How your business can gain tax rebates through Capital Allowances
Tuesday Dec 5, 2023
We talk to Capital Allowances reclaim expert Jason Batty, to find out how B&Bs, guesthouses and small hotels can gain many thousands in tax rebates, using actual examples of similar businesses he has helped - and we find out how you can start the process, with no financial risk.
"Trade Talk" Webcast hosted by eviivo, December 2022:
eviivo say:
As the country's official trade body, the UK's B&B Association has helped hundreds of independent accommodation providers with all aspects of running their business. By providing practical help and advice when dealing with day to day operations, and representing owners' interests with government, the Association has gained the respect of both businesses and policy makers. eviivo are therefore very pleased to welcome the Association's Chair, David Weston, to the first of a series of Trade Talks where we discuss with him the hot topics affecting the hospitality sector in the UK and beyond.
As well as catching up on many recent changes at Westminster, for the first of our chats we asked David about tourism taxes, registration schemes and financial support available to businesses. We also posed the questions that we know many hosts and hoteliers want to know the answers to today.
New Short-Term Lets licensing rules: a briefing for Scottish B&Bs and guesthouses
This webinar gives B&B and guesthouse owners in Scotland an overview of the Scottish Government's planned local licensing schemes for "short-term lets", and an update on the latest situation - especially as regards guesthouses in planning "Class 7".
The licensing schemes will require action from B&Bs and from many guesthouses.
Host: David Weston, Chair, Scottish B&B Association
In this B&B Association webinar, collective purchasing expert Gurvinder Patara (who runs the B&B Association Purchasing Group) explains what B&Bs can do to minimise the impact of soaring business energy costs, and how the B&B Association Purchasing Group can help you make savings.
A member told us last month: "We've been really impressed with the [B&B Association Purchasing Group] benefits and savings. We recently contacted them about our energy renewal contract, which was a bit complicated, but thankfully they helped us find the best deal. They saved us time and money so I would definitely recommend them to other B&Bs, especially for help with the energy renewals."
