ONE of the sections of the Party Wall Act 1997 has nothing to do with party walls. Section 6 is all about ground works that are proposed by a neighbour. The

there. If the neighbour’s new build is within six metres - which is quite a long way in building terms, (close on 20ft) he can dig down to a point that is 45 degrees below your foundations without serving a notice. Less than 45 degrees and he doesn’t have to. More than six metres away and, likewise, he doesn’t have to. Yes, a point below 45 degrees below something that’s six metres away will be seriously deep - but it could happen. So the density of housing in a typical


modern


development could easily give rise to queries - if you or your neighbour is thinking of adding a garage or conservatory which is close by another building. Probably

Financial Focus On…Changing your accounting date


FOR the self-employed or those in partnership, the choice of the annual accounting date can have profound effects. The effect of a differing annual accounting date could mean that two otherwise identical businesses with the same annual profits may end up with substantially liabilities


if their


different annual


accounting dates were a mere 25 days apart.


If you consider that one business draws its accounts to April 5th, whilst the second takes April 30th as its year-end, these dates fall into different tax


years with possibly


differing tax rates, allowances, NIC charges and potentially legislation.


Additionally, for


unincorporated businesses with an accounting date other than April 5th, you may also have something


called “Overlap


Profits” which is the result of opening year profits having been assessed to tax twice or, if the business has been going long enough, on the conversion to the current basis of taxation in 1996/97. Overlap Relief is a credit that is carried forward


until either the business ceases or it changes its accounting date.


Unfortunately, Overlap


Relief is fixed and not index- linked to inflation and will therefore over time be reduced in value in real terms. Whilst a choice of April 30th annually


gives the greatest


of time between earning the money and paying tax on it, there is a sting in the tail for when a business ceases.


For


any given tax year, you are broadly assessed on the profits for the accounting periods that end in that year.


if you draw your accounts to


April 30th annually


Therefore, and


then cease trading on March 31st there are two accounting periods that end in the same tax year giving potentially 23 months of profit falling to be taxed at the same time. Whilst upon cessation any Overlap Relief will be used up, this may be woefully insufficient to offset this problem. In the above example you could either look to continue to trade for another month (in order to finish in the


subsequent tax year) or look to plan ahead in order to change your accounting date a couple of years before you actually do cease trading. Changing


the date can bring

useful where the profits in the year of change are significantly different from the usual level, particularly if


there has been a sudden

business has


changed its accounting date until the Tax Return(s) are submitted, provided that the business keeps its books and records up to date there should be abundant time to allow both the business and accountant to consider whether a change is advisable. There are of course factors why you may have the ideal accounting

when the accounts need to be prepared or a stocktake made to another part of the year may not be practical. Alternatively, you may wish to change your accounting date to align with other similar business interests. As usual, tax is not the only factor.
