Can you trust AI with your tax questions?

The government's new AI chatbot can answer basic tax questions using official http://GOV.UK guidance, but it isn't designed for complex tax situations and, like any AI, it can sometimes get things wrong.

AI is a useful starting point – but it shouldn't replace professional advice when money is at stake.

Mandatory payrolling of Benefits in Kind starts in 2027

HMRC has confirmed that from April 2027, many employee benefits - including company cars, vans and private medical insurance - will need to be reported through payroll instead of annual P11Ds.

Although the changes don't start until next year, now is the time to review your employee benefits and payroll processes to avoid last-minute disruption.

A recent football referee tribunal case has highlighted just how complex employment status can be.

The tribunal ruled that referees working for PGMOL were self-employed rather than employees for tax purposes, despite HMRC arguing that PAYE and National Insurance should apply.

The decision was based on several factors, including:
✔️ Flexibility to accept or decline work
✔️ No ongoing obligation to provide work
✔️ Short-term engagements
✔️ Limited integration into the organisation

Employment status isn’t always straightforward – and getting it wrong can be costly for businesses.

A recent tribunal case has highlighted the risks of relying on weak or poorly supported R&D tax relief claims

HMRC successfully challenged a company’s claim after the supporting reports failed to clearly explain:
✔️ The technological advance
✔️ The uncertainty being resolved
✔️ Why the work qualified as R&D

The case also showed the importance of working with experienced and competent advisers, especially as HMRC continues to increase scrutiny in this area.

If your business is considering an R&D claim, it’s important to make sure your evidence and processes are robust from the start.
