Inside Portfolio Masthead
Dear ,   

 

Welcome to the first Inside Portfolio of 2012!

 

By now, you should be aware that we have switched from our old scale rate payments for meals to HMRC's benchmark package. 

 

In the very unlikely event that you haven't read the communications we've sent to you about this, you will find an overview of our new expense policy and links to the communications in the article below. We also address some of the errors made when completing our Expense Form which can cause a delay in expenses being processed. 

 

With HMRC beginning to issue coding notices, we also take a detailed look at some of the most common tax codes and what they mean. If you have ever wondered how income tax is calculated, this article will be a great help.

 

As always, we love to receive your feedback, so get in touch with us by emailing portfolio@mykeypay.com. 

 Welcome mat

Kind Regards,

 
Stephen Melville 
CEO, Key Portfolio.
