We will work with you to get the best from your business. 01608 651802 [email protected] In previous articles I have mentioned that HMRC have been taking on extra staff to monitor the activities of those who are seeking to evade or avoid paying tax. Well, the HMRC machine has not only swung into action it has already caught numerous individuals and companies & have fined them for non-payment. This year those seeking to evade or avoid tax will find their job even more difficult as the new HMRC super computer has added a new dimension to obtaining information and could be looking at your income & expenditure right now. The computer is currently sifting through credit card records with a view to tying these in to existing records so that HMRC can see whether you’re declaring all your income. Sounds like Big Brother – it is but it’s just another element in compiling information about those who persistently evade tax. One area where there seems to be a concentration of effort relates to rental income from holiday or second homes so beware if you fall into this category. I must admit that I have always been dubious about the efforts of HMRC to reign in tax evasion or avoidance simply because past experience shows that as soon as they plug one hole another one appears . I believe their efforts would be better spent on building a tax system that is fair to all & the starting premise should be that everyone needs to contribute in one way or another. It is unfair that there are thousands & thousands of non-taxpayers, generally the richer ones in society, who do not contribute to UK plc. I appreciate that many of these individuals run companies that not only employ people, therefore paying tax through PAYE & employer contributions, but also Please pay corporation tax on company profits. However, perhaps we need to move to a more transparent system where individuals & businesses want to tell our contribute rather than trying to avoid paying tax. In the past I have advocated moving to a flat-rate scheme for all tax as this would reduce the burden of advertisers taxation and bureaucracy. Perhaps, with the economic recovery underway, now is the time to start looking at options for the future. if you saw The months are ticking by and a number of tax deadlines are looming. If you their have been asked to submit a Tax Return and you wish to file this on paper then you need to do this by the end of the month. The online filing deadline is 31st advert January 2013. If you haven’t received a notice to submit a Tax Return but you have additional income to declare, to year ending 5th April 2012, then you here! should either request a paper Return to file immediately or submit the information online by the date requested.
If in doubt about filing any of your Returns, or if you simply want help in organising your paperwork, then give me a ring. I will be more than happy to help.

Ginie and Patrick Moss were concerned about road safety along Station Road in Bourton, with the Insight Gloucestershire is a charity dedicated to danger point outside The Cotswold School. They raised a local petition for a pedestrian crossing in supporting sight impaired and blind people February 2012, presenting 1,200 signatures to GCC - and last month they opened the crossing. throughout the County.

It is Hodgkinson said: “The road is used by more than 1,000 pupils on school days, as well as older people important people don’t feel embarrassed to come to living nearby.

23 24 25 26 27 Photo Competition
Inside the August editions of Stow Times, Moreton Times, Bourton Times and Chipping Norton Times were a set of numbered photographs, take recently in 54 of the communities where we deliver the magazines each month. But these were not average picture postcard images, and weren’t always that easy to identify (even on Google!)
Below are the Answers and a list of the Winners. We hope to be in contact with all of them with a list of prizes.
Well done to all the Entrants, and a huge Thank You to the local businesses, groups and associations who supported the competition with prizes - we really appreciate it. We will list them all in next month’s edition.

WE RECEIVED WINNING ENTRIES FROM: The two communities that were most frequently mistaken were Wyck Mrs and Miss CONNER (54 out of 54) Rissington and Salford (answers 9 and 45). Helen and Mary SMITH (54/54) On the whole however, most people know the area pretty well and are Alan BUSH and Jane FURZE (54/54) observant too. I know that Google is a great help to desktop puzzlers Jane FORD and David HARMAN (54/54) (we saw Googles van going around as we were out taking the photos Mavis and Colin LAMB (54/54) this year!) but I am convinced that this Competition is one of the best excuses for getting out into our wonderful Cotswolds countryside. Runners Up: Alison SHAW, Jenna PENDLE and Rob WELLS (53/54) If you did, thank you for taking part and we hope you enjoyed the Michelle and Sophie McCALLUM (52/54) challenge. We will repeat the Competition in August next year – so keep your eyes open as you travel around! 28 A B C D 29 30 This page is being updated.

District Youth Football League have made promising starts considering U13s vs Stratton (1-3) each team has a lot of new players. The team started well, taking the U9 game to Stratton, but the first half The team still has vacancies – if you have a player (boy or girl) in Year was mostly evenly matched. 3 who is desperate to play, please contact the Secretary. Although Bourton had many near U10 misses it was Stratton who took Some of our U10 players sporting their the first goal. After half time new kit, kindly sponsored by Bourton Rovers equalised but U13s defending a corner against Stratton Pulhams Coaches. In the first match Stratton gained in strength. It was against Grendon Rangers Lions we saw unfortunate that some of our defence sustained injuries at this crucial superb goalkeeping by K Jones and time. Keeper M Hunt kept Bourton’s hopes alive but Stratton scored determined play by D Mills and J Kelly. In two more. Bourton fought on and in the last ten minutes it looked like the second match against Grendon we might pull one back when Keeper M Hunt kicked to M Beard on Rangers, once again it was the goalkeeper the left who sprinted down passing to the eager D Hardiman & B (B Collins) who kept Bourton Rovers in the game. A hard fought game Burdock, but again we narrowly missed the goal. with both teams showing determined play. Final score 3-1 to Stratton.
Defibrillator The adult team, supported by the youth team, have held several fund raising activities over recent weeks to raise the money needed to purchase a defibrillator. The total currently stands at approximately £2,000 so hopefully we should see it at the club house soon.
