Sessions this month cover various topics including losses for sole traders, the January self-assessment deadline and inheritance tax, trusts and pensions.

‘Talking Points’ are interactive sessions which give agents an opportunity to hear from, and question, HMRC’s subject matter experts on a number of different topics.

Friday 8 January 14:45–15:45 – trade losses and an introduction to basis periods

Friday 15 January 13:45–14:45 – common themes for Self-Assessment peak January 2016

Friday 22 January 12:00–12:45 – inheritance tax, trusts & pensions – find out about penalties, common errors and unsupported deductions

These interactive sessions run via the ‘CITRIX’ platform. There is a chance to ask questions during each of the sessions, but if you have any questions for HMRC’s subject matter expert prior to the meeting please send them to team.agentengagement@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk
