual tax on enveloped dwellings (ATED) return and how to fill it in. The deadline for submitting the 2013/14 ATED return is 1 October.
SDLT returns
HMRC’s guide for completing paper stamp duty land tax (SDLT) 1 returns has been updated to include the new pre-completion transaction relief code 34 and relief from 15% rate of SDLT code 35.
P35 penalties
HMRC are issuing penalties to employers for whom they have no record of receiving the 2012/13 P35 and P14s. Penalties are also being sent to employers that were in the real time information pilot that have not filed their relevant submission. The deadline for a final full payment submission was 19 April; the earlier year update or final employer payments summary should have been filed by 19 May.
