HMRC cuts company car mileage fuel rates...

FALLING pump prices have seen HMRC cut company car mileage fuel rates across three of the six petrol and diesel categories.

The company car mileage fuel rates, known as advisory fuel rates (AFR), have been cut by 1p for diesel cars with engines larger than 2,000cc and for petrol vehicles with engines over 2,000cc and those with motors of 1,400cc and smaller effective from 1 December. All other categories remain unchanged.

Growth in average pay for UK workers overtook inflation for the first time in five years, according to data from the Office for National Statistics.

Wages excluding bonuses rose by 1.3% in the year to September, beating the 1.2% Consumer Prices Index inflation rate.

Including bonuses, earnings rose by 1% from a year earlier, the ONS said.

The ONS also said that UK unemployment in the July-to-September period was down 115,000 on the previous quarter, cutting the total to 1.96 million.

Pay has lagged inflation since the global financial crisis, but in recent months earnings have been rising just as the pace of price growth slows.

The government said it showed that the recovery was feeding through to household budgets, but unions said it would be years before earnings returned to pre-crisis levels.

IHS Global Insight's chief UK economist, Howard Archer, said the news on pay would be a relief for consumers.

But he added: "This is still really more to do with low inflation than markedly improving earnings. However, earnings growth did take a much-needed decent step in the right direction in September."

Your research & development activity may help to reduce your business tax bill.

Do you know that there are a range of tax reliefs/allowances that you may be able to claim that could help save your company money?

If you are thinking of undertaking some new research or developing something new there may be a tax relief or allowance that you are entitled to.

For instance, R&D relief will help with the cost of wages of your people employed on research & development activity.
