Fraud costs online businesses billions of dollars every year, but new technology can identify criminal activity before the damage is done. We’re all doing more online these days, whether that means collaborating with remote colleagues on video calls or booking travel tickets with a smartphone app. E-commerce accounted for over 19% of global retail sales in 2023, and that figure is forecast to rise to 25% by 2027. Some regions will be significantly ahead of this global total. E-commerce, video calls and online banking are popular because they make life a little bit easier. Unfortunately, they also make life a little bit easier for criminals. According to Juniper Research , the total cost of e-commerce fraud to merchants around the world will exceed USD 48 billion in 2024. Cumulative merchant losses to online payment fraud could reach USD 362 billion between 2023 and 2028. These are eye-watering numbers, and the damage goes deeper still. Merchants can suffer serious reputational damage if their data is breached, often alongside a fi ne from the regulator. Consumers can have their lives turned upside down as they chase refunds or rush to cancel credit cards and close online accounts. Find more information in UHY International's Global Issue 19

A dedicated board of trustees is at the core of every successful charity, carrying out their duties to ensure the organisation operates effectively. Charity trustees are those who have control over and are legally responsible for managing a charity. They are entrusted with the organisation's assets, and their decisions immediately impact on the charity’s beneficiaries. Charity trustees must act in the best interests of the charity, making decisions that align with its mission and values. Their dedication and expertise are essential in helping the organisation reach its objectives. Recent legislation in the form of the Charities Amendment Act 2024 (“the Act”) provides further guidance on the key duties of charity trustees, providing greater clarity on their role in a charity. The following are the primary duties of trustees: Complying with the charity’s governing document and relevant legislation Charity trustees must act in accordance with the charity’s governing document and ensure that the charity complies with all applicable laws, including charity law, company law, health and safety legislation, data protection law, and employment law. They must also keep up with any changes in legislation. Ensuring the charity's objectives are met Trustees must ensure that the organisation is fulfilling its charitable purpose, which it was set up to achieve. They must ensure that the charity’s resources are used only to carry out its purposes. It is crucial for trustees to regularly review the charity's activities and finances to ensure alignment with its charitable objectives. Maintaining accountability and transparency Donors, recipients, and the general public are among the stakeholders that charities must be open and accountable to. This involves maintaining accurate records, preparing financial reports, and submitting annual returns to the Charities Regulator. Furthermore, charities should consider implementing internal controls and governance structures to promote transparency and accountability. This will help build trust with stakeholders and demonstrate a commitment to ethical practices. Managing the charity's resources responsibly Trustees are responsible for safeguarding the charity's assets and ensuring that they are used effectively and efficiently by developing and implementing sound financial policies, monitoring income and expenditure, and managing risks. They must put in place robust internal controls in order to guarantee that all of the charity's operations are carried out in a secure and compliant manner. By managing the charity's resources responsibly, trustees can ensure that donor funds are used for their intended purposes and that the organisation remains financially sustainable. This will also help protect the charity's reputation and credibility in the eyes of donors, beneficiaries, and the public. Acting with due care and diligence Trustees must perform their obligations with a reasonable level of expertise, care, and commitment. This means attending meetings, actively participating in discussions, and making informed decisions based on available information. Charity trustees should conduct themselves with integrity and in a manner that does not damage or undermine the reputation of the charity or its volunteers and employees. Trustees should also ensure they are transparent in their decision-making processes and communicate effectively with stakeholders to maintain trust and accountability. Effective governance is critical to the success and sustainability of any charity. By carrying out their responsibilities, trustees contribute to building public trust and confidence in the charity sector. Charities with an effective board of trustees attract and retain donors and volunteers, while also ensuring efficient and effective service delivery. Ultimately, strong governance practices help charities achieve their mission and make a positive impact on the communities they serve. Should you require any advice on the charities governance, compliance or internal controls, please get in touch with a member of our team.

The Charities (Amendment) Act 2024 (“the Act”) was signed into law on 10 July 2024, setting the way for a stronger regulatory framework and responsible management of charitable organisations. The Act amends specific provisions of the Charities Act 2009, which will be implemented gradually. The amendments require a ministerial order to go into effect. Twelve sections of the Act came into force on 27 January 2025, while the rest await subsequent Commencement Orders. Key Provisions of the Act Definition of a charity trustee and trustees' duties and obligations The definition of a charity trustee has been updated. A company secretary is no longer automatically considered a charity trustee unless the same person is also a company director. Charity trustee registrations may need to be revised to reflect this change. Charities are now required to have a minimum of three trustees on their board/committee at all times. The Act specifies the key duties of charity trustees, providing greater clarity on their role in a charity. The trustees are required to act in the charity's best interest, maintain proper oversight of the charity's activities, and avoid conflicts of interest. Trustees must clearly understand the charity's financial position, ensuring funds are used appropriately to achieve the charity's objectives. The new definition of a "member of the charitable organisation" This definition applies to charities that are not registered as companies. Members are those who have the authority to appoint, nominate, or vote for the appointment of someone as a charity trustee. Charities should review their governing documents to determine who qualifies as a member under the new regulations. Financial Regulations New accounting regulations standardise financial reporting for all charities, with different requirements based on their size. The Act increases the income and expenditure threshold for charities that are not companies, allowing more of them to be exempt from the requirement to prepare a full statement of accounts. The threshold is raised from €100,000 to €250,000. Charities that are registered as companies, however, must continue to prepare financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2014. Additionally, the Amendment Act has increased the threshold for requiring an audit of charities’ financial statements.  As a result, smaller charities will face less stringent reporting requirements, while larger organisations will need to adhere to more comprehensive financial reporting standards.   The minister may set an audit exemption limit for income of no more than €1,000,000. Despite the higher limit allowed in the legislation, the minister is believed to set the limit at €500,000.  At the same time, the Revenue currently requires all entities with income of more than €250,000 to audit their financial statements in order to maintain their tax charitable status. Agreements and Appointments In certain circumstances, a charity may enter into paid agreements with charity trustees and members. A key factor that charities must consider is the requirement that remuneration for any such agreements be reasonable and proportionate to the service provided. Constitutional Amendments The 2024 Act now continues the Charities Regulator's recently adopted practice regarding the types of constitutional amendments that will require the Charities Regulator's approval. These include changes to a charity's name, objects, charitable purpose, income and property clause, and winding up clause. It is worth noting that a breach of this requirement will be an offense and may result in the charity being deregistered. Charities must include their charity status and registration number in all public documents. Mandatory Notifications The Act requires that written notification be submitted to the Charities Regulator in the following situations: The resignation or appointment of a charity trustee/director. A breach of any condition of the charity's registration. When information provided during the registration application or on the register of charities is no longer accurate. A proposal is in place for the charity to be wound up.   Annual Report The annual report is now referred to as an annual return, with the same filing obligations. Enhanced Powers for the Charities Regulator The new Act grants enhanced powers to the Charities Regulator. The regulator will now have more authority to conduct investigations, inspect records, and take necessary enforcement actions. The Charities Regulator will now have the power to freeze bank accounts, remove trustees, and impose financial penalties on charities that fail to comply with the new rules. Human Rights Human rights are added as a charitable purpose, allowing relevant organisations to register as charities. The Charities (Amendment) Act 2024 reflects a strong commitment to enhancing the charity sector in Ireland. The new Act emphasises greater transparency, accountability, and good governance to ensure that charities can continue to fulfil their essential role in Irish society. It is worth mentioning that the Charities Regulator has promised to develop guidance advising charities about the changes. Should you require any advice on the provisions of the 2024 Act, please get in touch with a member of our team.

If you’re an employer or employee in Ireland, there’s great news coming in 2025! The Small Benefit Exemption is increasing, allowing employees to receive more tax-free benefits each year. From 1st January 2025, the annual exemption will rise to €1,500, giving businesses and employees an opportunity to maximise savings and rewards without incurring tax liabilities. What is the Small Benefit Exemption? The Small Benefit Exemption allows employers to provide employees with vouchers or other non-cash benefits tax-free each year. This means that neither the employer nor the employee has to pay PAYE, PRSI, or USC on these benefits, making it a highly efficient way to reward staff. Under the updated rules: ·         Employees can receive up to 5 benefits per year , totalling up to €1,500 . ·         If more than 5 benefits  are given, only the first 5 qualify  for tax-free treatment. ·         The benefit must be in the form of a voucher or non-cash item  – it cannot be exchanged for cash . ·         Any unused allowance cannot be carried forward  to the following year. Why Should Employers Take Advantage of This? As an employer, offering tax-free benefits is a cost-effective way to reward employees while also improving retention and morale. Since these benefits are fully deductible as a business expense, companies can save on payroll costs while enhancing their employee benefits package. Using the full €1,500 exemption means employees receive the maximum value without any deductions, making it a much more attractive alternative to taxable bonuses or salary increases. How Can Employees Make the Most of It? If your employer offers the Small Benefit Exemption, be sure to use it before the end of the year – since any unused allowance cannot be carried forward. Whether it’s for shopping, travel, wellness, or dining, these tax-free benefits can make a significant difference to your take-home rewards.   The increase in the Small Benefit Exemption  from €1,000 to €1,500  in 2025 is a great opportunity for both employers and employees to maximise tax-efficient benefits. Employers should consider implementing a structured benefit scheme to ensure their staff can fully avail of this incentive. If you’re unsure how to integrate this into your company’s payroll and tax strategy, our team of experts can help! Get in touch today to ensure you’re making the most of this valuable tax-free benefit.

Your brand is fundamental to the success of your business. It is the personality of your organisation, the way you stand out from the crowd, the vision and the promise you present to the world. Every organisation, from Coca-Cola to your local supermarket, needs a positive and recognisable brand identity. That is just as true for businesses that serve other businesses (B2B) as it is for those that serve consumers. It was the recognition of the importance of a strong, modern looking visual identity that led to UHY International spending so much time recently on developing the fresh new UHY branding that we have today. You will notice the difference immediately on our website, logo, social media and more generally in the way we express ourselves online and in print, but the changes go deeper than that. A statement of our intent Essentially, our new branding is a statement of intent. UHY is and always has been a collaborative network of independent member firms. Our branding both develops and reflects that unity and makes the connection even more obvious, to our customers, our people and our partners. This unified approach adds to the sense of a network that works seamlessly to solve our clients’ challenges, by bringing all the myriad services and specialisms offered by UHY firms into a single accessible brand. It tells clients they can expect the same high level of service and technical expertise wherever in the world they engage a UHY member firm.  This unified brand approach gives a sense of quality and agility. Quality, because everyone in the organisation is working towards the same goal, which is maximising efficiency around the network. Agility, because as one unified organisation we are able to identify the relevant resources for every client and project quickly and easily. A single brand also gives clarity to clients. They can see that their relationship with a single UHY firm grants an entry point into a deep global service offering. That includes all their accountancy, tax and financial compliance needs and a range of specialised services around business advisory, cybersecurity and more. Most of all, it gives them reassurance when they access to our range of sophisticated cross-border services that UHY firms in all countries are operating under our strict quality criteria. Our new branding cements UHY’s position as a trusted advisor in all aspects of business activity, domestically and internationally. A sense of belonging A fresh, unifying brand also gives our global offices a sense of belonging. They are independent firms in their own right, but they are also part of a wider organisation. If their clients need cross-border advice, or a more specialised service, UHY firms know they can tap into a global network of expertise and experience. Again, that has always been true, but our new branding makes UHY’s fundamental USP – local relationships combined with global reach – even more compelling. Using our new brand guidelines, local teams will take ownership of that UHY vision, innovate with freedom and speak with a single voice when it comes to identifying new clients and supporting existing ones. It tells those clients that UHY can meet their needs today and in the future, wherever their ambition and talents take them. Those are considerable benefits, but a strong brand also comes with responsibilities. Every UHY colleague is aware that they represent our brand in everything they do. Wherever they are, and whatever their particular specialisms and areas of expertise, UHY members are brand ambassadors for the network as a whole. Using brand guidelines properly and consistently  plays an important role in this.  A lot of thought and planning has gone into the new brand. It gives a clear and appealing message about what we do, how we do it and the difference we make to our clients. It sends a positive signal about UHY’s values and ambitions for 2025 and beyond.

Dundalk, 12 February, 2025 – The highly anticipated ESG & Sustainability in Business event, hosted by Dundalk Chamber of Commerce at The Fairways Hotel on Wednesday, 12 February, proved to be a resounding success. With an impressive turnout of over 100 attendees, the event sparked valuable conversations, facilitated important networking opportunities, and fostered collaboration among business leaders and ESG industry experts. (Back row L – R): Francis Murphy (Dundalk Chamber), Conor McClenaghan (AIB), Michael O'Shea (PulseMarket), James Atherton (Wuxi Biologics Ireland), John McGeown (AIB), Donal Quinn (ENSO), James Stapleton (NSAI) (Front row L - R): Harriet Hodgson-Grove (UHY Hacker Young), Martina Gribben (UHY FDW), Hanna Laatio McDonnell (Dundalk Chamber), Mairéad Dennehy (NSAI), Denise O'Connor (Enerview Solutions) The event, sponsored by UHY FDW and AIB, featured a dynamic panel of discussions and thought-provoking keynote addresses focused on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices and their critical role in shaping a sustainable future. Attendees gained insight into essential topics such as corporate sustainability and ESG strategies, standards that can be used to support ESG reporting, and the latest reporting requirements under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). "It was incredible to see such a passionate and engaged group of professionals gathered here today to discuss sustainability in business," said Martina Gribben, Audit Director and Head of ESG and Sustainability at UHY FDW. "With 100 attendees from a wide range of industries, the event underscored the growing importance of ESG practices and how we can collectively work toward a more sustainable future." The event included keynote presentations from experts in the field, including representatives from AIB , UHY FDW , NSAI , ENSO , and Pulse Market . In addition, panel discussions, lead by MC Michael Bellew, Director at UHY FDW, with leaders from Wuxi Biologics , Enerview Solutions , Eco Energy Improvements and UHY Hacker & Young provided valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities businesses face as they implement sustainable practices. At the ESG event, speakers highlighted that while smaller businesses may not be directly impacted by the CSRD, they could still face indirect effects as part of a larger company’s supply chain. Many organisations required to report under CSRD will be seeking suppliers that can provide the necessary ESG data to meet their compliance obligations. This aspect, discussed during the event, highlighted that smaller businesses should begin preparing by understanding their environmental and social impacts, tracking relevant metrics, and aligning with sustainability standards. Proactively addressing these requirements will not only strengthen business relationships but also create new opportunities in an increasingly ESG-driven market. Following this impactful event, businesses should now focus on taking the next steps in their ESG journey. This includes assessing supply chain emissions, enhancing social responsibility initiatives, and strengthening governance frameworks. UHY FDW remains committed to supporting businesses in navigating these complexities and implementing effective ESG strategies.

The world of corporate reporting is undergoing a major transformation, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are now at the heart of financial and non-financial disclosures. In Ireland, businesses are increasingly required to integrate sustainability measures into their reporting processes due to evolving regulations such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) . While some companies see ESG reporting as a compliance burden, the reality is that it presents significant opportunities for business resilience, competitive advantage, and stakeholder confidence. Understanding CSRD and Its Impact on Irish Businesses What is CSRD and Why Does It Matter? The CSRD , which came into effect in January 2023, expands sustainability reporting requirements for businesses across the EU, including Ireland. It replaces the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and introduces more detailed reporting obligations aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) . Key changes under CSRD include: A broader scope, applying to large companies first and eventually to SMEs in the coming years. A requirement for third-party assurance (auditing) of ESG disclosures. Mandatory reporting on environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance structures. A stronger focus on how sustainability affects financial performance and vice versa. Many Irish businesses, particularly SMEs, may assume they are not affected by these new rules. However, ESG reporting has a ripple effect  throughout the supply chain, and businesses of all sizes will need to adapt. This blog series is designed to help Irish businesses navigate ESG reporting with confidence. Stay tuned for deeper dives into specific reporting requirements, value chain impacts, and practical implementation strategies  in upcoming articles. Stay tuned and start your ESG journey today!

As the deadline for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) payments approaches, it is essential for individuals, partnerships and sole traders in Ireland to ensure they are prepared. The key date for your diary is 31st January 2025 , the deadline for paying CGT on chargeable gains made during the period from 1st December to 31st December 2024 . If you have sold assets such as property, shares, or other investments and made a profit during this time, you may owe CGT. As your trusted advisors, we can guide you through what you need to do to stay compliant and avoid unnecessary penalties. What is Capital Gains Tax (CGT)? CGT is a tax on the profit (or "gain") made from the sale or disposal of certain assets. You are only taxed on the gain , not the entire amount you receive. For example, if you purchased an asset for €50,000 and sold it for €70,000, the gain subject to CGT would be €20,000. The current CGT rate in Ireland is 33% . However, there are various reliefs and exemptions available that can help reduce your liability.   When to Pay Your CGT For disposals made between: 1 January and 30 November (the initial period), you must pay CGT by 15 December of the same year and 1 December and 31 December (the later period), you must pay CGT by 31 January of the next year. For disposals made under a written contract, the time of disposal is usually the date of the contract. Key Exemptions and Reliefs Annual Exemption : Each individual is entitled to an annual CGT exemption of €1,270 . This means the first €1,270 of your gains in a year are tax-free. Principal Private Residence Relief : If you’re selling your main home, the gain is usually exempt from CGT, provided specific conditions are met. Entrepreneur Relief : This allows qualifying individuals to pay a reduced rate of 10%  on gains from the disposal of certain business assets, up to a lifetime limit of €1 million. Steps to Take Before the January Deadline Review Your Transactions : Identify any disposals made during the period 1st December to 31st December of the previous year. Calculate the gains or losses for each transaction. Apply Reliefs and Exemptions : Ensure you take full advantage of any applicable reliefs, such as the annual exemption or specific reliefs for certain asset types. File and Pay on Time : Use Revenue’s Online Service (ROS) to file and pay your CGT. Late payments can result in interest charges of 0.0219% per day , and penalties may also apply. Why Early Action Matters Leaving your CGT preparation until the last minute can lead to unnecessary stress and the risk of errors. Early planning allows you to: Fully evaluate potential reliefs. Ensure all documentation is in order. Avoid penalties or interest for late payments. Need Help? We’re Here for You CGT calculations can be complex, especially if you’re dealing with multiple transactions or intricate reliefs. Our team is here to help you navigate these complexities, ensuring your liabilities are accurately calculated and submitted on time. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need assistance or have any questions about your CGT obligations. Source: Revenue.ie

The liability date Local Property Tax (LPT), a charge arising from the ownership of a residential property in Ireland falls on 1 November each year. This means that if you owned a residential property on 1 November 2024, your property is liable for LPT for 2025. It is important to note that even if you sell or transfer your property between 1 November 2024, and 31 October 2025, you are still the liable individual for the LPT for 2025. What do you need to do? What actions you need to take for 2025 will depend on whether your property: was liable for LPT in 2024 or has become liable for LPT for the first time in 2025 You should have already valued your property and submitted your LPT return by 2 December 2024. If you have not yet filed your return, you should do so immediately.   Your payment options If you have previously paid your LPT by a non-recurring payment method, you need to make arrangements to pay your LPT for 2025. You will need to access your Revenue property record and choose your preferred payment method for 2025. If you are spreading your payments over 2025, you should have confirmed your payment method to Revenue by 2 December 2024. If you have not yet done so, you should do so immediately. Log into the LPT Portal to make, or arrange to make, your payment online. If you pay your LPT by Direct Debit or Annual Debit Instruction (ADI) and recently changed your banking provider, you should update your bank details for LPT. If you pay LPT by a recurring payment method, this will automatically be carried forward to 2025. Recurring payment methods include: Direct Debit (monthly or annual) Deduction at source from your: salary, wages or occupational pension Department of Social Protection payments Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine payments.   Payment date If you chose to pay your LPT charge by debit or credit card, your payment will have been processed on the date it was submitted. The date by which you need to pay your LPT charge depends on the payment option you choose when filing your return: January 2025  - phased payments start for deduction at source and regular cash payments through a payment service provider. 10 January 2025  - latest date for paying in full by cash (through a payment service provider), cheque, credit or debit card. 15 January 2025  - monthly direct debit payments start, and continue, on the 15th day of every month. 21 March 2025  - deduction date for ADI payment.   How to determine your LPT liability The LPT charge you incur is based on the valuation of your property as of 1 November 2021. This valuation not only determines your 2025 LPT charge but also remains applicable for subsequent years until any new valuations are carried out or changes to your property occur.   For more information, check out the official guide on Liability for LPT .
