Worried about your companys budget? Thinking about cutting the annual Christmas party? Wait a second, you dont have to by paying it through taxable benefits, which pays up to a particular amount per person at a Christmas party or another event, without you being taxed. If you are still profiteering, even a little, it is worth looking into taxable benefits for Christmas parties, summer parties and spring parties. The only criteria is the fact that it has to be an annual event, so sadly no one-off event can be covered by this benefit. It also has to be open to all employees. A taxable benefit means you are able to claim the cost of the company party against your tax bill, as long as it is within a certain limit. Every company in the U.K has a right to the maximum tax allowance of 150 per person including VAT. The only exclusions to this tax benefit are sole traders and companies with no employees (i.e. just directors with no employees). There are, however, a number of rules to follow in order to qualify for taxable benefits for staff parties. The first limit is that you are allowed a maximum of two parties per year and sadly, regular meetings down at the local restaurant or bar...more

Known as the jewel of East Africa, Kenya is home to, among countless other treasures, the so-called Big Five of wildlife: the lion; the buffalo; the leopard; the elephant; and the rhinoceros. To be lucky enough to catch a sight of any of these magnificent beasts in the wild is truly awe-inspiring. And dont forget the rest of its unparalleled array of incredible safari experiences; from the pink sea of Flamingos at Lake Nakuru, to the rather scarier crocodiles of Lake Turkana (dont get too close!), with cheetahs, zebras, and herds of wildebeest along the way. Yet this is also country with wide range of and need for volunteer work: Kenya has more to offer than safaris.The scenery, as anyone who has visited this amazing country will tell you, is truly spectacular. From vast lakes and arid planes to some of Africas most breath taking mountain areas; from dense cloud forests to the most idyllic beaches and reefs; from the beautiful and aromatic coffee and tea plantations to the incredible Great Rift Valley, which cuts across Africa. So, regardless of whether or not one wishes to go there for volunteer work, Kenya has so much to offer any visitor from any walk of life. Kenyans are...more
