Kieran Coughlan: One of busiest tax times for VAT, PAYE, Capital Gains, etc

The coming few weeks is perhaps one of the busiest times on the tax front, covering VAT, PAYE, Capital Gains Tax, and a new income tax charge for certain pension products.

Firstly, from a VAT perspective, this month sees the final VAT return to be returned for 2016, whether VAT registered traders operate on two-month, three-month, six-month, or 12-month instalments.

Along with filing the VAT return, many traders will also be required to submit a Return of Trading Details (RTD), coinciding with the end of their accounting period.
