- 11 Apr 2025
- David Missen
As the impact of the Budget 2024 changes sinks in, it is clear that asset transfers will feature heavily in the range of responses suggested to (or by) clients. Certainly, this is the case in some of the more imaginative proposals which have been suggested in social media! However, these “cunning plans” tend to ignore the impact of the various related party rules, which are intended to ensure that everyone is related to almost everyone to whom they might like to pass assets and hence market value is used instead of stated transaction value. It may therefore be useful to draw together the main ...

Office applications and GIFs
- 12 Dec 2022
- Simon Hurst
A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) file is a graphic file, like a bitmap or JPEG file, but it has a superpower: the ability to display an animation rather than just a single still image. You might be familiar with GIFs from their use in Social Media applications or as short, silent animations within online training material. As well as demonstrating how much you are laughing out loud at a friend’s latest message, GIFs can be very useful as a training or troubleshooting aid.

Sway: PDFs for the 2020s
- 05 Mar 2021
