Deadline looming for expenses forms

Employers must submit P11D and P9D forms by July 6.
New guidance on submitting P11D and P9D forms

Practice managers must submit P11D and P9D forms to HMRC by July 6, 2014. These forms report expenses and benefits supplied to employees and directors for the year ending April 5, 2014.

HMRC has released a new expenses and benefits toolkit, including a checklist to help employers complete these forms correctly.

It is recommended that managers plan ahead, as gathering the information to complete these forms can be a time-consuming process.

A P11D or P9D must be completed for each employee receiving expenses or benefits during the last tax year.

For employees earning £8,500 or more per year - including the value of benefits or expenses provided - a P11D should be completed, whereas a P9D is for employees earning less than £8,500 each year.

A P11D should be used for almost all company directors, unless they have no material interest in the company, they earn less than £8,500 per year and are either a full-time working director or director of a charity or not-for-profit organisation.

Employers are also required to complete a P11D (b) to declare the Class 1A National Insurance Contributions (NIC) due on expenses and benefits provided. Employers pay NICs of 13.8 per cent on the provision of most benefits.

Payment of Class 1A NICs must reach HMRC by July 22, or July 19 if payment is made by cheque.

It is recommended that employers submit the forms electronically, using HMRC online forms, HMRC PAYE online or their payroll software if it has this facility. Alternatively, forms can be printed out and posted to HMRC.

Vets to run marathon for World Animal Protection

News Story 1
 Two recently graduated veterinary surgeons will be running the London Marathon in April to raise money for the charity World Animal Protection.

Alex Bartlett and Maeve O'Neill plan to run the race together if they are given the same start times.

Dr O'Neill said: "You're always limited in what you can do to help animals, so it is nice to raise money for a charity that helps animals around the world."

Dr Bartlett added: "I have never run a marathon before and am excited to run my first one for such a good cause!"

Both Dr Bartlett and Dr O'Neill have fundraising pages online.

BSAVA releases new Guide to Procedures

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has published a new edition of its Guide to Procedures for Small Animal Practice.

It has added four new procedures; cystostomy tube placement, endotracheal intubation, point-of-care ultrasound and wet-to-dry dressings.

BSAVA says that it is an essential step-by-step guide to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed in practice. The textbook includes new images and illustrations, as well as high-definition videos for use prior to procedures.

Nick Bexfield and Julia Riggs, editors of the new edition, said: "We have built upon the success of the previous editions by responding to the feedback received from the BSAVA readership, and hope this new guide helps to further increase the confidence and accuracy with which these procedures are performed."

Print copies are available in the BSAVA store, with a digital version in the BSAVA library.
