Making Tax Digital (MTD) comes into effect from April 2019, affecting hundreds of rural businesses. Most VAT registered businesses will need to file their VAT returns through digital software that is MTD compliant, such as Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and Farmplan, Landmark, Sum-It. This is compulsory for businesses with turnover over £85,000 (check with your accountant if you are unsure whether this applies to you). The Making Tax Digital rules will apply from your first full VAT period starting on or after 1st April 2019. But if you haven’t switched over to submit MTD VAT returns yet, what steps do you need to take? 1. Sign up for HMRC's MTD for VAT • First you must sign up for MTD for VAT through GOV.UK’s website. (You will need to do this even if you have previously submitted a VAT return via compliant software before 1st April) • HMRC has a video about signing up for MTD, which shows the steps involved and the information you’ll need to have when you sign up. • You will receive an email within 72 hours to confirm the sign up is complete. 2. Connect your software to HMRC • Before you can send VAT returns, you’ll need to authorise your software. This process is initiated from the software and will look slightly different in each product. • You will need to check with the software provider to ensure the product has been upgraded to be MTD VAT compatible and confirm you are using the correct version. • Then within the software you will be required to enter your Government Gateway details and follow any steps when prompted. • Going forward the software will require re-authorisation periodically, as least every 18 months and you may need to repeat this process. NB. You can check if your chosen software is compliant with MTD for VAT here National Minimum Wage & National Living Wage rates increase on 1st April The rates below apply from 1st April 2019 Category of worker Hourly rate Aged 25 and above (national living wage rate) £8.21 Aged 21 to 24 inclusive £7.70 Aged 18 to 20 inclusive £6.15 Aged under 18 (but above compulsory school leaving age £4.35 Apprentices aged under 19 £3.90 Apprentices aged 19 and over, but in the first year of their apprenticeship £3.90 Auto Enrolment - Minimum pension contributions will increase on 6th April 2019 If you are an employer, and you have staff in an Automatic Enrolment Pension Scheme, you will need to ensure that your pension contributions are raised to the rates below.

  • The Ownership of Goods and Cultures of Consumption in Ludlow, Hereford and Tewkesbury, 1660-1760
    THE OWNERSHIP OF GOODS AND CULTURES OF CONSUMPTION IN LUDLOW, HEREFORD AND TEWKESBURY, 1660-1760 KAREN BANKS B. A. MPhil A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Wolverhampton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2014 This work or any part thereof has not been previously presented in any form to the University or to any other body whether for the purposes of assessment, publication or for any other purpose (unless otherwise indicated).

At this date copyright is owned by the author. Signature…Karen Banks………………………………… Date……4th April 2014…………………………………… Abstract This thesis examines how the lifestyles of the middling sorts evolved during the period 1660 and 1760 as reflected in their relationship to material goods in three contrasting, but geographically near towns. The towns are similar to the degree that their history and circumstances led to them being viewed as backwaters, and this may have influenced consumption practices. Ludlow had lost its importance as the Capital of Wales; it stagnated until its fortunes began to be revived by achieving leisure town status. Hereford was a cathedral city and a county town, but was mainly poorly built and congested. It was locally, rather than nationally important.

  • Seymour of Hatch, Somerset, & De La Mare of Little Hereford
    SEYMOUR AND DE LA MARE -217- THE SEYMOUR FAMILY OF HATCH, SOMERSET, AND DE LA MARE FAMILY OF LITTLE HEREFORD by Paul C Reed 1 ABSTRACT This article begins the documentation of the Seymour family — ancestors of Henry VIII’s third wife — after they left Monmouthshire and settled in England. They gradually rose from relative obscurity through a series of advantageous matches to heiresses to become one of the leading families in Wiltshire (even so, it was only through the favour of Henry and his son Edward VI that they finally attained the peerage in the person of the queen’s brother, Edward Seymour, Viscount Beauchamp, Earl of Hertford, Baron Seymour and finally Duke of Somerset). Included with this article is a separate account that begins to chart out the maternal ancestry traced through the de la Mare family of Little Hereford. Foundations (2010) 3 (3): 217-266 © Copyright FMG and the author The Foundation of the Seymour Family at Hatch, Somerset Roger de Seymour, of Undy, co. Monmouth, in the Marches of Wales, was a man of relatively modest means at the time he married Cecily de Beauchamp, the young widow of Sir Gilbert de Turberville, a prominent Welsh knight. Roger’s ancestors were knights, but lived in a fairly precarious region subject to raids by the native Welsh and frequent summons to military service to maintain the peace. It was then a region ruled by local custom in spite of a concerted effort to extend the king’s law.2 Cecily de Beauchamp’s father John, 2nd Lord Beauchamp of Somerset, was already dead when her first husband died so arrangements for her second marriage would have been in the hands of the king.
