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.

Getting this right protects cashflow, avoids interest and penalties, and builds confidence with contractors and agencies. READ MORE
  • Self Assessment survival guide - Self Assessment rarely sits at the top of anyone’s to-do list. Deadlines creep up, paperwork hides in inboxes and the rules change just enough to raise questions. This guide is here to make the job simpler. It sets out who needs to file, what to gather, how to complete the return and the steps to take to avoid penalties and interest. READ MORE
