Beat the Tax Man – Save up to £30K

christine — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:27:05 +0000

ONLY 5 WEEKS LEFT TO BEAT THE TAX MAN!!

To maximise tax allowances most businesses need to make their purchases prior to 1st April 2012.

You could spread the cost of an asset over 5 years yet still receive the tax benefit in this financial year.

Because the Annual Investment Allowance is dropping from £100,000 to just £25,000 from 1st April 2012 (5th April; for Sole Principals and Partnerships), this means you could lose out on thousands of pounds of tax relief by delaying purchases.

If you are considering an investment in your practice in 2012

OPTRAFAIR COMPETITION WINNER FINALLY RECEIVES LATEST TECHNOLOGY PRIZE

Eight months after posting his details in an Optrafair competition to win an Anyview Dispensing Tablet, competition winner Nicholas Bateman of John Harwood Optometrists in Woking finally received his prize this November.

When asked if it was worth the wait, Mr Bateman commented, “As Harwood’s are celebrating their first Centenary this year, I can think of nothing better than starting their second centenary by dispensing using the innovative Anypad. It can easily demonstrate a number of optical subjects at a level which the patients can understand as the Anypad is very user-friendly”.

Commenting on the delay Tim Baker CEO of BiB, the UK distributors, said, “There have been a number of innovative updates in technology & functionality since the prototypes were first exhibited at Optrafair and I felt it was only fair that the competition winner received the most up to date version”.
