Paul Austen, Chartered Accountant and Associate of Wincham Consultants discusses some of the Tax updates in last weeks Emergency Budget which may have an effect on our Spanish Tax solutions of UK Company ownership for properties in Spain.
Last week the Coalition held its much-anticipated Emergency Budget and as well as spending cuts, significant Tax changes have been made and I thought you would like to know about some of the main changes discussed. As always of course the devil is in the detail and we will be analysing the announcements over the coming days to identify changes that were not announced in the public speech and to spot any Tax planning opportunities coming out of the changes.

Income Tax
• Personal Tax free allowance increased from £6,475 per year to £7,475 in April 2011. Long term objective to increase to £10,000.
