Eventura Leads the Way

As of Tuesday 15th December, Eventura became the 1st Sage Business Partner in the country to become accredited for the latest release of Sage 50 Payroll, an achievement that is something to be proud of! This now means that for yet another year Eventura can sell, implement and support the Sage Payroll software that integrates seamlessly with it's other accounts packages Sage 50 Accounts (formerly Line 50) and Sage 200 (MMS). Visit our website to request more information http://www.eventura.com/

In other news, the next release of Sage 200 (2010), set to launch in Spring 2010, now includes the highly useful Business Intelligence reporting tool as part of the base package. To be able to sell and implement this product, two Eventura employees travelled from Bolton to Sage HQ in Newcastle for an intense three day training course that included an accreditation exam to become certified re-sellers. One of the employees passed the exam in a fifth of the allocated time, much to the dismay of the collection of rival Sage Business Partners and Sage Employees! Once again this further accreditation enables Eventura to sell the next release of Sage 200 and successfully implement the powerful reporting tool that is Business Intelligence.

HMRC NEWS from Eventura

VAT Rate

Firstly, on Jan 1 2010, the VAT rate is going to change back to 17.5% and this is set to affect almost every business.

EC Sales List Submissions

Secondly, from the same date, it won't only be sales of goods to the EC that need to go on all EC Sales List submissions - sales of services must be recorded too. This will affect your business if you're registered for VAT in the UK and supply services to traders registered for VAT in other EC Member states.

VAT Filing

Thirdly, under Government proposals many businesses will need to start submitting their VAT returns online after Apr 1 2010. This will apply to all businesses who are VAT registered and have a turnover of more than £100,000, as well as those businesses who register for VAT after Apr 1 2010. All other businesses can continue to file on paper, at least for the time being.
