Surrey accountancy firm TWP is calling on businesses that pay Corporation Tax to prepare for a rise in this tax on profits next year following the latest shift in the Government’s fiscal policy. Although original plans to increase the top rate of Corporation Tax to 25 per cent were initially shelved in September’s mini-Budget, they […]
Rapidly rising inflation has been pushing up the Bank of England’s (BoE) base rate at a historic pace in the last few months. The rate, set by the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), rose by 0.5 per cent in both August and September and currently sits at 2.25 per cent (at the time of writing). […]
During the mini-Budget, the former Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, plans to “accelerate” reforms to the pensions charge cap.
