Fiscal Drag: The Hidden Tax Increase

Have you noticed that your salary goes up, but you do not feel much better off?

This may be due to fiscal drag.

Fiscal drag happens when wages and prices increase, but tax thresholds stay frozen. As a result, you may pay more tax or move into a higher tax band, even though your real spending power has not increased.

Understanding how tax thresholds affect you can help with better financial and tax planning.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING FOR COMPANY DIRECTORS

Scammers are increasingly impersonating Companies House and sending convincing emails asking directors to verify their identity.

The Companies House identity verification requirement is genuine. However, criminals are taking advantage of it to steal:

❌ Passport or driving licence copies
❌ Bank and financial information
❌ Passwords and authentication codes
❌ Payments for fake identity verification services

How to protect yourself:

✅ Do not click links in suspicious emails.
✅ Check the sender’s address – genuine Companies House emails should end in “.gov.uk”.
✅ Access Companies House services independently through GOV.UK.
✅ Never disclose your password, bank details or authentication code.

Forward suspicious emails to:

📧 [email protected]

If you are unsure whether a message is genuine, contact your accountant before providing any personal information or making a payment.

🚨 **HMRC siunčia 65 000 įspėjamųjų laiškų kriptovaliutų investuotojams**

HMRC stiprina kriptovaliutų sandorių patikrinimus. Pranešama, kad investuotojams siunčiami įspėjamieji laiškai dėl galimai nedeklaruoto pelno ir nesumokėto **Capital Gains Tax**.

Svarbu žinoti, kad mokestinė prievolė gali atsirasti ne tik pardavus kriptovaliutą už svarus. Kriptovaliutos perleidimu taip pat gali būti laikoma:

🔹 vienos kriptovaliutos iškeitimas į kitą;
🔹 atsiskaitymas kriptovaliuta už prekes ar paslaugas;
🔹 kriptovaliutos padovanojimas kitam asmeniui, išskyrus tam tikras išimtis;
🔹 pelningas kriptovaliutos pardavimas.

Jeigu gavote HMRC laišką, jo neignoruokite. Reikėtų patikrinti ankstesnių metų sandorius ir įsitikinti, ar visos apmokestinamos pajamos bei pelnas buvo tinkamai deklaruoti.

Negavote laiško, bet anksčiau prekiavote kriptovaliutomis? Vis tiek verta pasitikrinti – HMRC gali gauti informaciją iš kriptovaliutų prekybos platformų.

📩 Reikia pagalbos apskaičiuojant kriptovaliutų pelną ar pataisant ankstesnę deklaraciją? Susisiekite su **ZipTax Ltd**.

🚨 **HMRC sends 65,000 warning letters to crypto investors**

HMRC is increasing its scrutiny of cryptocurrency transactions. Reports indicate that approximately 65,000 warning letters are being sent to investors regarding potentially undeclared gains and unpaid **Capital Gains Tax**.

A taxable disposal may arise not only when cryptocurrency is sold for pounds. It may also include:

🔹 exchanging one cryptocurrency for another;
🔹 using cryptocurrency to purchase goods or services;
🔹 gifting cryptocurrency to another person, subject to certain exceptions;
🔹 selling cryptocurrency at a profit.

If you receive a letter from HMRC, do not ignore it. You should review your previous transactions and check whether all taxable income and gains were correctly reported.

Even if you have not received a letter, it may still be sensible to review your tax position if you have previously traded cryptoassets. HMRC may receive transaction information from cryptoasset platforms.
