| Dear clients and friends, It's midsummer, that special time when days are long and spirits are high. In this edition of our quarterly Sable eNewsletter, we bring you an in-depth feature on what the EU Gender Directive could mean to your insurance requirements, and we explain why setting up an offshore trust in Mauritius makes a great deal of sense. We also have our usual reminders of important tax deadlines. If you'd like to get in touch about anything in this newsletter, email us on info@sable-group.com. We're here to help. Chat to you again in the autumn. But first, have a wonderful summer! The Sable team Tel: 020 7759 7514 |  | |  Offshore trusts and financial planning If you are planning on settling in South Africa in the future, it might be advisable to set up an offshore trust to hold your overseas assets. Recent changes to exchange controls in South Africa have made the formation of an offshore trust much more cost-effective. Now that married couples can transfer up to R8m offshore annually, it finally provides enough capital to justify the administration costs. The favoured solution is to "lend" the funds to the trustees and charge them a reasonable market-related interest. You then avoid donations tax but do need to pay tax on the interest earned. | | Real-time information - new legislation for all employers In April 2013, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will introduce a new way of reporting PAYE. Called "Real Time Information", or RTI, it will mean that employers and pension providers will tell HMRC about PAYE payments at the time they are made, as part of their payroll process. Payroll software will collect the necessary information and send it to HMRC online. In short, you will submit information about PAYE payments throughout the year, as part of your payroll process - rather than at the end of the year as you do now. This new legislation could have a substantial impact on your payroll team. Sable will be happy to help you with this.
