  Spring Bud­get 2023 – key tax po­li­cy an­noun­ce­ments

  Today’s Spring Budget speech focused on moving the UK economy into growth mode. With the increase in the main rate of corporation tax to 25% on the horizon and fast-approaching, the Chancellor turned to reliefs rather than rate cuts to demonstrate his commitment to incentivising investment in the UK. For most businesses, the “headline” announcement in this area will have been the introduction of a generous full-expensing regime for capital allowances, but other important measures include the permanent increase to the Annual Investment Allowance, reforms to Research & Development...

  Au­tumn State­ment: Loo­king bey­ond the head­line ra­tes to un­der­stand the com­ple­xi­ty im­po­sed on in­di­vi­du­al tax­pay­ers

  Au­tumn State­ment 2022 – Key tax high­lights

  Today’s Autumn Statement was aimed at tackling the cost of living crisis and rebuilding the economy, in the context of an acknowledgment by the Chancellor that the UK is in recession. Clearly, the tax policies announced stand in stark contrast to September’s tax cutting mini budget – the majority of which (as explained below) has now been abandoned. Although the Chancellor reiterated that he was behind his predecessor’s commitment to growth, this was only one among three key pillars of equal importance: growth, stability and innovation. The tax policies announced today appear...

  The Growth Plan 2022: dri­ving growth via tax cuts and in­vest­ment in­cen­ti­ves

  A rose by any other name would smell as sweet – and the same could be said for certain taxpayers and would-be investors listening to what was perhaps, in all but name, a Budget this morning. Given the unusual timing and the lack of the usual accompanying technical papers, the government instead chose to gather this morning’s announcements under the title “Growth Plan 2022”, reflecting the current cabinet’s agenda to stimulate growth via tax cuts and investment incentives rather than (perhaps more traditionally) increasing public revenue via raising taxes and reducing...
