Small Business Tax & Finance Update
In this month's update for SMEs:
- PM creates new "Budget board" for growth - Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has
moved to strengthen Labour’s grip
on economic policy by creating a
new “Budget board” that links senior
ministers, advisers, and business voices.
Meeting weekly, the board will coordinate
policies ahead of the Budget on 26
November to boost growth while
maintaining the confidence of businesses
and the City.
- Retail sales rise but outlook uncertain - Retail sales grew in August, helped by
record warm weather and a Bank of
England interest rate cut.
Retailers have, however, warned that
speculation over potential tax rises
could hit spending during the vital pre-Christmas trading season.
- UK firms cut jobs amid higher taxes - A Bank of England survey has shown
that UK businesses cut jobs this
summer at the fastest rate in four years,
highlighting the strain of higher taxes
on employers.
- HMRC intensifies scrutiny of R&D tax claims - HMRC has significantly increased
oversight of research and development
(R&D) tax relief, with errors in claims
totalling £441 million in 2023/24.
In 2024, one in five claims faced an
enquiry, compared with just one in 20
two years earlier.
