Editor’s LETTER

It’s our favourite issue of the year - the Christmas BN5! This month we’ve got the gloriously hairyarmed ‘ugly sisters’ gracing our cover, with Cinderella too of course, looking much more beautiful! Don’t miss Henfield Theatre Company’s next production, it’s something fun to look forward to when the festivities are almost over.

This Christmas, we’d like to ask you all a favour.

Our High Street needs your help. Before you buy all your shopping online please take a look in the village, Henfield has so much to offer. If we all spend just a small percentage of our Christmas gift and food shopping in the village it’ll really make a difference. To entice you, please take a look at our centrefold where there’s two pages of discount vouchers to spend during the Christmas shopping events. Please support them and help make this tough year a little easier.

Finally, we would like to say an enormous ‘thank you’ to everyone in the village for supporting Walk for Olivia back in October. The fundraising has gone over £15,000 - incredible. It was such a special day, one we’ll never forget. Henfield is an extraordinary village, the Brain Tumour Charity and Olivia’s family were overwhelmed by the enormous show of support. Please take a look at page 26 for our report, we’ll post more photographs on our website.

Wishing you all a peaceful and happy Christmas.

2019 DOWNLAND CALENDAR As seen in November’s issue of BN5 Magazine, the 2019 Downland Calendar, which showcases the beauty of the South Downs through the seasons, is proving as popular as the previous edition.

Fiona Ayres of newsagents Stokes in Henfield reports, “So far, this beautiful calendar is selling steadily. I expect it to fly off the shelves during November and December”. Similarly, Katherine Hillman of Rushfields Plant Centre in Poynings says, “We are confident that we will sell more than the previous issue and are so pleased to help raise funds for the Fulking Village Hall in this way.”

All the local stockists are selling the calendars at no profit to themselves, and twelve local businesses have generously sponsored the Calendar by paying for the printing.

The Downland Calendar is available locally for £7.

The Calendar is also in stock at Swains, Springs in Edburton and the Shepherd & Dog in Fulking.

Dave Malkin Richard Putnam An award ceremony this year coincided with the 100th Anniversary of formation of 1st Henfield Cubs, and awards went to one cub each from the Arun and Adur Packs.

The ‘Cub of the Year’ is an annual award that goes to the Cub that has stood out by, for example, taking a full part in all the activities throughout the Cub year. The Cub will have set a very good example, led and been part of teams, attended key events such as Remembrance parade and our camps. This year we had a lot of worthy candidates out of our 55 Cubs, but two stood out.

In addition to all of the above they also took it upon themselves to independently plan events that raised funds for the much needed new Scout hut.

A very well done to Emily Hilton from the 1st Henfield (Arun) Cub Pack and Harry Pritchard from the 1st Henfield (Adur) Cub Pack.

ST PETER’S AT THE MUSEUM Year 6 from St Peter’s Primary School recently enjoyed a trip to the Henfield Museum as part of their topic on World War Two. Mr Barwick and his team gave three talks and demonstrations about what Henfield’s experience of World War Two was like.

The children were able to see photos, hear radio broadcasts and try out equipment such as a variety of hats/helmets and working a stirrup pump. The visit ended with a sing-along to some World War Two songs and an ear-splitting demonstration of the air raid siren.

The children ere fascinated about what life was like in their village and we would all like to take the opportunity once again to say thank-you for the time and effort the museum staff put into their presentations. We’ll be back again next year!

DOWNLAND VILLAGES RECIPES The four Churches in the Downland Benefice – Edburton, Newtimber, Poynings and Pyecombe, came together to collect their favourite recipes and publish them in this little book, beautifully illustrated by Rev Graham Jeffery.

Graham’s drawings cleverly capture the spirit of our villages and will bring a smile to your face every time you are seeking your new favourite recipe.

The Barnabas Cartoon books, a series printed in Australia is Graham’s first claim to fame. Over here, The Fat King, The little Man and Thomas the Tortoise are books Graham wrote and illustrated which became very popular. In the time of the short late-night TV Epilogue, he was televised drawing and speaking, as he reached the hearts of many of his viewers.

Today Graham works tirelessly for his Parish.

His children’s illustrations at Messy Church in Fulking are legendary. Each Edburton service at St. Andrew’s is personalised with his wonderful pictures explaining the Gospels. You can meet Graham as he signs the Downland Villages Recipe Books on 8 December 11am-1pm at Gallery BN5.

RDA GROUP MAKE AUDREY’S WISH COME TRUE South Downs Riding for the Disabled group, based at H&MSEA in Albourne, recently received an unusual request from the family of Audrey Merry, who lives at Skylark House care home in Horsham and has just celebrated her 100th birthday. Audrey has a bucket list of wishes for her centenary year, one of which was to sit in the saddle again and relive her riding days from the past.

In October she visited the group to watch them in action and pet the ponies and following that, with the support of RDA volunteers, her family and care home staff, she returned to make her wish come true. Audrey mounted Toffee with confidence and enthusiasm and carried out several laps of the school with a straight back, perfect riding position and a beaming smile on her face, recounting tales of her youth as she went. It was a truly memorable event for all concerned! BBC Radio Sussex were also in attendance and the event was broadcast live on Danny Pike’s morning show. www. southdownsrda.org.

CAN YOU HELP? Henfield Museum is asking for help to identify some former Scouts and Cubs. The photo, one of a number of scouting photographs on display in the museum was taken in March 1978. It shows Basil Nicholls being presented with a certificate

by Ron Kersey to mark 10 years as the Henfield Group Scout Leader. There is also a cake which I am sure the boys would have to tucked into. Basil had an electrician’s business in Henfield, which was carried on by his son Peter.

LEONARDSLEE LAKES & GARDENS: PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED The owner of Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens says that the 200 acre woodland gardens estate has now been granted planning permission by Horsham District Council.

The venue attracted some 50,000 visitors a year until it closed to the public in 2010 as a result of financial difficulties. New owner Penny Streeter OBE and her team undertook a major programme of investment over 18 months in renovating the Italianate mansion and estate, which features the Grade I Listed gardens: “We can now begin completion of the final phase of the essential building works that will enable us to open the estate to the public. This is great news, but the scale of the work required is such that we will not be able to confirm the future opening date until 1 December. We will announce a confirmed date to open as soon as we can.

“We are now focusing our efforts on completing the next and final phase, which includes building a car park and ticket office, as well as developing a new public entrance from the road. There are a range of factors that affect the timing of completion, not least being the weather conditions, given that the work is outdoors, and we are coming into winter soon.

Local author, Charles Taylor has just published his book, The God Conclusion, which is available to purchase on Amazon, amzn.to/2Og3Eni. Never lacking ambition, Charles hopes that it will change the world, but essentially it is an irreligious attack upon Richard Dawkins’ “The God Delusion.”

Dawkins’ depressing materialism suggests that we are mere automata stumbling through life controlled by chemical reactions in our brains and lacking consciousness or spirit.

Positive reviews include, “Fascinating and thought provoking. I’m not religious person but I really enjoyed this book. It explored the evidence in an entertaining and very engaging way and left me with plenty a to ponder on. Highly recommended.”

Millie said: “St Barnabas has been a huge thing in my life. It started with my mum. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February 2015. She went to St Barnabas for pain and medication management. She was so happy there, and it made a massive difference to her.

“Mum died in April 2015 and then in December 2016, my husband Paul became ill. He was diagnosed with the neurological condition CJD. They say it’s like dementia fast forward times ten. Only 66 people a year in the country get CJD. He was just so unlucky. By the time he got to St Barnabas, everything was shutting down. I never felt like I was putting the staff out. They can never do enough for you. Paul died with dignity.

He slipped away really peacefully. Everybody has to go through bereavement, but I feel like I had a double dose of it. I’m doing alright now, but there are loads more families who need help right now.

Please, will you help St Barnabas be there for them by making a donation this Christmas?”

VEHICLE AWARENESS AT JOLESFIELD C.E. PRIMARY SCHOOL A Vehicle Awareness Session was held at Jolesfield C.E. Primary School in September. The school worked in partnership with T&M Bowser Solutions, who have recently moved into the area (they are based on the Star Road Industrial Estate in Partridge Green).

As a transport company, one of their major concerns is vehicle safety for road users, especially vulnerable road users – young and old. They ran a fun, but informative, morning at the school – bringing a selection of lorries and vehicles to the playground – to help demonstrate what the driver of an HGV sees and how pedestrians can assist the driver to safeguard themselves from harm.

£10,000 REWARD OFFERED TO CATCH THE LOXWOOD ARSONIST Owners of the Loxwood Meadow have offered a £10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of an arsonist or arsonists who set a barn and seating area alight in the early hours of Friday 27 July.

Home of the Loxwood Joust and located off the B2133 north of Billingshurst, the fire that caused an estimated £35,000 of damage also endangered the 50-acre woodland and the people that were on site in the meadows at that time. Thankfully, the barn was unoccupied and no-one was hurt; with the quick response from the fire brigade also ensuring that the fire did not spread to the surrounding tinder dry woodlands.

Police are investigating the arson and PC John Blight of the Chichester Investigations team said; “Our enquiries have so far not identified the motive or those responsible for this offence, but the offer of the reward by the land owners, subject to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible, may well produce information.”

Maurice Bacon, who owns the farmland said “The Loxwood Meadows are special and have received recognition for their wealth of natural habitats and

t was the most beautiful autumnal day on Sunday 21 October when Henfield residents walked together in their hundreds in memory of a much-loved local lady, Olivia Pugh, who owned Hamfelds Home and Garden. Olivia fought an aggressive brain tumour and although she fully intended to join the village in their fundraising walk, she sadly lost her battle and passed away on Thursday 4 October at St Barnabas House Hospice.

Walk for Olivia has now raised an incredible £15,497.30 for The Brain Tumour Charity. The idea for a community walk came after I spoke with Olivia when she was first diagnosed, in her alwayspositive way she wanted to raise as much money and awareness for the Brain Tumour Charity as she could in the time she had left to her. Her idea was to walk the South Downs Way in a pair of highheeled wellies – her trademark high heels were so familiar to her customers. Sadly, the illness took hold before she could complete her wish, so, at BN5 we decided to organise a Henfield walk on her behalf.

Olivia was a great friend to us at BN5 and to the village, she had incredible energy and a huge smile. She threw herself into the community and always supported local charities, she was a great advocate of shopping locally and keeping our high street alive.

She helped us enormously with fundraising for St Barnabas during our Christmas Draw almost two years ago, and we visited the Hospice with her to present a cheque. Six months later, Olivia was diagnosed with a grade 4 tumour. She approached her illness with the same courage and positive attitude and we never saw her waver in her determination to raise awareness and funds for The Brain Tumour Charity. If we add together the Big BN5 Draw total and the Walk for Olivia, her energy and enthusiasm has inspired over £22,000 of fundraising within just 12 months.

The Walk for Olivia was a special village day. There were two walks running concurrently - one short walk around the Henfield Twittens and a longer, seven kilometre walk along the Downslink and River Adur, taking in some of Henfield’s finest views. 670 people walked, from the youngest to the oldest, some with sticks, mobility scooters or an extra helping hand, and some running the full distance, some with 4 legged friends. Some even walked the route as a 3 legged challenge! It was a sea of red, in the sunshine, dotted with Brain Tumour Charity t-shirts and badges.

After the walk volunteers from Henfield Wild Violets WI sold tea and homemade cake while Henfield BP Guild cooked sausages and burgers for the hungry walkers and served pints of Dark Star beer.

Local businesses, groups and individuals made the event a huge success, baking and donating the cakes, sausages, beer, venue hire; making the event cost almost zero.

“It was moving to see such a large number of Henfield people of all ages turning out for the walk, accompanied of course by their faithful doggy pals. Right across the fields, into the far distance, you could see a winding line of bright dots of red against the gold, brown and green of the fields, in the gentle October sunshine.”

Penny Ann McKeon

We have been humbled and overwhelmed by the generosity of Henfield people and how, when the village decides to, it comes together as a very powerful whole for a cause, or a person. From individual acts of generosity and spirit, like the determination of one 97 year old lady to complete the Twittens walk with her frame, to the kindness, without expecting thanks or recognition, of local businesses, organisations and individuals. Olivia’s spirit was with us and the day was how she would have wanted it; sunshine, smiles and a celebration of a life well lived.

GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT OF

ollowing our successful shopping feature earlier in the summer, this Christmas we are supporting our brilliant village High Street and encouraging residents to do the same.

We all have a tendency to spend more money than usual at this time of year, whether it’s on food and drink, wrapping paper and cards, decorations and lights or gifts and vouchers. We have a choice in terms of where and how we spend this money, so before you go online or head for an out-of-town shopping centre, why not check out what our wonderful High Street has to offer? Not only will you be bagging yourself a bargain, but you will also be helping to keep our village alive.

Our village is hosting some great festive events, including the popular Christmas Tree festival and the Sheep Trail. Supporting all this we have pullout vouchers for festive freebies and discounts in the centre of BN5, but hurry – they are only valid during the Christmas evening on Friday 7th and on Saturday 8th December, and whilst stocks last!

The Henfield festive season starts in earnest with the annual charity concert ‘Christmas Starts Here’ in aid of St Barnabas Hospice which will take place at the Henfield Hall from 7-9.30pm on Thursday 6 December. This ever-popular event will include local opera singer Sidonie Winter, supported by The Bothy Singers and other local soloists, tickets are available from Stokes.

For those who know their Harry Potter, Diagon Alley is coming to Henfield High Street on the evening of Friday 7 December from 4pm-8pm, with a ‘Wizards and Wands’ themed late-night shopping event! Come dressed in capes and wizard hats, and collect your magical map from Stokes to begin exploring the surprises on offer throughout the evening: from wands and butter beer to chocolate frogs and Harry Potter glasses, there will be plenty of fun things on offer. Whilst you’re out and about, look out for the Harry Potter lookalike who will be drifting in an out of the crowds and take a look at the real live owls in Stokes garden.

Santa’s sleigh (to be guarded by the BP Guild) will be parked in Cagefoot Lane whilst his reindeer will rest in Stokes garden.

For those needing more traditional and less magical refreshments, all the pubs will be open throughout the evening, plus Rushfields will have their food van selling pies and pasties and the BP Guild will be serving burgers from their barbeque.

The Henfield Christmas magic will continue with ‘Super Saturday’ on 8 December with a day of festive freebies, discounts and giveaways! Shops and businesses up and down the High Street will be open until 6pm giving you plenty of time to explore all the offers, spend your vouchers and get a head start on your Christmas shopping. Just for this day we also have FREE parking in both Henfield car parks on Saturday only.

Whoever you’re buying for, you’re sure to find

something: whether it’s vouchers, fashion, jewellery, art, furniture, picture frames, hampers, or food and drink, there’s loads to choose from.

You will also find all the Christmas basics such as trees, lights, decorations, cards, wrapping paper, Christmas cake and mince pies! Meanwhile, for the children, Santa himself will be found in his grotto (he kindly allows us to use as a bus shelter at other times of the year) where he will be receiving visitors with his Youth Club helpers. There will be fairground rides and fun with Shayler’s Funfair parked outside Setyres from 3-6pm.

The Christmas Tree Festival will be open all day (see page 43 for more detail), as will the everpopular Sheep Trail.

So let’s make Christmas special this year for our High Street and shop locally!

Henfield Christmas Tree Festival

C

hristmas is fast approaching which means that the Christmas Tree Festival at the Henfield Evangelical Free Church will be here in no time at all!

We had a fabulous time last year; wonderful, imaginative trees, yummy hot chocolate and hundreds of happy faces all looking at the handiwork of our talented villagers. It was a magical time which saw the community join together in fun. We even had four-legged friends wandering through (naturally, they have a special interest in trees)! The school children’s creations were especially amazing - over 100 little trees adorned the church foyer! The thoughtfulness and skill put into these trees made them a hit with everyone who came for a look.

So we now look forward to the weekend of 7-9 December. We can’t wait to see how people have decided to decorate their trees! Come and check-

out all our trees and lights, see who has caught the judges’ eyes, join in the carol-singing and warm up with hot chocolate - we’d love to see you there!

We will be open on Friday 7 December from 5–8:30pm and on Saturday 8 December from 10am–6pm. St Peter’s Hand Bell Ringers will be with us on Saturday morning from 10:30am-12pm – you may even have a try-out yourself! In the afternoon, from 2-3pm there will be a Christmas Carol Sing-along! At our family worship service at 10:30am on Sunday 9 December we will be surrounded by all the wonderful Christmas trees!

Please come and join us!

There is no entry fee for this event, but we will be collecting donations for TEAR Fund in support of their Indonesia Earthquake/Tsunami relief work.

See you there!

The annual Henfield Sheep Trail is back by popular demand for the month of December! Pick up your form and see if you can find all the sheep who will be hiding in the High Street shop windows!

WIN

a Signed & Framed Brighton & Hove Albion Shirt in time for Christmas!

T

he Henfield FC U8’s are raffling an original signed and framed Brighton & Hove Albion football shirt this December, an absolutely perfect Christmas gift for the Seagulls fan in your life.

The draw will take place on Saturday 8th December on the day of the Henfield Super Shopping Saturday, so make sure you get your tickets soon. They will be on sale priced at just £1 each at the Henfield Christmas Shopping Evening on Friday 7th December and on the day of the Henfield Super Shopping Saturday, where the Henfield FC U8’s will have a stand. Raffle tickets are also available by contacting Steve Neville at steve.neville1@hotmail.co.uk or on 07879 569710.

The signed shirt is not just a great prize, but you will know that your ticket purchase will go directly towards helping the children to play football and buy new training kit. The shirt was kindly donated

by Antony Cook from Mounted Memories who is related to one of boys in our team, so a massive thank you to Anthony.

Henfield FC U8’s would like to thank their two sponsors; Marcus Grimes Estate Agents and Gardner & Scardifield. Without their support the

01273 494002

team would not have their own football kit, we really appreciate the support of these two local businesses.

The Henfield FC U8’s originally started in the summer of 2017 and are now playing their first full season in the Horsham District Youth Football League in the U8 age group. There are 16 children in the team who regularly play league matches every Saturday morning and take part in fun and development-based training sessions on Tuesday afternoons at 4.45pm at the Henfield Leisure Centre. The team are looking for new recruits, so if your child is 8 or younger then please feel free to contact Steve Neville on the contact details above.

Finally, GOOD LUCK! Steve Neville

Advanced Clinical & Sports Massage Advance Clinical Massage comes to Henfield.

As the NHS make plans to cut funding on certain procedures, it is getting increasingly important to find good body-workers who are effective in pain relief.

“I work to get people out of pain, whether caused through sport or everyday activity, as well as getting clients back to full fitness through rehabilitation. If a de-stress is all you need, then that’s great too. On a typical day I successfully integrate into my treatments, modalities ranging from trigger point to traction, stretching to strengthening, fascial work to frictions. This principle of a ‘massage fusion’ has gained me satisfied clients week-on-week and is fundamental for a successful outcome” says Nicky. “Each treatment is specific to the problem”. nb Clinical Massage Therapy is run by Nicky Burn. Certified in BSc Sports Science, ACMT and a 3 year degree level BTEC6 diploma in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage. This effectively puts Nicky on a par with other professionals such as physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths.

DECEMBER 2018 | Local interest

or many years The Chanctonbury Ring Morris Men (also known as ‘Chancs’) practised through the winter months at the Woodmancote Parish Hall, which has now sadly closed. After last winter’s unsatisfactory move to Southwick, we are now at the Catholic Church Hall in Henfield!

Although some of the men are from in and around Henfield, the Chancs have team members from as far-afield as Bognor to the west, Seaford to the east and Dorking to the north. Like many local clubs, we are currently looking for more men to come and join the team.

We are an all-male side and we dance two styles of Morris: ‘Cotswold’ is named after the region of England in which it still existed when Morris was ‘rediscovered’ late in Victorian times. Typical of the style is the use of bells (on bell-pads, strapped to the legs) and handkerchiefs or sticks used to emphasise the movement of the arms. ‘North West Clog’ hails, as the name suggests, from the NorthWest of England, and the clogs have solid wooden soles and are shod with iron.

There’s no age limit, but between 16 and 60 is ideal! Beginners can easily learn one or two simple dances ready for the summer when we dance out on Wednesday nights, mainly at pubs, and at events on the occasional weekend.

Why not drop-in and talk to us at one of our practise nights? The Catholic Church Hall is in the centre of Henfield, just beyond St Peters church in Church Lane off Church Street. We dance there from 8-10pm every Wednesday through the winter and then have a beer or two at a local pub.

Of course we also welcome musicians – both men and women - to join us too. Dancers and musicians from any other Morris sides who fancy a change of ‘tradition’, or who have recently moved to the area are also very welcome to join.

To find out more about Morris Men dancing, search for Chanctonbury Ring Morris Men on YouTube, visit the CRMM website at www.crmm.org.uk, see our Facebook page, Tweet us @crmm1953 or simply email bagman@crmm.org.uk Clive Funnell

Due to the recent closure of The Frankland Arms in Washington, Chanctonbury Ring Morris Men will be dancing and performing the popular Boxing Day Mumming play at a ‘new’ venue: The White Horse in Steyning at 12.30pm. This is in fact just a return to our roots, as our annual Mumming Play is actually called ‘the Steyning Tipteers play’ performed in the 1950’s and 60’s at The White Horse.

‘Tipteering’ is the Sussex term for what is generally known elsewhere as ‘Mumming’. Each locality had its own play, with slight variations in text, length, characters etc. Tipteering gangs travelled around their local area, performing the play at houses and pubs in exchange for beer, food and coins! The text was first published in the Folk-Lore Journal (Vol2, no 1) in 1884, in an article by the Brighton based Victorian historian Fred Sawyer. Since 1956, Chancs have become the custodians of this play, and perform it each year on Boxing Day. 01273 494002

Budget Review

The Chancellor’s Budget was given in the shadow of the earlier announcement that ‘austerity is over’, so expectations were running high for large spending commitments and a more forgiving tax environment.

Spending on the NHS, infrastructure and social care were all covered early on, while some surprising tax announcements followed. Individuals will be happy that the expected increases to the Personal Allowance have come in a year earlier than anticipated and one of the few giveaways for businesses is a temporary fivefold increase in the Annual Investment Allowance.

The surprises of the day were in relation to changes to Entrepreneur’s Relief, Principal Private Residence relief and a pushing forward with the off-payroll working rules in the private sector. No significant changes were announced to pensions and the rate of Corporation Tax is still on track to be 17% in 2020.

However, with a possible second Budget in the spring, we could still see a raid on pension tax relief and a race to the bottom with our Corporation Tax rate in an attempt to retain the UK’s attractiveness as a destination for investment after Brexit.

Corporate & Business Tax - The main rate of Corporation Tax will still fall to 17% in 2020 so the Chancellor has kept in reserve the ability to reduce it further pending the outcome of the Brexit negotiations. Entrepreneurs may be relieved that the changes to Entrepreneur’s Relief may not affect them even though the change announced was unexpected.

Large digital businesses such as Google, Facebook and Amazon are targeted with a new Digital Services Tax and other large companies are due to suffer further restrictions on how they can claim relief for their losses.

The measures to encourage businesses to make investment include a temporary increase to the Annual Investment Allowance to £1m per year will be welcome. Included alongside the main announcements were the targeting anti-avoidance measures we have come to expect, but businesses will be more concerned by what will happen in the New Year if the Chancellor feels the need to have another Budget in the spring.

Property Tax - Further business rates relief measures were directed at the retail sector, but only for smaller businesses. There is no help for the larger retailers struggling with the general downturn in that sector.

Developers may see a cooling-off of demand for newly constructed residential properties, with a suggestion of a further 1% applicable to non-resident purchasers on top of the 3% surcharge introduced for many in 2016.

Other measures relevant to the property sector covered elsewhere in this update include an increase in the Annual Investment Allowance from £200,000 to £1 million per year; changing the burden of charging VAT on the provision of certain services in the construction sector from the sub-contractors to contractors; and the introduction of the off-payroll working rules to the private sector from April 2020 Private Client/Individuals - The Chancellor has got ahead of himself by bringing the increases in the Personal Allowance and higher rate thresholds into force a year early. The big surprise was around changes to the Principal Private Residence relief which, in a property market that has significantly slowed, will generate Capital Gains Tax liabilities through the loss of lettings relief and a shortening of the final period exemption. Pensions were left pretty much alone but, as we are promised another Budget in the event that Brexit does not go to plan, the Chancellor may choose to raid the tax relief on pensions in the spring.

Employment Tax - The big news for employers is that the off-payroll working rules are now confirmed as being extended to the private sector from April 2020 which means that medium and large employers will now need to completely rethink how they engage with limited company contractors with little time to do so given that the detailed consultation on this is not expected until well into 2019. Smaller employers escape these rules for now and will also get to keep their annual employment allowance, which will no longer be available to larger employers. Other tweaks to the employment tax regime were relatively minor.

Not for Profit Tax - An extension of the small trader exemption and Gift Aid small donation scheme will be welcome news for charities. Charities should be aware of other matters in this update including the off-payroll working rules being extended to the private sector and confirmation that the VAT registration threshold is not now due to change for until at least 1 April 2022 so the concern that it will be dramatically reduced is over for the time being.

VAT & Indirect Tax - The Budget did not contain any major surprises on VAT, but a number of the measures being introduced are aimed at targeting specific loopholes or VAT avoidance. When HMRC has not been successful in litigation, or the potential litigation involved could be protracted and expensive, targeted measures can deal with matters swiftly.
