In this week's episode of The Tax Factor, Roger Holman and Neil Insull look at the quiet storm that is April's new tax landscape - changes may have been light in the Spring Statement, but the devil, as ever, is in the (Autumn Budget) detail. In Guernsey, the government has done the unthinkable: opened a tax drop-in centre where people can actually talk to someone. A bold move that feels very different from HMRC’s current approach. There is the curious case of Timothy Bunting v HMRC, where an initially successful taxpayer ended up losing not only the argument, but also his cash and his relief and finally a timely nudge: It’s a good time to review your ISA’s.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In 2024, Britain's faming communities marched to Westminster in protest against changes in the Autumn Budget to agricultural relief, which has been dubbed the 'family farm tax' or the 'tractor tax'.In a bid to bring more tax into the nation's coffers, chancellor Rachel Reeves' cut to APR will mean that from April 2026, a tax of 20 per cent will apply to agricultural assets over £1mn. Campaigners say this risks ringing the death knell for local farmers and the small businesses who rely on them. So, how can financial advisers help all those affected when it comes to tax planning? Joining FT Adviser editor Simoney Kyriakou is Tom Bradshaw, president of the National Farmers' Union and an arable farmer himself. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rachel Reeves is back to where she started after the Spring Statement, with her £9.9billion of budget headroom restored but at what cost. The Chancellor was true to her word and didn't turn this week's economic update into a second Budget, with no tax changes coming in. But a wave of spending cuts was announced, along with growth forecasts going both down and up. We also got the Office for Budget Responsibility's update on what Reeves' Autumn Budget tax rises will cost us, a threat to cash Isas and no reprieve for home buyers on stamp duty. On this podcast episode, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert dive into the Spring Statement to explain why it happened, what it means and tackle the question of whether taxes are going to have to rise again in autumn. They look at the very important assumption being made by the OBR, which if it turns out to be wrong could mean there is a £48billion black hole in the sums. And is the entire thing a charade anyway and damaging to our future prospects? Simon explains why he thinks so. Finally, campaigners like Gary Stevenson claim this could all be solved with a wealth tax - is that where we will eventually end up?
Rachel Reeves kept her promise with no tax changes in yesterday's Spring Statement. With expectations low, Richard Hattersley recaps the key takeaways, including the eight consultations and policy papers released and looks ahead to what the Autumn Budget might bring. One of the policy papers released confirmed that sole traders and landlords with incomes of more than £20k would be pulled into the system by 2028. Tom Herbert explains what this means and why Reeves didn't mention MTD in the Spring Statement. Matthew Ord shifts focus from the Spring Statement to HURST, an accounting and business advisory firm with big growth plans. He recalls his chat with managing partner Tim Potter on their strategy, recruitment challenges and tech investments.
The energy regulator Ofgem says suppliers must take urgent action to find out how widespread a problem back billing is. It's when suppliers send out new bills for electricity and gas from longer than 12 months ago, a practice that was banned in 2018. The development follows Money Box's investigation which discovered thousands of people have wrongly been receiving back bills. Paul Lewis interviews Tim Jarvis, Director General of Markets at Ofgem.And unspent pension pots will be subject to inheritance tax from 2027. This change, announced by Rachel Reeves in the Autumn Budget, means most unused pension funds will be included within the value of a person's estate for Inheritance Tax purposes from 6th April 2027. Money Box has been getting lots of emails from listeners who're now reconsidering their financial planning and are worried and upset about the new rules. The Treasury told us it continues to incentivise pensions savings for their intended purpose of funding retirement instead of them being openly used as a vehicle to transfer wealth. But how will the new rules work?Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporters: Dan Whitworth and Sarah Rogers Researcher: Eimear Devlin Editor: Jess Quayle(First broadcast 12pm Saturday 22nd February 2025)
Rachel Reeves is due to deliver her Spring Statement next week and it's probably safe to say this isn't the position she wanted to be in. After an Autumn Budget that raised spending and hiked taxes while locking the Chancellor in with a new fiscal rule, Reeves would have hoped to arrive in March with better news on the economy. Instead, Labour's not-a-tax-on-working-people national insurance hike on employers has backfired, at the same time as the growth forecasts have taken a downturn and borrowing costs have risen. So, what will the Chancellor do next week? Will she tweak her own fiscal rule, raise taxes again or cut spending in unprotected areas that are already suffering? As Rachel Reeves finds herself between a rock and a hard place, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert look at what could happen in this podcast. Plus, what does the Bank of England holding rates and the potential future path mean for your savings and mortgage? What should you do to sort your Isa and pension now? Can you really give away £1million a year and dodge inheritance tax? And finally, the question that anyone like Simon who racks up the odd foreign traffic infraction needs answered, if you get a holiday parking fine, do you have to pay it?
With tax year-end fast approaching, what key planning opportunities should advisers focus on?

New HTA president Will Armitage started his career at The Barton Grange Group at Woodford Garden Centre before joining family business Armitage & Sons (Seeds) where he eventually became joint managing director.He was chair of the Garden Centre Association from 2014 to 2016 and says the big difference between now and then are the costs of employing people, which have risen 10% again he believes thanks to the Autumn Budget's changes to National Living Wage and employers' National Insurance Contributions. This means the industry will struggle to grow and could mean price rises, he says.Armitage has been on both sides of the fence, with supplier Mulch and running garden centres. His former Pennine centre has since been owned by Wyevale and now Dobbies has it for sale and Armitage says the private equity sale and leaseback model is proving to be unsustainable.He looks forward to a better weather year, with high hopes for 2025 helped by more industry Business Improvement Schemes and increased lobbying at Westminster.

From corridor care to staff morale, winter is never an easy time for the NHS. But what is it like for staff working in urgent and emergency care during this time of year, and has it always been this way? Ruth Robertson is joined by Kelly Ameneshoa, Emergency Medicine Doctor, and Charlotte Wickens, Policy Advisor, to find out. They discuss how winter impacts patient care, what could make this winter different to others and what the first few months of a Labour Government might tell us about its approach moving forward.

Inflation's spell below the Bank of England's 2 per cent target has been brief and the latest CPI figure came in at a higher than expected 2.3 per cent. Meanwhile, Bank of England boss Andrew Bailey has joined the Office of Budget Responsibility in stating that the recent Autumn Budget is likely to lift inflation, as employers face higher costs from national insurance and the rising minimum wage. On the other side of the Atlantic, President-elect Donald Trump is seen as bringing his own inflationary pressure, which could spread from the US to the rest of the world. So what does this mean for interest rates? Are cuts about to stall - and what happens next for borrowers and savers? On this week's podcast, Georgie Frost, Helen Crane and Simon Lambert, talk inflation, rates, mortgages and savings. The team also look at whether those needing to get a mortgage now should fix for two or five years. Plus, why the row over inheritance tax and farmers is symptomatic of Britain's bad tax system - and Simon's plan for a trade-off on IHT-free land. Crane goes on the case of money refunded ffor a faulty coffee machine much later to an empty gift voucher that had understandably gone in the bin. And finally, the listener question of the week is up and running, and it's one on sticking it to the man and having enough money to quit work for good.
This week, Head of Private Client John Bull joins Rob Goodley to talk about what a Trump presidency is likely to mean for the UK.

In this episode, we dive deep into the UK's 2024 Autumn Budget, a pivotal moment in British history. With Labour delivering their first budget in 14 years and the first female Chancellor leading the charge, there's a lot to unpack. We discuss the £22 billion black hole in the nation's finances, the biggest tax shake-up in a generation, and Labour's promise to avoid raising taxes on working people—meaning no increases in VAT, National Insurance, or Income Tax. But what does this really mean for businesses and entrepreneurs? How will these changes impact the UK economy, and more importantly, how do we address the growing debt crisis?

The UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, has delivered the Autumn Budget 2024. In the first Budget delivered by the Labour Party since 2010, Reeves announced an extensive array of tax reforms designed to 'stabilise' public finances and facilitate increased government spending. Altogether, tax rises totalling £40 billion were announced - some expected, others less so. In our latest podcast Peter Clements, Sarah Bond, Rose Swaffield, Josh Critchlow and Chris Gotch from our London tax team discuss the tax measures they found the most noteworthy in the Autumn Budget 2024, including: Headline Budget announcements, including: increases in the capital gains tax (CGT) main rates and reforms to business asset disposal relief and investors' relief, accompanied by anti-forestalling measures; an increase in employer National Insurance contributions by 1.2% from April 2025; and an increase in the CGT rates for carried interest from April 2025, with more significant reforms expected to follow; Publication of the Corporate Tax Roadmap designed to provide stability for businesses and foster inward investment, including: capping the headline UK corporation tax rate at 25%; confirmation the permanent 'full expensing' capital allowance regime and existing R&D reliefs will be retained; and plans to provide increased tax certainty to investors in major projects; Measures designed to 'close the tax gap', including: an increase in the interest rate for unpaid tax; targeted anti-avoidance measures applying with immediate effect; and the recruitment of additional HMRC compliance and debt management staff; and Other changes to the UK's tax code, including: confirmation the UK will introduce the Pillar Two undertaxed profits rule (the 'UTPR') for accounting periods from January 2025, along with the related repeal of the offshore receipts in respect of intangible property (or 'ORIP') rules; the replacement of the remittance basis of taxation for non-UK domiciled individuals ('non-doms') with a new residence-based regime; and confirmation of increases to the rate and duration of the Energy Profits Levy and the removal of the associated investment allowance.

2024 Autumn Budget In their Fiscal Risks and Sustainability Report the Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) baseline projection had debt to GDP rising to over 270% of GDP within the next 50 years: a level higher than the World War II peak and Japan's elevated levels.
