Section 660 - Revenue releases new booklet

 print  e-mail 

The Inland Revenue has published a new booklet - "A Guide to the Settlements Legislation for Small Business Advisers". The main aims of the document are as follows:

"This guidance brings together in one place all of the existing, and some new, Inland Revenue guidance on the application of the settlements legislation to small businesses. This guidance is intended for use primarily by tax practitioners and accountants."

"This guidance contains some background and general principles on the settlements legislation, followed by some specific details on how the legislation applies to business situations. There is also guidance on completing the SA return, especially where the taxpayer / adviser does not agree the Inland Revenue’s view of how the settlements legislation applies.
