Christmas Jumper Day

Hillmans Chartered Accountants in Worle, Weston-super-Mare are proud to support Christmas Jumper Day.


What is Christmas Jumper Day?

Christmas Jumper Day is an annual fundraising campaign in the UK organised by Save the Children. The charity is asking people to make the world better with a sweater by wearing a Christmas jumper for the day and donating to Save the Children.

As Chartered Accountants we’re known for being a rather conservative bunch. However on Friday 12th December we’re going to throw caution to the wind and swap our work attire for a Christmas jumper.

All our team will be wearing a woolly jumper and donating to the Save the Children foundation which is an amazing charity.

If you would like to donate and spread the jumper joy please text TEAMHILLMANS to 70050 to donate £2. Your £2 could buy potentially life-saving antibiotics to treat three newborn babies fighting infections.

Autumn Statement 2014

Autumn Statement 2014

Summary

The Chancellor of the Exchequer pulled out a few surprises in his Autumn Statement. The most eye-catching is the reform of stamp duty land tax (SDLT), which is payable by purchasers of land and property. The changes should reduce the SDLT payable on 98% of transactions which complete from 4 December 2014 onwards.
Small businesses should be pleased with the £1,500 business rate discount for small high street shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. All employers will benefit from the zero rate of employers' national insurance for workers aged under 21, which is to be extended to apprentices aged under 25 from April 2016.
