Below are the new features and changes introduced in Sage Taxation 2022 Update 2.

Basis period reform

Basis period reform affects the way that trading income is allocated to tax years. With effect from the tax year 2024-25, the assessable profit or loss of a business will be based on activity in the actual year, rather than on an ‘accounts year’ basis. Transitional provisions apply for 2023-24.

We’ve updated Sage Business Tax to include both the transitional rules and the switch to actual basis. We will include basis period reform updates for both Sage Partnership Tax and Sage Personal Tax in our next full release, due in Spring 2023.

Non-resident capital gains tax gains qualifying for Business Asset Development Relief

HMRC has issued revised instructions, clarifying how a gain on land or property made by a non-resident which is also a qualifying Business Asset Development Relief asset should be shown on the capital gains summary pages.

We have updated our software in accordance with these instructions. See our Knowledgebase article for further details.

Capital allowance end datesWe have updated the software to take into account the cessation of Electric charge point allowance for periods starting on or after 6 April 2023 and to remove zero-emission cars and zero-emission goods vehicles from 2025.
HMRC Exclusions and Special Cases

We've updated our validation processes and information about Special Cases and Exclusions, in line with the latest HMRC advice.

SQL Express

We have updated our advice about the compatibility of Microsoft SQL servers with Sage software. Please note that SQL 2017 does not support 32-bit operating systems.
