  • What is an associated company and how can this affect business taxation? This episode of The Tax Track looks at how to spot an associated company and apply the rules, particularly in relation to corporation tax.

    ‘Associated’ has a broad definition in tax terms, which can give rise to surprising results when it comes to family relationships and other businesses. As well as talking about how this affects the rate of corporation tax, and when corporation tax is payable, we also look at the impacts for other areas of business tax, including national insurance contributions, annual investment allowance and VAT disaggregation.

    Lindsey Wicks, Senior Technical Manager for Tax Policy at ICAEW, discusses the issues with Stephen Relf, Technical Manager, Tax, and Angela Clegg, Technical Manager, Business Tax.

  • Why would a food producer argue that its product is not ready for human consumption? And why does the tax year start on 6 April? Find out the answers in the latest episode of The Tax Track podcast from ICAEW.

    As the start of the new tax year approaches, we look at what’s changing – and what’s not – in personal and business taxation in the coming year. We also journey back in time to find out why the tax year starts when it does.

    When it comes to VAT rates, it seems some companies will put forward the most spurious of arguments to have a product zero rated. We take a look at recent case involving Walkers Sensations Poppadoms and whether or not they were more like a crisp than their namesake.

    This month’s experts are Lindsey Wicks, Senior Technical Manager for Tax Policy at ICAEW; Stephen Relf, Technical Manager, Tax; and Ed Saltmarsh, Technical Manager, VAT and Customs.

  • The Tax Track is the new podcast series from ICAEW where we explore the latest from the tax world, and what it means for tax professionals, accountants, taxpayers and businesses.

    In this episode, we take a look at the wider implications of an unusual capital allowance case regarding camping pods that went to tribunal. You often hear the phrase, “it’s what’s on the inside that counts”. That certainly proved to be true in this case. We also discuss the changes that are being introduced to the cash basis this April and the potential implications for businesses of all sizes.


    This month’s panellists are ICAEW’s Lindsey Wicks, Senior Technical Manager, Tax Policy; Stephen Relf, Technical Manager, Tax; and Richard Jones, Senior Technical Manager, Tax Policy.

  • The Tax Track is the new podcast series from ICAEW where we explore the latest from the tax world and what it means for tax professionals, accountants, taxpayers and businesses. In this first episode, we look ahead to what’s coming down the line in 2024.

    Lindsey Wicks, ICAEW’s Senior Technical Manager for Tax Policy, talks about the forthcoming UK general election – a case of when, not if – and its potential impacts in terms of policies, timings, and the number of fiscal events throughout the year.

    Caroline Miskin, Senior Technical Manager for Digital Taxation, talks about the thorny issue of HMRC service standards – what are the pressures on HMRC’s services and how can they be alleviated?

    Finally, Frank Haskew, Head of Taxation Strategy, looks at the issue of tax agents and why the government considers there is a need for greater regulation and oversight to help prevent bad practices.
