The Child Trust Fund (CTF) is a long-term tax-free savings account for children born between 1 September 2002 and 2 January 2011.
The money in the CTF account belongs to the child but can’t be taken out until they are 18.
Parents, family and friends can add money to the account up to a limit of £9,000 in the 2021 to 2022 tax year.

You can’t apply for a new Child Trust Fund because the scheme is now closed. You can apply for a Junior ISA instead.

 

JUNIOR ISA

You can’t have a Junior ISA as well as a Child Trust Fund. If you want to open a Junior ISA ask the provider to transfer the trust fund into it.
The money in the Junior ISA account belongs to the child. The child can take control of the account when they’re 16 but can’t withdraw until they are 18.

Your child can only have:

  • 1 cash Junior ISA
  • 1 stocks and shares Junior ISA

Anyone (including child) can pay money into a Junior ISA, but the total amount paid in can’t go over £9000 in the 2021 to 2022 tax year.

New Leases    
Duty is charged according to the net present value of all the rental payments over the term of the lease (NPV), with a single rate of 1% on residential NPV’s over £125,000

Duty is charged according to the net present value of all the rental payments over the term of the lease (NPV) at 1% on non-residential NPV’s over £150,000 and this rises to 2% on leases with an NPV greater than £5m.

VAT is excluded from treatment as consideration provided the landlord has not opted to charge VAT by the time the lease is granted.

Lease premiums    
Duty on premiums is the same as for transfers of land .

A statutory system of Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) applies for employees using their own vehicles for business journeys, as follows:
Cars and vans:  
on the first 10,000 miles in the tax year

45p per mile

on each additional mile above this

25p per mile

 

Motorcycles

24p per mile

 

Bicycles

20p per mile

Unless the employee is reimbursed at a rate higher than the AMAP, the payments do not need to be reported on a P11D. If the employer pays less than these rates, it is possible for the employee to claim income tax relief for the shortfall.

Rates of up to 5p per mile, per passenger, are also tax and NICs free when paid for the carriage of fellow employees on the same business trip. This also covers volunteers who drive for hospital car services etc, even though they are not strictly employees.
