Staff changes
I'm sure many of you will wish to join us in wishing Margaret Forsyth all the best in her very well deserved and very early retirement (she made me write that!). Margaret has been with us since 1988, originally working as an accounts assistant but in recent years concentrating her entire efforts on running the payroll department. She will be leaving at the end of December (after the Christmas lunch!).
Our new payroll supervisor, Jennifer Johnstone (Jen), started with us in September to try to make the transition as seamless as possible.
Postal disruption
The postal strikes are undoubtedly starting to interfere with the smooth running of our business and that of many of our clients. Hopefully matters will be resolved in the near future but in the meantime we will try and maximise the amount of business we can do by phone or email. We are trying to collect as many client email addresses as possible and would like to assure you that there is no possibility of these being used for any purpose other than correspondence between us and you.
Capital Gains Tax
Those of you who have read our newsletter page will be aware that sweeping changes to CGT have been proposed in the autumn pre-budget report. We will be trying to identify all our clients who may be affected by these changes and taking any necessary steps to protect their positions. However, we are not always aware of all your tax issues, especially in the middle of a tax year, so please get in touch if you think that you have a potential capital gain which may need attention.
