Effective planning is not just about reducing your future inheritance tax (IHT) bill. It is also about making sure the people you leave behind have the funds and information they need to deal with your estate without the burden of complex paperwork, unexpected tax liabilities and difficult financial decisions adding to their grief. Taking steps now also helps prevent valuable assets – such as a home, business or farm – from having to be sold to meet an inheritance tax bill. Having a plan in place protects your wealth and gives your family peace of mind when they need it most. Who pays IHT and how? IHT is a liability of your estate when you die. It’s not a tax on your beneficiaries, but it does come out of their inheritance before they receive it, so in an economic sense they do bear the cost. Inheritance Tax is paid by your personal representatives (executors or administrators) out of your estate's assets before the rest is distributed, and it’s charged at a standard rate of 40% based on the market value of assets at the date of death (different rates apply to charitable gifts and trusts). IHT must generally be paid by the end of the sixth month after your death. Interest starts accruing from that date, even if probate hasn't been granted and your personal representatives can't access your bank accounts or sell the home in time to pay the tax. What does my estate include? The estate is everything...

For many business owners, one of the most important decisions they'll ever make isn't how they build their business, but their succession plan for how they’ll eventually step away from it. Whether you're approaching retirement, working out hot to sell your business, or looking to realise the value you've created over many years, choosing the right business exit strategy is crucial. The challenge is often balancing commercial objectives with something equally important: protecting the future of the business, its people and its legacy. While trade sales and private equity investment are well-known ways to exit a business, a management buyout (MBO) can offer a compelling alternative. By transferring ownership to an existing management team, an MBO can provide a combination of value realisation, operational continuity and transaction certainty that’s difficult to replicate through other exit routes. An MBO involves the management team acquiring the company, or a controlling interest in it, from the existing shareholders. For businesses with a capable leadership team already driving day-to-day operations, it can be an effective way to secure succession, reward key individuals and ensure the culture and direction of the business are preserved. In this guide, we explore how MBOs work, how they're typically funded, the key valuation and tax considerations, and the factors business owners should assess when deciding whether an MBO is the right path forward. WHY CONSIDER AN Management Buyout? An MBO can be particularly appealing where there’s a strong management team already capable of running the business without the exiting...

Monthly reporting was designed for a business world that moved much more slowly than today's environment. It evolved in an era when transactions were processed manually, information travelled slowly, and markets changed gradually. This world no longer exists. Customers buy online instantly, prices update daily, and cash moves in and out of bank accounts within minutes. Leaders are expected to make decisions continuously – month end is too late. Automated systems mean that finance data can now be updated in real time, yet many businesses still rely on a reporting cycle designed for a different era. Waiting for month end has a hidden cost – decisions are being made based on information that is already out of date. Why monthly reporting is too late The hidden cost is the delay between an event and your response. Let’s say the month-end report shows sales have fallen by 10%. If the problem started in the first week of the month and those accounts are reviewed during the second week of the following month, you could be reacting six weeks after the issue first emerged. In a slower-moving business environment this delay was manageable. Today, it can be the difference between protecting profitability or solving a cash flow issue before it needs emergency funding. Month-end reports tell you a problem happened. The challenge is that by the time you see the issue, you may have lost the ability to influence the outcome. What impact does month end reporting have on my business? When...

Reality: most still go it alone. Many SME leaders pride themselves on being self-sufficient. They back their judgement. They know their business inside out. And in the early stages, that's often exactly what's needed. But as businesses grow, complexity grows with them. Decisions become bigger. Investment carries greater consequence. Innovation becomes more difficult to separate from funding, cashflow, people, and long-term strategy. Yet many businesses continue to navigate these challenges largely alone. Research suggests the businesses pursuing the most ambitious forms of innovation are often the least likely to rely solely on internal knowledge. Instead, they're the ones most willing to seek external advice and challenge their own assumptions. ¹ At TC Group, technology businesses come to us when they need a sounding board. A team of advisors who can help them make informed, confident decisions about where to focus, when to invest, and how to scale sustainably. These businesses are also thinking ahead. They're considering how growth or change impacts their people, their structure, and the long-term resilience of the business. No two organisations are the same, of course, but there’s a common theme. The most successful leaders don't assume they have all the answers. They know when to draw on the expertise of others. WHY EXTERNAL PERSPECTIVE MATTERS External advice is sometimes seen as a safety net, but in reality, it can be a growth lever. There's a growing body of evidence showing that SMEs who access advice often perform more effectively; not just in terms of stability,...

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 99. 85% of all private sector businesses in the UK. Yet when discussions turn to Artificial Intelligence (AI), many business owners still assume that the real investment and opportunity sit with large corporates that have vast budgets, dedicated IT teams and sophisticated technology platforms. The reality is very different. Today, the AI tools available to an SME are often the same tools available to a multinational organisation. Whether it's Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT or another AI platform, access to the technology itself is no longer the barrier it once was. The real differentiator is not the AI tool. It's the infrastructure behind it. This aligns with findings from our recent Success Without Stillness research, which surveyed 1,500 UK SME leaders. The research found that 47% are more cautious than they were in the past, but they are far from standing still. Instead, they're choosing their risks carefully, with AI, automation and technology among their top investment priorities. The businesses making the greatest progress are not necessarily investing the most, they're investing strategically in the foundations that enable innovation to succeed. Using AI Is Not the Same as Investing in AI Many businesses believe they have already invested in AI because staff use it to draft emails, summarise meetings or create social media content. Whilst these uses can provide valuable productivity gains, they only scratch the surface of what AI can offer. Buying an AI licence is not the same as building AI capability. The...

Building Business Resilience Ahead of the Autumn Budget The 2026 Autumn Budget, scheduled for Wednesday 28 October, marks the first major Budget under Prime Minister Andy Burnham's administration. For business owners already navigating rising costs, economic uncertainty and significant employment reforms, it could prove to be one of the most important fiscal events of the year. While speculation continues around tax reform, one thing is clear: successful businesses won't wait until Budget Day to start planning. At TC Group, our recent thought leadership research, Success Without Stillness: Leadership in Motion, found that business leaders are increasingly making decisions without complete certainty. The most resilient organisations aren't those that predict every change correctly. They're the ones that can adapt quickly while staying focused on their long-term goals. Six in ten leaders (60%) say clear strategy and business planning are their greatest sources of resilience, even as planning horizons become shorter and change becomes more frequent. This year's Budget presents another opportunity to do exactly that. CHANCELLOR PLEDGES TO MAKE BRITAIN A "GROWTH BRITAIN" Speaking ahead of the Budget, Chancellor John Healey set out the government's ambition to make Great Britain "growth Britain again" by strengthening the country's economic growth trajectory. Acknowledging the pressure many businesses face from rising energy costs, wage inflation and ongoing economic uncertainty, the Chancellor argued that growth remains the most effective way to combat increasing costs for both businesses and the public. The Chancellor reaffirmed the government's commitment to: Fiscal discipline Controlling borrowing Reducing inflationary pressures Building...

It's reassuring to know that whenever we need expertise, there's somebody there who can help. " Steve Lane, Interim Chief Executive, Wadars Animal Rescue Wadars (Worthing & District Animal Rescue Service) is a long-established animal welfare charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing animals across Sussex. Interim Chief Executive Steve Lane joined the organisation in December, to provide stability while the charity prepared to recruit a permanent successor. However, after reviewing the charity's operations, a much larger opportunity emerged. "I came in to guide the charity through a difficult period, but very quickly my brief changed. We began looking seriously at how Wadars could become more sustainable for the future. " STRENGTHENING FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY FOR THE CHARITY Like many charities in the sector, Wadars had become heavily reliant on unpredictable legacy income. Guided by Steve, the Board made the decision to relocate to a more suitable location. The move would create opportunities for growth while helping secure the charity's long-term future. Far from just being a relocation, the new site would enable Wadars to modernise operational systems, build fundraising capability, and develop plans for future growth. As Steve explains: "My goal is to see the charity into the new site, secure planning permission, rebuild, get the operation fully functioning again and put Wadars back onto a sustainable financial footing. " TRUSTED...

Finance function is whatever finance looks like in your business today. And, as the business has expanded, that may have grown from basic bookkeeping to compliance, forecasting and strategic decision-making. But if finance processes fail to keep pace with business growth, systems become stretched, reporting gets delayed and valuable insight is lost. When the finance function is ineffective you lose confidence in the figures. An increasing number of businesses are finding that outsourcing their finance function to an accountant helps restore clarity and control. WHAT DOES AN INEFFECTIVE FINANCE FUNCTION MEAN FOR MY BUSINESS? An ineffective finance function: Struggles to provide timely, accurate and meaningful financial information to support decision-making Is reactive – teams spend their time resolving issues, correcting errors and dealing with urgent problems, rather than providing strategic support Creates uncertainty – business owners and management teams lack the visibility they need to move forward with confidence THE RED FLAGS BUSINESS OWNERS SHOULDN'T IGNORE Management reporting takes too long – decisions are made using outdated information Cash shortages – delayed invoicing, weak credit control or poor visibility over future requirements leads to cash flow pressures Rising debtor days – customers take too long to pay, collections are reactive Strained supplier relationships – late or inconsistent payments impact service levels Compliance deadlines are slipping – year-end accounts, tax filings and other regulatory requirements become increasingly difficult to manage Finance admin spills into operations – bookkeeping tasks fall back to leaders who should be focused on growth and strategy Critical...

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU STEPPED AWAY FROM YOUR BUSINESS TOMORROW? For many business leaders, that's not an easy question to answer. While countless organisations rely heavily on the vision, expertise and decision-making of their owners, that dependence can create significant challenges for growth, resilience and long-term value. Our research shows that more than half of business leaders believe their business could not operate effectively for more than six months without them, while only a small proportion feel fully in control. The reality is that building a business that can thrive without constant owner involvement isn't about preparing to leave. It's about creating a stronger organisation today. In our upcoming webinar, Building a Business That Doesn't Depend on You, our panel of specialists will explore how business owners can reduce key-person reliance, strengthen leadership capability, improve continuity, and create greater flexibility for the future.

When people talk about innovation, the conversation often jumps straight to ‘cutting-edge technology’ and ‘breakthroughs’... But when it comes to tax, particularly R&D tax relief, innovation can look very different. It’s not always flashy. It’s not always jaw-dropping. It’s not always labelled as ‘innovation’. In fact, it often hides in plain sight, embedded into the everyday problem-solving, product development, system improvements, and technical work that businesses see simply describe as: it’s just what we do. Understanding that distinction’s becoming increasingly important. Research & Development doesn’t have to be revolutionary One of the most common misconceptions around R&D tax relief is that innovation must be groundbreaking or unique on a global scale. Mind-blowing. Unbelievable. Out of this world. In reality, HMRC’s definition’s far more grounded. Innovation, in this context, is about ‘resolving scientific or technological uncertainty’, where a competent professional cannot readily achieve the desired outcome using existing knowledge or solutions. And that uncertainty can exist even if the end product looks familiar or incremental. At TC Group, through conversation with our clients, we increasingly see this play out through: The transition from pilot projects to commercially viable, scalable solutions Software or systems being adapted to work in new or complex environments Data, infrastructure or integration challenges that don’t have off‑the‑shelf answers To a technical team, this often feels like operational problem‑solving. To a tax professional, it can represent qualifying R&D. Innovation’s rarely confined to a single innovation project. Instead, it’s woven through how technology businesses build, test, improve and scale,...

Why work performed for an overseas group audit doesn’t automatically satisfy UK statutory audit requirements, and how early coordination can reduce duplication When an international group operates through a UK subsidiary, it’s easy to assume that audit work performed for the parent company’s group auditor will also satisfy the UK entity’s local audit requirements. It may not. What appears to be one audit process can involve two related but separate workstreams, driven by local laws, financial reporting standards and the overseas group context. A UK statutory audit required by UK law for the subsidiary's own financial statements Group reporting performed for the overseas group audit Each has its own purpose, scope and reporting requirements. Understanding the distinction early can help international groups avoid late surprises, create a more coordinated approach to UK compliance and financial reporting, and make appropriate use of common audit evidence – without confusing the separate objectives of the two requirements. A UK statutory audit is not the same as group reporting A group audit is the audit of group financial statements. Under ISA (UK) 600, the group auditor determines the overall group audit approach and may involve component auditors to perform audit work at particular entities or business units for the purposes of the group audit. Where component auditors are involved, they form part of the engagement team for the group audit. Their work helps the group auditor obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the group audit opinion. The group auditor remains responsible...

Many business owners are naturally focussed on making decisions that support their business’ long-term goals, but approaches to business strategy are adapting to a landscape with multiple futures. Our research into how UK business leaders are navigating uncertainty found that 39% of business owners can only plan a quarter ahead, and 42% can only plan a year ahead. At the same time, 72% feel confident their business could survive another major disruption. Put together, those numbers show that multiple-scenario planning isn't a sign of fear. It's an extension of the resilience SME leaders have already built. Why single-plan thinking is dying out A single fixed plan can feel reassuring. It gives a clear number to aim for and a clear story to tell the board, the bank or the team. But in a market where costs, demand, regulation, staffing and client behaviour can shift within a quarter, that fixed plan can quickly become outdated. The risk isn't just that the plan goes wrong. It's that the comfort of having a plan creates false confidence, leaving a business slower to react when conditions move and the original numbers no longer hold. From prediction to preparedness One of the clearest examples of this shift in thinking came from a business leader who described how their planning conversations have changed: "We're now saying to our board – here's a plan for 100% of that coming in. Here's a plan for 80% of it coming in. What's the plan if 20% of it comes...

From 30 September 2026, the charity income threshold requiring a statutory audit will increase from £1 million to £1. 5 million, with consequential changes to the asset tests and independent examination thresholds. For charities, the question is no longer simply ‘Do we need an audit? ’ but rather ’Should we continue to have one? ’. The answer's different for every charity and will require careful consideration. WHAT ARE THE CHANGES TO CHARITY THRESHOLDS? The principal changes for charities in England and Wales include: Current Threshold New Threshold (financial years ending on or after from 30 September 2026) Mandatory audit income threshold: £1m £1. 5m Asset test: income over £250k and assets over £3. 26m Income over £500k and assets over £5m Independent examination threshold: £25k £40k Qualified independent examiner threshold: £250k £500k Group accounts threshold: £1m £1. 5m These changes are intended to reflect inflation and reduce administrative burdens on smaller and medium-sized charities. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR CHARITIES? Many charities with incomes between £1 million and £1. 5 million that currently require an audit will, for the first time, be able to opt for an independent examination instead. This would provide a review of the accounts rather than a full audit, offering assurance that financial records have been properly maintained and that the accounts appear consistent with those records. For some organisations this could result in: Lower professional fees Less disruption to finance teams A shorter year-end process Reduced trustee administration However, while the statutory requirement may disappear,...

Farmers and growers who invest in water-saving technologies and projects could be eligible for between £2,000 and £50,000. The Agriculture Water Resilience Grant is designed to encourage agricultural businesses and horticultural growers to make more efficient use of water resources and adapt to future water challenges. The business benefits of investing in infrastructure Farming enterprises across East Anglia have already experienced the impact of prolonged dry periods, changing weather patterns and depletion of water resources. This funding represents a valuable opportunity for businesses in one of the driest regions of the UK to invest in infrastructure and technology that may otherwise be difficult to justify solely from operational budgets. Businesses that invest now in water-saving technologies and improved management systems should be better positioned to withstand future drought conditions, while also reducing operational costs and improving environmental performance. WHAT projectS qualify for a water resilience grant? Funding is available for a wide range of projects, from established technologies to innovative and bespoke solutions tailored to the specific needs of your individual business. Examples of projects that could qualify include rainwater harvesting system, precision irrigation technology, drip & trickle irrigation and soil moisture monitoring equipment. Water storage and distribution improvements, along with water reuse and recycling systems, plus waste management solutions are also eligible. How to meet the award criteria The programme is keen to support new approaches and innovative projects that demonstrate potential to improve water resilience and sustainability across the sector.

Most business owners will not lose sleep over accounting standards. But the UK GAAP changes introduced in 2026 are worth paying attention to. If your business reports under FRS 102, the amendments could change how revenue is recognised, how leases appear in the accounts and what small companies need to disclose. That may sound like an accounting issue. In practice, it can become a business issue quite quickly. Why? Because the underlying business may not have changed, but the numbers people use to assess it might. Profit, EBITDA, debt, reserves and financial ratios could all look different. That matters if your bank, shareholders, future buyer or tax adviser is relying on those figures. So, the question for business owners is not just “what is changing? ” It is “what could this mean for my business before the accounts are signed? ” Below, we explain the key changes and steps you can take to ensure your business complies with the 2026 FRS102 amendments. WHAT IS CHANGING UNDER UK GAAP? For those businesses reporting under FRS 102, the amendments introduce: A new five-step model for revenue recognition based on IFRS 15 New lease accounting rules broadly aligned with IFRS 16 Additional disclosure requirements for some businesses Updates affecting tax disclosures, related parties, business combinations and other reporting areas The amendments to UK GAAP apply for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. For many companies, the first affected accounts may not be prepared until 2027, but the transition date could...

It’s easy to assume that many UK subsidiaries will qualify for audit exemption. If the UK entity has modest annual turnover, few employees and relatively few assets, a UK audit may seem unnecessary. For international groups, however, UK audit requirements are not determined by UK subsidiaries’ figures alone. This article explains how the small companies regime, worldwide group test and alternative exemptions apply. Under the Companies Act 2006, the size and eligibility of the whole worldwide group can be as important as UK subsidiaries themselves. Getting this wrong can lead to an unexpected statutory audit and missed Companies House deadlines. The key question: is the UK company part of a wider group? A standalone UK company may qualify for audit exemption if it meets the criteria. Where it is a subsidiary company within a larger international group, the assessment has two layers: The UK company must qualify as small. The worldwide group must also qualify as small and meet the relevant eligibility requirements. If the worldwide group exceeds the thresholds, UK subsidiaries may require an audit even where their financial statements show modest activity. The common misconception “The UK subsidiary is small, so it does not need an audit” is not always correct. The Companies Act 2006 starts from the position that annual accounts must be audited unless an exemption from audit applies. The main routes are: The small-companies audit exemption for a standalone company. Audit exemption for a small member of a small and eligible worldwide group. The subsidiary...

Beyond compliance: the value of an audit For many business owners, audit exemption feels like an obvious cost saving. If the law no longer requires a company audit, why continue with one? It's a fair question. Recent changes to UK company size thresholds mean more businesses may now qualify for audit exemption, potentially reducing their compliance obligations. But while the decision may appear straightforward on paper, it's worth looking beyond the legal requirement and considering what value an audit provides. At a time when businesses are facing economic uncertainty, increased stakeholder scrutiny and growing governance expectations, many directors, shareholders and investors continue to see value in independent assurance over their financial statements. The real question isn't: "Can we stop having an audit? " It's: "Would our business benefit from continuing to have one? " What is audit exemption? Under the Companies Act 2006, many UK companies can claim audit exemption, meaning they aren't legally required to have their annual financial statements examined through a statutory audit. For accounting periods starting on or after 6 April 2025, a company will generally qualify for a small company audit exemption if it meets at least two of the following criteria during the financial year: Annual turnover of no more than £15 million Gross assets (also referred to as balance sheet total) of no more than £7. 5 million 50 or fewer employees on average Certain companies remain subject to audit requirements regardless of size, including some regulated businesses, public companies and companies operating...

Independent schools are facing growing financial pressures, changing regulatory requirements, rising operational costs and increasing competition for pupil recruitment. Against this backdrop, effective working relationships between governors and senior leadership teams have become critical to ensuring strong governance, financial sustainability, regulatory compliance and long-term school success. Why Strong Relationships Between Governors and Senior Leaders Matter The relationship between governors and senior leaders is one of the most important factors influencing the success of a school. Governors are responsible for holding leadership to account, overseeing strategy and ensuring the school's resources are being used effectively. At the same time, senior leaders need the autonomy and trust to manage the school, lead staff and respond to operational challenges. When this relationship works well, it creates: Better strategic decision-making Stronger financial oversight More effective risk management Greater accountability Improved organisational resilience Effective governance isn't about governors running the school. It's about asking the right questions, understanding the key risks and opportunities facing the school, and supporting leaders to make informed decisions. THE Challenges Facing Independent Schools Governors are currently overseeing schools at a time of significant uncertainty and transformation. Key challenges include: Financial strain from rising costs and VAT Falling or volatile pupil numbers Increased regulatory expectations Workforce and recruitment challenges Growing competition for pupils Broader economic and political uncertainty These challenges aren't simply operational or financial. They're leadership challenges. Today's governors and senior leadership teams are expected to remain clear-headed while navigating uncertainty, confident while carrying greater responsibility and accountable for outcomes...

Independent schools are operating in an increasingly complex financial environment. Rising operational costs, economic uncertainty, changing parental affordability, increased competition and the introduction of VAT on school fees are creating significant pressure across the sector. As a result, understanding independent school financial health has become one of the most important responsibilities for governing bodies. Read our blog below on effective working between senior management and governors to gain insight on how schools can work towards long-term success. READ OUR BLOG Why Is Independent School Financial Health Important for Governors? For independent school governors, maintaining strong financial oversight has never been more important. Financial challenges are no longer isolated to finance committees or bursars; they affect every strategic decision a governing board makes. From pupil recruitment and staffing levels to capital investment and long-term sustainability, financial performance underpins a school's ability to deliver its educational vision. The challenge facing governors is that today's decisions must often be made in conditions of uncertainty. Rising costs, fluctuating enrolment numbers and changing market dynamics mean schools can no longer rely on historic performance as a guide to future success. Without a clear understanding of financial health, governing bodies risk overlooking emerging challenges, reacting too late to financial pressures or making decisions that weaken long-term sustainability. The solution is effective financial oversight supported by meaningful data, robust challenge, scenario planning, and a clear understanding of the key performance indicators that drive school performance. Good governance isn't about creating certainty in an uncertain world. It's about...

If you can’t pay your tax bill on time, the most important steps are to act early, understand the risks, and contact HMRC before the debt grows. WHY IS MY TAX BILL UNEXPECTEDLY HIGH? There are all sorts of reasons you might find yourself unable to pay your tax bill in full. An increase in income that seemed like a fantastic bonus at the time could actually have unforeseen tax implications. If you’re earning additional cash via a side hustle, trading on sites such as eBay or Etsy, and your extra income exceeds £1,000 pa, you must register for Self Assessment and declare your earnings - even if you have a full-time job paid through PAYE. Side hustles can potentially tip you into a higher tax bracket or generate a larger tax liability than you expected. If you’re self-employed and have enjoyed a particularly good second half of the year while your costs have remained same, your higher earnings will come with a higher tax bill. Even if you pay twice yearly on account, your payments might not cover the new amount. Even when you know a tax bill is coming, rising living costs, reduced work or job loss, illness or unexpected family care commitments can sometimes leave too little cash available when payment for last year’s bill becomes due. What happens if I miss HMRC’s payment deadline? If you don’t pay your bill on time, interest (currently 7. 75% pa) is applied immediately and calculated daily until the whole...

How Financially Resilient Are You? When most people buy a home, their focus is understandably on getting the keys, securing the right mortgage and making the numbers work. But far fewer stop to consider a different question: what would happen if illness, injury or redundancy affected their ability to keep up with their mortgage repayments and household bills? Financial resilience isn't about expecting the worst. It's about being prepared for life's uncertainties and having a plan in place if circumstances change. Just as we insure our homes and cars, it's worth considering how we protect our income, our family and our financial future. As a mortgage advisor, I often speak to homeowners who have carefully planned how to buy a property but haven't thought about how they would manage financially if their income suddenly stopped. Building financial resilience starts with understanding the risks and knowing what options are available to help protect you. CHALLENGES TO YOUR FINANCIAL RESILIENCE How much is sick pay? One of the first things to understand is what support would be available if illness or injury prevented you from working. While some employers offer enhanced sick pay schemes, others provide statutory sick pay only. Knowing how long your employer will continue paying you, and how much you would receive, is an important starting point. Statutory sick pay is currently £123. 25 per week for up to 28 weeks (https://www. gov. uk/statutory-sick-pay). For many people, that wouldn't come close to covering mortgage repayments, household bills and other...

Why Business Planning Can't Wait for Certainty A new Prime Minister. A new Chancellor. And the prospect of further tax change at a time when many businesses are already navigating an increasingly complex and uncertain environment. With the Autumn Budget now confirmed for Wednesday 28 October, discussion around inheritance tax (IHT), business reliefs, wealth taxation, investment incentives and wider fiscal measures is only likely to gain momentum. Business owners are once again being presented with a long list of potential policy changes and accompanying headlines. Some proposals may become reality. Others may not. Equally, business owners are already adapting to significant tax changes announced in recent years, particularly around succession planning and the future availability of reliefs. It’s therefore understandable that many are asking what could come next from Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his new Chancellor, John Healey, and what the upcoming Autumn Budget might mean for them. What’s certain is that tax change can have a real impact on businesses, business owners and families. Decisions around investment, growth, succession planning and long-term wealth preservation can all be influenced by the tax landscape, making it essential to stay informed and plan ahead. The challenge, however, is that important decisions often cannot wait for complete certainty. Many business owners are already considering questions around growth, recruitment, investment and succession planning. Political change simply adds another variable into an already complex decision-making environment. That's where tax advisors can make a real difference.

HMRC has confirmed that mandatory payrolling of Benefits in Kind (BIKs), originally expected to be introduced in full from April 2027, will instead be rolled out in phases. This gives businesses additional time to prepare for what is one of the most significant changes to payroll reporting in recent years. For business owners already managing rising costs, changing employment regulations, increasing compliance requirements and ongoing operational pressures, the announcement provides welcome breathing space. However, while the timeline may have eased, the need to prepare hasn't. Why Should Business Owners Care About Mandatory Payrolling? The biggest challenge facing business owners isn't simply understanding the new rules. It's ensuring their payroll processes, systems and benefit records can support a fundamentally different approach to reporting and taxing employee benefits. Many business leaders are already operating in an environment of constant change. They're balancing growth ambitions, workforce challenges, compliance obligations and commercial pressures, often making important decisions with incomplete information. Without proper preparation, mandatory payrolling could lead to payroll errors, compliance issues, increased administrative workload and employee confusion. The solution's to start planning early, review existing benefit arrangements and ensure payroll systems, processes and data are ready for the transition before the changes become mandatory. Businesses that act now will be better positioned to manage the change smoothly and maintain momentum as reporting requirements evolve. What Is Mandatory Payrolling of Benefits in Kind? Mandatory payrolling is HMRC's move towards taxing certain employee benefits through payroll rather than reporting them separately through the annual P11D...

For many business owners, the rhythm of running a business has shifted completely. For decades, business planning was built around the idea that certainty would eventually return. The three-year plan was the staple of strategic planning. Leaders created strategies, reviewed progress and adjusted plans at regular intervals. There was disruption, of course, but occasional disruption that could be managed as a temporary phase. The insights from our latest research into modern business leadership found that more than 6 in 10 business owners cannot confidently plan beyond the next quarter. And yet 60% say clear strategy and business planning is their top source of resilience, even when that planning happens in short sprints rather than long stretches. That’s the new reality of leadership. Why planning has changed For decades, business planning was built around the assumption that certainty would eventually return. The three-year plan was the staple of strategic thinking: leaders set a course, reviewed progress at intervals and treated disruption as a temporary phase to be managed before things settled again. That rhythm doesn't reflect how most SME leaders are operating today. Many are now adjusting plans monthly or quarterly, even weekly, not because they lack direction, but because the environment around them keeps moving. AI, geopolitics, legislation and shifting workforce expectations mean the conditions a plan is built on can change before the ink is dry. This is what we mean when we talk about Success Without Stillness. Businesses are still moving forward, ambition hasn't disappeared, but the route...

The UK tax compliance landscape continues to evolve, with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) consulting on a new criminal offence for making "reckless untrue statements or declarations" in relation to direct taxes, such as income tax, corporation tax, and capital gains tax. If introduced, the change would bring direct tax offences more closely into line with existing rules for VAT and customs matters and give HMRC an additional route to pursue cases where dishonesty cannot be proven, but reckless behaviour can. What’s the proposed HMRC reckless conduct offence? The proposed offence would apply where an individual makes an untrue statement or declaration to HMRC, and does so recklessly. According to the government consultation, recklessness would involve being aware of a risk that information may be inaccurate but proceeding without taking reasonable steps to verify the position. This refers to direct taxes, which includes Income tax Corporation tax Capital gains tax National Insurance contributions Statutory payments Inheritance tax Student loans Stamp taxes Importantly, this is different from an innocent mistake. The consultation makes it clear the intention’s not to criminalise genuine errors, but to target situations where taxpayers or tax advisors ignore warning signs, fail to carry out appropriate checks or submit information despite recognising there may be a problem. Examples for directors and shareholders The proposal arrives at a time when HMRC’s expanding the amount of information it receives and the ways it can analyse taxpayer data. For example, directors and shareholders of close companies are already dealing with enhanced...

The UK's employment law landscape underwent a significant change on 7 April 2026 with the launch of the Fair Work Agency (FWA), a new government body responsible for enforcing workers' rights and strengthening workplace compliance. Acting as a single point of regulation for both employers and employees, the FWA has been established to tackle non-compliance, investigate breaches, and take enforcement action where necessary. For business owners already navigating evolving regulations, economic pressures and changing workforce expectations, keeping up with compliance obligations can be challenging. As employment rights enforcement enters a new era, understanding the role and powers of the Fair Work Agency is essential. Doing so can help your business stay compliant, reduce risk and approach regulatory change with greater confidence and clarity. Fair Work Agency The Fair Work Agency (FWA) now falls under a single authority, replacing fragmented enforcement like HMRC's National Minimum Wage, Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA), and Earnings Application Statement (EAS). This isn’t just a legislative update. It’s a shift in how business owners, payroll processors, and HR advisors will be scrutinised. Although no new laws or rules have been established, what has changed is stronger enforcement of existing rules and structure. Instead of multiple bodies, there's now one central agency with wider visibility. This removes gaps and makes it easier for issues to be identified and escalated. What does the FWA enforce? The FWA oversees a wide range of employment rights and protections that directly affect employers, including: National Minimum Wage & Living Wage...

TC Group has promoted Felix Medd from Associate Director to Director – Head of Research & Development (R&D), recognising his leadership in developing the firm’s specialist R&D tax advisory offering and strengthening support for innovative businesses across the UK. Strengthening TC Group’s R&D Tax Advisory Offering Since joining TC in October 2024, Northampton-based Felix has played a fundamental role in the evolution of the firm’s national R&D service, helping businesses access valuable tax relief while navigating an increasingly complex regulatory environment. His promotion comes at a time of significant change for the UK’s R&D tax relief regime. Recent reforms, combined with increased HMRC scrutiny, have created a greater need for specialist advice, with businesses seeking confidence that claims are both compliant and robust. Navigating a Changing R&D Tax Relief Landscape According to Felix, while the purpose of R&D tax relief remains the same – encouraging investment in innovation – the expectations surrounding claims have changed considerably. “The most significant shift’s been HMRC’s approach to scrutiny,” said Felix. “While enquiry rates have reduced for firms that consistently prioritise compliance, the enquiries themselves can be detailed, time-consuming and constantly evolving. “As a result, what makes a strong claim today isn’t simply meeting the technical criteria or maximising eligible costs. Businesses also need to be able to demonstrate how their projects satisfy the rules and ensure they have the evidence to support that position if challenged. ” Why Specialist R&D Advice Matters More Than Ever For businesses investing in new products, processes, technologies...

After his grandad died, TC Group Digital Development Manager and keen cricketer, Jake Burton, thought a good way to honour him would be to fundraise for Alzheimer’s Research UK. Five years on, he’s raised £67,000 and counting. TURNING GRIEF INTO ACTION “My Grandad Trevor and I shared a love of cricket. He played, my dad played, it was in the family, and inevitable I guess that my sister and I would play too. When he died towards the end of 2020, Covid restrictions meant there was no real way to celebrate Grandad’s life, but I wanted to remember him somehow. My fondest memories of him are associated with cricket and, as he lived with dementia for the last years of his life, it made sense to bring the two together. Runs4Research was born. ” SMALL IDEA, BIG IMPACT The idea was simple – players signed up and committed to a donation of 5p to Alzheimer’s Research UK for every run scored and 50p for every wicket taken during the 2021 season. Any level, any game, anywhere. At the end of the season, the total would be tallied up and, for example, 200 runs would result in a £10 donation (paid through JustGiving). “I thought I might raise a couple of hundred quid through friends and family but, thanks to the support of my Long Sutton Club teammates and the reach of social media, 250 people signed up from all around the UK and Runs4Research raised £5,000 that season. ” LOCAL...

In today’s climate, business leadership is being reshaped in real time. Our latest insight report, Success Without Stillness: Leadership in Motion, draws on the views of 1,500 UK business leaders to explore what it really means to run a business when certainty is no longer the norm. It looks beyond headline trends to uncover how leaders are adapting, how decision-making is evolving, and how success itself is being redefined in a world that refuses to stand still. The findings reveal a striking tension: while only a small proportion of leaders feel fully in control, entrepreneurship in the SME sector is not just surviving, it's thriving. Business owners across the UK continue to show the courage, creativity and resilience needed to turn uncertainty into opportunity. How business owners are responding If there's one thing this report makes clear, it’s this: business ownership hasn’t become easier; it has become heavier and for some, the reward is getting harder to justify. Many of the leaders we speak to are carrying more than ever before, often without the certainty that once underpinned those decisions. And yet, what stood out to me most in this research is not how difficult things have become, but how business owners are responding. It’s not hesitation, it’s resilience. It’s progress and the determination to keep moving forward, even when the path isn’t fully clear. That is the reality of modern leadership. Leadership in motion.

Succession planning is too often something business owners turn to when they are approaching retirement or starting to think about a sale. But that framing is too late, too narrow and too focused on a single end point. One of the clearest insights from TC Group’s latest research into modern business leadership is that succession must start earlier. It begins in the everyday moments, who holds knowledge, who owns decisions, who manages relationships, who understands the numbers and whether the business can continue to operate without over-reliance on the owner. 27% of business leaders said their business would survive less than 3 weeks if they had to take unexpected leave, 70% said less than 6 months. Succession shouldn’t be plotted as an exit plan, but as an ongoing intervention that helps owners build stronger, more independent and more valuable businesses throughout the journey. That matters because too many businesses are still built around one person carrying too much, for too long. The owner holds the history, the judgement and often the final say on every decision. It may work for a time, it may even be part of what helped the business grow, but it can become one of the biggest risks to value and owner resilience too. The succession question shouldn’t be ‘when do you want to leave? ’ but ‘could the business keep moving now if you had to step away? ’ Experience does not solve owner dependency There’s often an assumption that the longer someone has owned...

Business owners have had to learn to live without certainty. Rising costs, regulation, AI, tax changes, geopolitical uncertainty and shifting customer and workforce expectations mean very few leaders are operating in a settled market. The old rhythm of disruption followed by a period of recovery no longer reflects how many businesses work. One of the clearest findings from TC Group’s latest report, Success Without Stillness: Leadership in Motion, is that leadership has adapted to this pace. Business owners are making decisions faster, adjusting plans more regularly and continuing to move forward even when the conditions around them keep changing. But there’s a growing risk sitting beneath that resilience: many businesses are now moving faster than their financial information. Decisions are being made weekly, daily and sometimes in the moment, but the numbers informing those decisions often still arrive monthly, quarterly, or after the point where action could have changed the outcome. The future of control isn’t certainty. It’s clarity. But clarity only works if it arrives early enough to support better decisions. Business now runs in real time The old rhythm of business no longer holds. Leaders are no longer moving through neat cycles of planning, disruption, recovery and review, they’re operating in constant motion. Plans are updated more frequently, decisions are made before month-end or quarter-end, opportunities appear and disappear quickly, costs move, cash pressure changes and customers behave differently. Regulation, tax, technology and market confidence continue to shift around them. 40% of leaders say political factors are now...

Leadership has always involved making decisions. What has changed is the pace and the weight of those decisions. SME leaders now move between commercial, people, financial and operational calls, often within the same day, and without the breathing room to fully process one decision before the next one lands. One business owner we spoke to as part of TC Group’s latest research into modern leadership put it simply. "When I get home and have to decide what to cook for dinner, that just folds me over. I can’t make any more decisions. " Decision fatigue isn’t a lack of capability. It’s what happens when pressure builds, decision after decision, until even the smallest choice starts to feel like too much. The new volume of leadership decisions Today’s business owners are dealing with more inputs than ever before – costs, regulation, people issues, technology, customer expectations, cash flow, funding, growth and risk, and they often arrive at once rather than one at a time. The volume and complexity of what leaders are expected to decide on has grown considerably, leaving them with less time to reflect and less certainty to lean on. "What people don’t realise, unless you’re in the position we’re in, is just how many decisions you do make on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis. There’s a lot and it can be overwhelming. " That overwhelm isn’t a sign that something has gone wrong with how a leader operates. It’s what naturally happens when responsibility multiplies faster than the...

How EMI Schemes and Employee Ownership Trusts Help Retain Key PEOPLE Keeping your best people has never been more challenging. In a competitive talent market, salary alone rarely secures long-term commitment from the individuals who matter most. The leaders, specialists and innovators who drive real change, learn quickly and remain motivated as things shift, increasingly want more than pay – they want a share in the success they help create. EMI Scheme: A Targeted Way to Incentivise Key People For many owner-managed businesses, an Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) offers one of the most effective ways to reward and motivate key people. EMI schemes allow you to grant share options to selected employees at a fixed price, giving them a direct stake in future growth. If the business performs well, they share in that upside - typically with a more favourable tax treatment than cash bonuses. Crucially, EMI’s are flexible. Options can be linked to performance targets, milestones or length of service, allowing you to focus reward where it’ll have the greatest impact. For growing businesses, this offers a powerful way to retain and recognise key individuals, without permanently increasing salary costs. Looking Further Ahead: Planning for Succession While EMI is focused on incentivising individuals, many business owners are also thinking about a much bigger question: What does the long-term future of my business look like? How do you step back, realise value, and protect what you have built; without disrupting the people and culture that made it successful in the...

For many years, the VAT treatment of medical recruitment agencies supplying locum doctors and other temporary medical staff has been relatively clear, with services typically subject to the standard VAT rate (20%). However, following HMRC’s update in December 2025, uncertainty has emerged across the sector, leaving agencies and healthcare providers questioning how supplies should now be treated. In this blog, we break down the key questions we’re hearing from clients and explain what the latest VAT developments could mean in practice. It’s important to note that the VAT treatment in this area is still evolving and HMRC has not yet issued definitive go-forward guidance. Please take specialist advice before making any decisions. WHAT CHANGED FOR MEDICAL RECRUITERS The First-tier Tribunal ruled in the Isle of Wight NHS Trust case that supplying GMC-registered doctors through a recruitment agency is VAT exempt under UK law - a direct contradiction of HMRC's long-standing policy. Crucially, HMRC chose not to appeal, which is generally taken as acceptance of the tribunal's findings. WHAT HAS HMRC ACTUALLY SAID? Following the tribunal, HMRC published Revenue & Customs Brief 9 (2025), inviting businesses to submit claims for VAT potentially charged in error. However, the brief is notably vague, lacking clear guidance for locum doctor recruitment agencies going forward. HMRC is understood to be "not insisting" that exemption applies, but the phrasing leaves most of the sector none the wiser. Representative bodies APSCo and REC are pressing for clearer guidance. DOES THIS AFFECT ALL TEMPORARY MEDICAL STAFF? No -...

Is your cash sitting idle? There are smart, tax-efficient ways to invest business profits that can benefit your personal wealth and strengthen your business’ future resilience. If your business has built up a decent amount of cash over the past few years, it’s a good indication you’re in a strong position. But what is that money doing for you right now, and could it do more? For many business owners I speak to, the answer is that it’s doing very little. It’s sitting in the bank waiting for a future that hasn’t quite been defined yet. That’s completely understandable. Cash gives you security, it gives you options. But leaving too much of it idle for too long can be a missed opportunity to build a stronger and more secure future for the business, for you, and for your family. The starting point is to identify "what is spare cash" Before doing anything, it’s a good idea to take a step back and look at your overall position. Broadly speaking, most businesses have three types of cash: Money you need to run the business day to day A buffer for the unexpected The rest: cash that isn’t earmarked for anything in particular It’s this third pot that’s worth thinking about more carefully. It’s not about taking unnecessary risks, it’s about being intentional with what you’ve built up. Why leaving it alone isn’t always the safe option Doing nothing might feel like the safe choice – and of course you don’t want...

On Friday, 19 June, our Service Charge team made their way to Old Billingsgate as The Property Institute's (TPI) ACE Awards returned for its annual celebration of excellence in property management. This year's theme, ‘Midnight at the Fairground’, promised an evening of elegance and wonder, bringing together the very best professionals from across the sector. As the TPI puts it, recognition, visibility and team pride are at the heart of the awards. For our team, there was an added sense of excitement. Having been recognised by the judges year after year as winners, finalists, and highly commended, they took their seats amongst industry peers to find out whether 2026 would add another chapter to their incredible ACE Awards success story... Then came the announcement. TC Group is the Service Charge Accountancy Firm of the Year 2026! The award recognises the exceptional expertise, dedication and client service delivered by our Service Charge team – a team that has grown to become the UK's largest specialist residential service charge accounting team, supporting more than 200 managing agents and over 7,500 service charge accounts every year.

With ongoing global economic uncertainty, access to the right commercial funding is more important than ever. Interest rate volatility has led many lenders to reassess their offerings, with a noticeable reduction in the availability of highly competitive fixed‑rate products across both residential and commercial mortgages. Despite these challenges, businesses continue to have a wide range of commercial funding options available, including the Growth Guarantee Scheme. At TC Group, we’re working closely with clients to find a route through the changing funding landscape, identify the most appropriate solutions, and secure finance aligned to their commercial objectives, whether that means proceeding now or planning strategically for the future. Understanding Today’s Commercial Funding Options While some borrowers have chosen to pause borrowing decisions until commercial interest rates to return to ‘normality’, lending activity remains strong across several key areas: High Street Banks are increasingly supporting UK businesses through the Growth Guarantee Scheme (GGS), providing commercial funding for small businesses who are looking to invest and grow. Challenger Banks and specialist lenders now account for nearly 40% of new facilities granted to businesses, often offering greater flexibility and speed of execution. Asset finance and blended funding structures are becoming more common, enabling businesses to acquire or replace assets (machinery, vehicles) without large upfront payments Bridging finance continues to be used to provide funding for commercial property, including refurbishments and redevelopment projects. Each of these options comes with different risk profiles, costs, and strategic implications, making professional advice critical. Real Results: How Businesses Are Securing...

E Group Ltd CHARTING A COURSE FOR THE FUTURE TC Group advised the shareholders of I. M. E Group Ltd on the successful sale of the business to international maritime leader Damen Shipyards Group. Based in Hampshire, I. M. E Group has built a strong reputation for delivering mechanical and electrical engineering services to the maritime and energy sectors. From its South Coast facilities, the business provides repair, maintenance and turnkey engineering solutions to customers across the UK. Led by owners Paul and Tina Langford, I. M. E developed a loyal customer base and a reputation for quality, responsiveness and technical expertise. As the business continued to grow, the shareholders began exploring options that would secure the company's long-term future while creating opportunities for employees, customers and the wider business. NAVIGATING A STRATEGIC ACQUISITION The opportunity emerged through discussions with Damen Shipyards Group, one of the world's leading shipbuilding and maritime services organisations. Recognising the strategic fit between the two businesses, TC Group worked closely with the shareholders from the earliest stages of the process.

Uncertainty’s become the backdrop for many businesses. And technology-led organisations aren’t immune. Rising costs. Skills shortages. Volatile markets. Shifting supply chains. A growing pressure to keep innovating, even when the ground feels unsteady beneath your feet. For businesses operating at the cutting-edge of engineering and advanced manufacturing, standing still simply isn’t an option. But moving forward requires calculated risk, clear thinking, and the right support. Silverstone Composites – a single‑source solution provider with industry expertise in the design and manufacture of carbon fibre, and a valued client of TC Group, knows this reality well. Based at Silverstone Park, at the heart of one of the UK’s most powerful high‑performance engineering clusters, the business operates in an environment where innovation, precision and pace are non‑negotiable. But like many growing technology businesses, Silverstone Composites has had to make significant decisions during a period of ongoing uncertainty. Making decisions with no easy answers One of the biggest challenges for leaders of innovative businesses isn’t a lack of ideas. It’s deciding where to focus them. When resources are finite and the future feels unpredictable, every investment decision carries weight. Whether it’s investing in people, expanding facilities, developing new processes, or backing Research & Development (R&D) projects that might not deliver immediate returns. At Silverstone Composites, this has meant balancing short‑term pressures with long‑term ambition. Growth’s required confidence; in the team, in the direction of the business, and in the value of continuing to innovate despite uncertainty. This is where many business leaders hesitate. When...

For the first time in more than fifteen years, HMRC’s raised the approved mileage rate for cars and vans. If you run a business, employ staff who drive for work, or claim mileage yourself as a director or sole trader, this change is worth understanding properly, not just noting in passing. The new rate took effect from 6 April 2026, backdated to the start of the 2026/27 tax year, and it affects payroll, expense policies, and tax planning across almost every sector. Here's what's changed, what it means for your business, and the practical steps to take next. What's Changed: The New HMRC Mileage Rates for 2026/27 The headline change is a 10p increase to the main rate for cars and vans, which had been frozen at 45p since 2011. The updated Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) for 2026/27 are: Cars and vans: 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles, then 25p per mile after that Motorcycles: 24p per mile, with no mileage threshold Bicycles: 20p per mile, with no mileage threshold Passenger payments: an additional 5p per mile per fellow employee carried on a business journey These are the tax-free rates employers can reimburse without triggering Income Tax or Class 1A National Insurance liabilities. They apply to employees, company directors, and self-employed individuals using their own vehicle for qualifying business travel, and they're separate from the Advisory Fuel Rates that apply to company cars.

“TC Group quickly helped us turn a complex finance and audit challenge into a controlled, deliverable process. Their support reduced pressure on the business, improved access to the reporting we needed, and kept everything moving to the deadline. ” Diane Towler, Accountant, Sentinel ICCS Ltd STEADYING THE SHIP DURING A COMPLEX TRANSITION Sentinel Industrial Cybersecurity and Control Systems Limited (formerly Eldor UK) is an Aberdeen-based engineering and automation specialist delivering complex industrial projects. As part of Init Group, an international organisation operating across multiple countries, the business requires strong financial visibility, reliable reporting and effective control to support delivery and growth. When accountant Diane Towler joined the business shortly after year-end, she stepped into a high-pressure environment. Multiple accounting systems were in use, historical data sat across international platforms, and an audit was already underway, creating immediate reporting and compliance risk. At that critical point, Sentinel engaged business advisory and accountancy firm TC Group to help restore control, support compliance and keep key deliverables on track. TURNING COMPLEXITY INTO CONTROL Diane joined Sentinel at a pivotal moment. There’d previously been no in-house finance lead, with the majority of the accounting managed externally. At the same time, the business had recently transitioned between financial systems, leaving key data spread across different platforms, some of which were not configured for UK reporting requirements. That created inefficiencies, limited visibility and increased the pressure around audit readiness. “As I joined the business after the year-end date, I was essentially starting from scratch, and I...

AI is rapidly reshaping how businesses operate, but for many SME owners, the biggest challenge isn’t the technology itself; it’s knowing where to begin. I see many businesses excited and also confused by hype and jumping straight into AI demos and tools, for the fear of lagging behind, without stepping back to understand what they are trying to achieve. The result? Wasted time, confused teams, and pilots that never scale. Successful AI adoption far more to do with the clarity of use cases, data, processes, and governance you build on, than the tools purchased in a rush. These five tips are designed to help SMEs cut through the AI hype and take practical, controlled steps toward adopting AI that truly supports their business objectives. 1. Start with clear business objectives, not technology Before you look at any AI tools, step back and articulate: What are your biggest operational pain points? What processes drain the most time or are prone to error? What opportunities exist to improve client service or productivity? How will this tie into your business objectives? AI must match what you want to achieve, not the other way around. If you can’t describe a problem clearly, AI can’t solve it. This clarity then becomes your filter for everything that follows. 2. Build your data foundations AI doesn’t work without clean, connected, accessible data. There are no shortcuts here. For SMEs, this means: Consolidating spreadsheets, systems or tools into fewer, better-integrated platforms. Documenting where your data sits. Ensuring you...

Working abroad, whether through relocation, a temporary secondment, or remote work, can be an exciting opportunity, offering both a valuable career step and a different lifestyle. However, it’s often assumed that moving and working overseas will simplify your tax position; when in reality, it often introduces a new layer of complexity. As advisors, our role is to ensure our clients understand how UK tax rules apply when leaving the UK, in order to avoid unnecessary liabilities, and remain compliant across borders. Tax residency remains the starting point The single most important factor is UK tax residency. Under Revenue and Custom’s (HMRC) Statutory Residence Test (SRT), individuals are assessed annually to determine whether they are UK resident. The SRT examines criteria including: the number of days you are present in the UK during a tax year, your work patterns i. e whether you are deemed to work abroad full-time or not, and based on your personal ties to the UK. Your status as either resident or non-resident for tax purposes, will impact how you are taxed by HMRC. This means: UK residents are generally taxed on their worldwide income and gains, although some may qualify for specific reliefs on foreign income depending on their circumstances. Non-residents are generally taxed on UK-source income and certain UK gains, such as income or gains relating to UK property. It’s often presumed that leaving the UK automatically ends UK tax obligations. In reality, residency status can remain unchanged, particularly where individuals retain UK ties such...

When it comes to mortgages, most people think of a standard residential mortgage for their own home. However, there are several other types of mortgages designed to suit different situations. Knowing your options can help you make informed decisions, whether you’re moving home, investing, or planning for later life. Below is a clear, bite-sized guide to the key mortgage types. Residential and Letting mortgages Let to Buy A Let to Buy mortgage is used when you want to rent out your current home while buying another residential property to live in. It’s a regulated product and often suits people who moving in with a partner or relocating, but wanting to keep their existing property. Buy to Let Buy to Let mortgages are typically non-regulated and designed for properties you intend to rent out. This could be a new purchase or raising capital for an existing investment property. The focus here is on generating rental income or long-term investment growth. Regulated Buy to Let A Regulated Buy to Let mortgage applies when you plan to rent a property to a family member. Because of the personal nature of the arrangement, the loan is usually only recommended after affordability checks are complete, ensuring you can cover both your own personal outgoings and mortgage, plus the costs and mortgage of the additional property.

TC Group is proud to announce that its offices in Leicester, Milton Keynes, Northampton, and Southampton have collectively been named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026. Widely regarded as the UK’s benchmark for excellence in organisational culture and employee experience, the recognition celebrates businesses that demonstrate the very highest levels of engagement, wellbeing, and inclusion across their workforce. The official list has been published online today at https://www. thetimes. com/best-places-to-work and will also appear in the print edition of The Sunday Times this coming Sunday 24 May. It features 567 organisations across industries, including 218 medium-sized businesses, with employers recognised for their performance across key drivers such as reward and recognition, information sharing, empowerment, pride, job satisfaction, and wellbeing. The accolade is based entirely on employee feedback gathered through The Sunday Times Best Places to Work survey, making it a direct reflection of colleagues’ day-to-day experiences. As well as celebrating success, being named on the list strengthens employer brand, supports talent attraction and retention, and reinforces the link between employee experience and sustainable business performance.

For many business owners, the ultimate goal is often building a successful company and increasing business value to achieve the best possible price when they sell. But increasing business value doesn’t happen overnight. It needs to be something that business owners focus on from day one. It's a long-term process that requires focus, a clear strategy, and consistent action and changes within a business. Whether you have ambitious plans to grow, seek investment, or eventually sell, understanding what drives your business's value is essential. Too often owners only think about business valuation when they’re close to exit and by then, opportunities to maximise value may already have been missed. This blog is for business owners and leaders looking to maximise the value of their company for growth, investment or for eventual sale. Below, I explore how to build a stronger, more valuable business over the company's lifetime through adopting a strategy that attracts potential buyers, reduces perceived risk, and delivers more profit over time. What Is Business Value and Why Does It Matter? Business value reflects what your company is worth today and what a buyer is willing to pay in the market. A robust business valuation determines this by assessing underlying financial performance, future cash flows, risk, and growth potential. Many businesses are valued using methods such as earnings multiples, discounted future earnings (present value of future cash flows) or the times revenue method. However, just focusing on the financials isn't all that you need to consider when looking...

“Others were quick to wash their hands of us. That wasn’t true of TC Group. They stuck with us, were persistent, and kept pushing for the right buyers and the right offers. ” Stephen Paull, Director, Mosaic Board Print SKETCHED ON A BEERMAT, SEALED WITH A DEAL TC Group helped deliver a successful sale of one of Europe’s most distinctive, world-leading beermat printing businesses. Founded in 1996 by Gary Pearce and Stephen Paull, Mosaic Board Print, based in Kettering, Northamptonshire, has grown into Europe’s leading printer and manufacturer of real pulp‑board beer mats. With over 30 years’ experience and a combined 60 years of print knowledge, Mosaic’s produced virtually every type of beer mat imaginable, and helped develop and innovate many along the way. From the early days, when bottles of Fosters Ice were flying off the shelves, Lemon Hooch filled the air and a pint cost just £1. 70, Mosaic established itself in a market that’s since become increasingly niche. While many competitors exited over the years, Mosaic adapted, repositioning beer mats as a high-impact marketing tool for major brands and breweries. Today, Mosaic Board Print is one of the very few manufacturers still operating in this specialist space, producing beer mats used beneath household-name brands and brew fans alike. Clients include Walkers, Pepsi, BrewDog, Pringles, Guinness and Wells & Co. POURING OUT THE NUMBERS 3 billion beer mats printed since 1996.

Across the UK, there’s no shortage of ambitious business owners. From professional services and construction firms, to manufacturers, retailers and tech-enabled start-ups, the drive to build a sustainable, profitable businesses remains. Yet one of the most common issues we see as business advisors and accountants, regardless of size or sector, is a lack of good, accurate and regular management information. Too often, business owners are expected to make commercial decisions without having a clear, up-to-date picture of how their business is really performing. Looking Beyond the Year End Accounts Business owners aren’t alone if they view their financial information primarily as a compliance exercise. Accounts are prepared once a year, tax returns are filed, and the figures are then put aside until the next cycle. While statutory accounts play an important role, they’re historical by nature. By the time they’re prepared, they show what happened months ago, not what’s happening now - and not what’s likely to happen next. In a fast-paced environment, that gap can be costly. What Is Management Information? Management information (MI) is the regular reporting that helps business owners understand performance in real time. Typically produced monthly or quarterly, it provides insight into areas such as: Profitability and margins Cash flow and working capital Key trends and performance indicators Comparisons against budgets or prior periods Good Management Information is accurate, timely and relevant. It focuses on the information that genuinely matters to that particular business, rather than generic reports that look impressive, but offer little insight....

In today’s current climate, certainty is in short supply. Current geopolitical tensions, economic volatility, shifting regulations, and changing access to capital are creating a more complex landscape for business owners. While you can’t control these external factors, you can control how your business is structured to respond to them. One of the most overlooked ways to build resilience is to periodically review your organisation's structure. Restructuring your business is a deliberate and considered activity that should be part of your strategic planning. It enables your business to adapt, stay ahead, protect value and remain competitive as conditions change. In some scenarios, restructuring can also significantly help protect your personal wealth. In this blog, I cover the key scenarios where restructuring should be considered and how it can help reduce risk, improve control and create flexibility. WHEN IS RESTRUCTURING RIGHT FOR YOUR BUSINESS? Markets shift quickly, costs fluctuate and strategic priorities can evolve faster than expected. It’s also true that personal circumstances change and unexpected opportunities arise. The most resilient businesses and owners are those that can respond early and fast. Key moments where restructuring becomes particularly important include: Preparing for exit or succession. Change in management. Making acquisitions. Changes in financing, lender requirements or funding pressure. Rapid growth or contraction. Needing to separate JV partners. Separating business streams. Separating assets such as property. Introducing an employee share scheme. Having the right structure in place can help create commercial advantage and mitigate risk.

Where SME businesses are creating value in today’s M&A market Despite ongoing uncertainty, the UK SME market remains resilient, with buyers, sellers and funders still keen to transact; albeit more selectively and thoughtfully. Business owners are making deliberate decisions about investing in people, technology, innovation and M&A to accelerate growth against rapidly changing market dynamics and to increase the value of their business. Long‑term strategic planning has shortened significantly, with agility now critical. For many, the easiest option is to pause and ‘wait and see’, but the real risk is standing still and failing to build future value. Rising cost pressures (minimum wage, employer NICs, energy and inputs) are front of mind, (we’ve just seen inflation jump to 3. 3%, well above the Bank of England’s target of 2%) however owners are increasingly open to exploring ways to protect margins and competitiveness. We’re seeing a growing reliance on outsourcing, technology and AI to drive operational efficiencies and enable better, faster decision‑making through improved real‑time analytics. In sectors where organic growth is challenging, acquisitive growth has become central to many client strategies. There also remains significant private equity ‘dry powder’, and a strong appetite for well‑run, scalable businesses. For sellers, demand is firmly focused on well‑prepared, strategically positioned businesses, and transactional activity should continue where fundamentals are strong. Geopolitics, Market Uncertainty and the Impact on M&A Activity The global geopolitical environment has influenced deal activity but has not stopped it. While overall deal volumes and headline values have softened, success rates...

No matter where you are in your business journey, the goal is the same: stay in control. But for many business owners, there comes a point where that control starts to slip. Not because the business is failing, but because the numbers are no longer keeping pace with reality. That moment rarely arrives suddenly. It builds quietly: “We’re busier than ever, but cash feels tighter. ” “We’re making decisions using last month’s figures. ” “I used to hold the numbers in my head... now I can’t. ” “I don’t feel in control day to day. I’m catching up. ” That is where an outsourced finance function becomes transformational. Not as a trend, but as a response to real operational pressure. At TC Group, we hold a simple truth: accountancy is about being exact, but advisory is about being curious. The best finance functions do both. WHAT IS AN OUTSOURCED FINANCE FUNCTION? An outsourced finance function allows an external team to take responsibility for some or all of your core finance activities. This may include bookkeeping, reporting, management accounts, cashflow support, compliance and strategic insight, at a level that fits your business. Instead of building a full in-house department, you access the capability you need when you need it, and scale as the business evolves. Some businesses need strong foundations. Others need better visibility and decision support. In both cases, outsourcing provides structure, experience and consistency without the overhead of multiple hires.

Key Person Insurance protects your business from the loss of a key individual, usually when they cannot work due to critical or terminal illnesses. Insurance is paid to the business to help replace the key person, as well as covering profit losses. For the majority of businesses, especially SMEs, the loss of the key person can cause significant operational disruption and knock stakeholder confidence. Having Key Person Insurance in place can ease financial risk and uncertainty during difficult periods, providing stability and continuity for the business and its customers. Why Is Key Person Insurance Important? Protecting Revenue and Cash Flow Losing a key individual can lead to lost sales, delayed projects, or operational disruption. The payout from a Key Person policy can help cover loss of revenue, maintain cash flow, and keep the business running while a replacement is found. Supporting Recruitment and Training Replacing a senior or specialist employee takes time and comes with a cost. Recruitment fees, onboarding, and training costs can quickly add up. Key Person Insurance helps to fund this recruitment and training without putting a strain on the business. Maintaining Confidence Among Stakeholders Investors, lenders, and clients often rely on the stability of key individuals, and a sudden loss can raise concerns about the company’s future. Having Key Person Insurance in place demonstrates strong risk management and reassures stakeholders that the business is prepared. Protecting Business Loans Many lenders require Key Person Insurance as a condition of borrowing, especially for SMEs. The payout can be...

AI is transforming almost every sector of the economy, but for UK SMEs, the reality in 2025 was far more modest than the headlines suggested. In February this year, the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) published a government review of AI adoption to date, built on 3,500 business interviews and 100 qualitative follow‑ups conducted between February and May 2025. * The results were striking, not because adoption was high, but because it was surprisingly low. However, this data already feels out of date. From what I see in early 2026, the acceleration of AI in businesses is already underway. In this blog, I reflect on what the government’s 2025 data really tells us about SMEs, why I believe 2026 is shaping up very differently, and how we at TC Group are building the foundations to support both our people and our clients through this shift. 2025: A YEAR OF LOW AI ADOPTION ACROSS UK SMES? The government’s 2025 research paints a clear picture: AI adoption remains modest. The data showed that only 1 in 6 businesses currently use AI, and most had no active plans to adopt it in 2025. * The qualitative and quantitative insights showed that: Most SMEs had not deployed AI systematically or strategically. Adoption was patchy, small‑scale, and usually confined to experiments. Many business leaders remained uncertain about where AI could be applied. The research highlighted a crucial underlying issue: most SMEs struggled to identify clear AI use cases, and the study carefully noted...

Securing innovation funding’s a major milestone worth celebrating for any organisation, but as soon as funding’s awarded, it comes with strict reporting and compliance requirements. At TC Group, we provide Independent Accountant’s Reports (IARs) to ensure your claims to funding bodies, including Innovate UK, are accurate, compliant, and fully supported by robust financial evidence. Whether you’re submitting your first claim, final claim, or annual report, our experienced Audit team makes the process straightforward so you can focus on delivering your project. What’s an Independent Accountant’s Report (IAR)? An Independent Accountant’s Report is a financial verification report prepared by a registered auditor to confirm that project costs claimed against grant funding are: Eligible under the funding rules Accurate and properly recorded Supported by appropriate evidence Think of it as a financial checkpoint. With grant funding typically coming from government or public sources, and in some cases charitable organisations, these funding bodies want to ensure your grant’s spent exactly as agreed. The IAR provides independent confirmation that the costs claimed are both correct and compliant. An IAR involves reviewing evidence such as: Timesheets Payroll records Invoices and receipts Project documentation When’s an Independent Accountant’s Report required? For many projects funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), an IAR’s mandatory depending on the level of funding awarded. Typical requirements include: Grants under £50,000: Usually only a Statement of Expenditure (SoE) signed by a director’s required £50,000 – under £100,000: One IAR, typically submitted with the final claim £100,000 – under £500,000: An IAR’s...

The Government handed down the draft Finance Bill 2025 on 21 July 2025, including joint and several liability as previously suspected. Relevant Parties Who are the Relevant Parties within the draft legislation? : The umbrella company: A business that employs workers to provide services to a client, where the worker does not have a material interest in the company and the “umbrella company arrangements conditions” are met (e. g. , specific contractual arrangements). Agency Closest to the End Client: If an agency is involved in the supply chain and holds a contract with the end client, this agency is considered a relevant party. In cases with multiple agencies, the agency closest to the end client (e. g. , a top-tier agency or Managed Service Provider) is the relevant party. If the agency or end client is not UK-resident, the closest UK-resident agency in the supply chain becomes the relevant party. End Client: If no agency is involved in the supply chain, the end client (the entity receiving the worker’s services) is the relevant party. Joint and several liability The umbrella company is primarily responsible for PAYE and NIC obligations. Under the new rules, HMRC can issue a tax demand to any Relevant Party if the umbrella company fails to pay its PAYE or NIC obligations, for example, if...

In this blog: FCA‑regulated firms need more than basic accounting to meet regulatory expectations. Strong governance, financial controls, and audit‑ready records are essential for compliance. FCA reporting requirements are complex, time‑sensitive, and closely scrutinised. Regulatory finance supports risk management, forecasting, and financial resilience. Specialist FCA accountants help firms interpret regulatory changes and avoid non‑compliance. For FCA-regulated firms, financial compliance is more than keeping accurate books or meeting year-end deadlines. Regulation brings an added layer of scrutiny, responsibility, and risk. While traditional accounting services play an important role, they’re often not enough on their own to meet the ongoing demands of FCA regulation. Firms that rely solely on compliance-focused accounting risk falling behind regulatory expectations and exposing themselves to unnecessary operational and financial risk. The difference between accounting and regulatory finance Basic accounting focuses on recording transactions, producing statutory accounts, and ensuring tax compliance. For many unregulated businesses, this may be sufficient. However, FCA-regulated firms operate in a different environment. The FCA expects firms to demonstrate strong financial controls, robust governance, and a clear understanding of their financial position at all times, not just at year-end. This includes the ability to evidence compliance, respond quickly to regulatory requests, and show that risks are being actively monitored and managed. Regulatory finance requires a more proactive approach, combining financial reporting with risk management, forecasting, and regulatory insight. Governance, controls and audit readiness The FCA places significant emphasis on governance and internal controls. Firms are expected to maintain clear financial procedures, strong oversight, and...

All UK companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) are required to consider whether they need a statutory audit as part of their annual reporting obligations. While many entities assume an audit is always mandatory, this is not the case. Whether a statutory audit is required depends on the size of the business and the nature of its activities. For financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025, certain small companies may qualify for an exemption from a statutory audit if they meet at least two of the following criteria: Turnover of no more than £15 million Assets worth no more than £7. 5 million An average of 50 or fewer employees If a company meets two of these thresholds, it may be exempt from the requirement to have its accounts audited. However, qualifying for the small company exemption does not automatically mean an audit is unnecessary in all circumstances. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulated firms are generally required to undergo a statutory audit, regardless of size. This means that even small companies that would otherwise qualify for the exemption may still need an audit if they operate within a regulated sector. The audit requirements for FCA-regulated entities are complex and can vary depending on the permissions held, the nature of regulated activities, and specific regulatory rules. As a result, determining whether an audit is required often involves a detailed review of both company structure and regulatory status. Failing to meet statutory audit requirements can result in regulatory breaches, reputational...

Charities face a unique blend of operational, financial and regulatory challenges, and having the right mix of skills within your management team can make a significant difference. At TC Group, our Third Sector specialists work closely with a wide range of charities every day, supporting them with everything from restricted grant management to VAT considerations and annual budgeting. This insight has shown us how valuable it is for management teams to feel confident not only in programme delivery, but also in the financial responsibilities that sit alongside it. In this blog, we explore how charities can broaden the skills within their management teams to feel more prepared, more resilient and better equipped for the year ahead. Delivering Charitable Objectives with Confidence The heart of every charity is its mission. To deliver on that mission, managers often need strong sector‑specific expertise, excellent communication skills and the ability to lead teams effectively. These strengths are essential for ensuring that projects meet the expectations of beneficiaries and funders alike. Alongside these core skills, it’s increasingly important for managers to feel comfortable with the financial aspects of their roles. Budget holders benefit from being organised, numerate and confident using spreadsheets, as well as understanding how project outputs link to costs. In the Third Sector, where funding is often tightly monitored, this financial awareness helps ensure commissioned work stays within budget and is delivered sustainably. Consider the Structure of Your Management Team Many charities have managers who excel in programme delivery and are deeply committed...

For many owner-managed businesses, “the future” rarely reaches the top of the agenda. With the daily pressures of clients, staff, cash flow, and operations, long-term planning can feel like a luxury. Yet one of the most important decisions an owner will ever make is how, and when, to step back while protecting the value they've created. With significant tax changes coming into force from 2025 and 2026, including increases to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and reforms to Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) relief, this is the right moment for business owners to reassess their succession strategy. Below are four core exit routes for owner-managed businesses, and how the changing landscape affects each. Management Buyouts (MBOs) Still viable — but the stakes have changed From April 2026, the CGT rate on disposals qualifying for Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) rises to 18%, with a £1 million lifetime cap. Once that allowance is used — or where conditions are not met — the full rate applies. Because MBOs typically involve payment over time, the seller relies on the company’s future profitability and the capability of the management team. With higher tax costs, deferred consideration becomes more exposed to performance risk, placing greater emphasis on robust forecasting, leadership strength and cashflow resilience. MBOs work best where a strong internal team is already driving growth and profits are predictable enough to support structured repayments. They remain an effective route, but require more careful risk assessment than in previous years. Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) Culturally powerful...

Retention is a topic that everyone in the tech sector talks about, but when you strip it back, it is not really about salary or surface level benefits. It's about something far more fundamental: engagement, ownership and belonging. People stay when they feel genuinely invested in the company’s success. One of the most effective ways to achieve this, particularly in tech businesses where growth and competition move quickly, is to give your key people a stake in the future value they are helping to create. For many tech companies, the answer lies in long term incentive plans, known as LTIPs. These reward employees not with a one-off bonus, but with value directly linked to long term company performance. The impact can be profound. Teams begin to think like owners. They start asking the right questions, caring about margins, focusing on client retention, improving product development and behaving in ways that naturally support sustainable growth. From early-stage startups to established tech businesses preparing for funding rounds or planning an exit, LTIPs have become one of the most effective tools available for keeping the talent you have worked so hard to attract. WHY LTIPS ARE PARTICULARLY POWERFUL IN TECH Tech businesses operate in high pressure, fast evolving environments. Products change, investment cycles bring ambitious targets, and teams are expected to scale quickly. Stability depends on people who are motivated not just by their role today, but by the future they are actively helping to build. Long term incentives support exactly this mindset....

Video Games Expenditure Credit (VGEC) A couple of years ago, the UK introduced the Video Games Expenditure Credit (VGEC) as the new tax relief for video game development. This relief replaces its predecessor, Video Games Tax Relief (VGTR), whereby for all new developments since April 2025 VGEC now forms the central government incentive supporting the UK’s thriving games and interactive entertainment sector. At its core, VGEC is an above-the-line expenditure credit—operating similarly to the Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC) used in the wider innovation landscape. The credit is calculated as a percentage of qualifying “core expenditure”, covering activities such as design, coding, animation, asset creation, and quality assurance. VGEC does though carry a heavy UK expenditure requirement, whereby; At least 10% of the “core expenditure” (broadly design, production and testing of a video game) must be incurred and consumed within the UK, and Total qualifying spend is then capped at the lower of 80% of the project’s total core expenditure and the amount of UK core expenditure. To access the credit, a company must be the Video Games Development Company (VGDC)—the entity responsible for designing, producing, testing and delivering the final game. The game must be intended for commercial release and must pass the British Film Institute (BFI) cultural test, ensuring it contributes creatively, culturally, or economically to the UK. This test remains broadly consistent with the previous VGTR rules. VGEC offers a headline credit rate of 34%, which appears as income “above the line” in the profit and...

TC Group, a leading UK firm of accountants and business advisors, has today announced the rebrand of its offshore audit and finance capability, Chartered Solutions, to TC South Africa. This marks a significant milestone in its growth, reinforcing its mission to deliver high‑quality remote audit and advisory talent to UK accounting firms. Where the journey began Founded in 2022, Chartered Solutions was built on a simple premise: that UK accounting firms should be able to access exceptional South African professionals through a high‑quality, remote‑first offshore model. Founders Mike Lewis and Justin Bower prioritised quality over scale from day one, establishing a team that quickly became trusted by UK firms. By 2023, the South Africa‑based team had grown to 16 skilled professionals supporting a range of UK practices. Around this time, the founders were introduced to TC Group, one of the UK’s fastest-growing accountancy groups. Both organisations shared a commitment to entrepreneurial thinking, partner autonomy, and delivering value through highly capable team, a natural foundation for joining forces. After four years of operating under the Chartered Solutions brand, the business now embarks on its next chapter as TC South Africa. Justin Bouwer, Co‑founder, says: “Our team in South Africa has grown into an exceptional group of professionals, and this rebrand reflects the confidence and trust our UK clients have placed in us. ” A strategic move aligned with UK market demand Mike Lewis, Co‑founder, comments: “Under the new brand we are doubling down on our growth ambitions.

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax represents a significant shift in how landlords and self-employed individuals report their income. Instead of one tax return a year, HMRC now requires digital record‑keeping, quarterly updates, and a final declaration submitted through approved software. For many, this means a change in habits, administration, and tech. What MTD actually requires from landlords and the self‑employed Under MTD, HMRC expects you to: Keep digital records of all income and expenses: paper receipts and spreadsheets alone won’t meet the rules. Submit quarterly updates to HMRC showing income and expenses for that period. Use MTD‑compatible software to store records and send updates. Submit a final declaration after the tax year, confirming your total taxable income. This applies to landlords and sole traders once their qualifying income passes the threshold (starting at £50,000 from April 2026, then £30,000 from April 2027, and £20,000 from April 2028). What makes MTD more complex in practice For many landlords and self‑employed people, the challenge isn’t the tax itself, it’s the admin: The quarterly deadlines mean you can’t leave everything until January anymore. Digital record‑keeping requires consistent, accurate input throughout the year. Software choices can be confusing, and the wrong setup can cause errors or missed submissions. Mixed income streams (e. g. , rental + self‑employment) must be recorded and reported separately. This is where accountants become essential. TC Group can help bridge that gap, not just by filing things for you on approved accounting software, but by making sure the...

On 18 December 2025, the new Employment Rights Act 2025 came into place. Changes in the Act will be introduced over the next 2 years (2026 and 2027) with the aim to give workers and their families more security in their jobs. With over 28 major employment reforms across various areas, in this blog, we break down four key areas of changes and how employers and employees should prepare. Family Leave & Sick Pay In April 2026, paternity leave will become a 'day one right', allowing someone to give notice of leave from the first day of employment; it's currently not until 26 weeks of working for an employer. This being said, doesn’t however mean employees will be entitled to paternity pay. Parental leave – entitling you to 18 weeks’ unpaid leave for each child and adopted child up to their 18th birthday - will also become a 'day one right'. Currently, employees have to be at the company for 1 year. The restriction on taking statutory paternity leave after shared parental leave will be removed as well. Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) will also paid from the first day of illness from April 2026, instead of the fourth day, and the lower earnings limit will be removed. Currently, the minimum amount an employee has to earn before being eligible for SSP is £125 per week. After April, all employees, regardless of income level, will be eligible for SSP. These changes represent a shift in employer responsibilities. Businesses will need to...

The UK recruitment market is crowded and highly competitive. There are large numbers of agencies operating in a relatively small economy and it has become harder to stand out on home turf. At the same time the UK is widely regarded as one of the global leaders in recruitment, with well-developed processes, experienced consultants and a mature agency model. That mix of saturation at home and relative strength abroad explains why more owners are looking beyond the UK as part of their next phase of growth. The way your clients are also expanding into new territories, and the growing number of consultants who are open to working overseas are all adding to that shift in thinking. Over the last 12-24 months, markets such as the US, Ireland, mainland Europe and the Middle East are featuring increasingly regularly in board discussions. The question for many firms is how to approach international growth in a way that fits the business rather than chasing the latest fashionable destination. BUSINESS REASONS BEHIND INTERNATIONAL PLANS For most agencies the first nudge towards international work comes from clients. As customers expand into new countries, they often ask existing partners to help with roles in those locations. Turning that work down creates an obvious gap for competitors, so services are often provided from the UK, and progress builds on success. This represents is a reactive approach to international expansion. A second factor is opportunity or diversification. If the domestic market in your niche feels mature and pricing...

Looking beyond salary and commission - How to incentivise your best people Most recruitment businesses already have a blend of salary, bonus and commission in place. For many teams that works well. But when you are looking to retain a small group of pivotal people and keep them focused on the longer-term value of the business, you often need something that feels more substantial than a marginal uplift in annual pay. Equity-based incentives, or equity-linked alternatives, can sit alongside the reward structures you already have. They give key individuals a clearer connection to the value they are helping to build and a stronger reason to stay for the next stage of the journey. For recruitment businesses, three tools tend to come up most often in practice. EMI options Growth shares Phantom share schemes. WHY EQUITY HAS BECOME PART OF THE CONVERSATION There are a few reasons these conversations have moved from being occasional to becoming more mainstream. First, many owners are focused on building a stronger team for the medium term, not just delivering the next quarter. Second, the market remains competitive for the best billers and leaders. Third, more businesses are thinking about succession and future exit routes, even if that exit is still some years away. Equity and equity-linked incentives help because they connect reward to business value rather than only individual performance. EMI OPTIONS Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) schemes remain the most widely used share option route for qualifying recruitment businesses. At their simplest, EMI options allow...

What 2025 deal trends mean for recruitment exits in 2026 2025 has been a challenging year for the sector with significant headwinds affecting even the biggest beasts. As ever though those in the sector prove to be a resilient bunch and whilst economic growth forecasts aren’t exactly stellar, they do at least provide a stable backdrop for decision making which should in turn lead to improved market conditions in 2026. Another observation is that there has been a sharp focus from management teams on right-sizing their business, looking for an increased yield from consultants as well exploring a tech stack that can perform certain business functions at a lower price point than would be the case with employing staff, and also look to tweak business models such that revenue can become more recurring and predictable. From an M&A perspective, 2025 got off to a quiet start in the UK generally. This is widely accepted to be due to a large number of deals being accelerated into Q4 2024 in advance of the changes to capital gains tax. An uptick in Q2 has given way to another drop off in Q3 perhaps not helped by the extraordinary lead up to the Autumn Budget Speech. What about the recruitment sector specifically? As the graph below (Source: MarktoMarket) shows the sector is following the wider national trend quite closely in respect of deal flow and whilst empirical data is thin on the ground there’s no evidence to suggest the sector is bucking the...

The 2026 Spring Statement's now been delivered by Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, providing an updated snapshot of the UK’s economic outlook for the year ahead. As expected, the Chancellor reserved major fiscal announcements for the Autumn Budget in an effort to provide greater stability and reduce speculation around tax and spending decisions. As a result, this Spring Statement introduced no significant new policy changes. However, it did reaffirm the Government’s broader economic direction and provide context for businesses planning ahead. The TC Group team has summarised the key takeaways, highlighting what SMEs and Owner-Managed Businesses should be aware of as we move through 2026. ECONOMIC OUTLOOK The OBR’s real GDP growth forecast’s expected to slow to 1. 1% in 2026. This is said to reflect the weaker-than-expected GDP outturns in late 2025, further evidence of a loosening labour market, and subdued business surveys. Faster growth is anticipated for following years, with a predicted rise of 1. 6% in 2027 and 2028, and 1. 5% in 2029 and 2030 as productivity growth rises and the negative output gap closes. The Chancellor said, after accounting for inflation, “people are forecast to be over £1,000 a year better off” by the next election. EMPLOYMENT The OBR’s report noted that the labour market's softened, with redundancy rates rising. It forecasts unemployment will increase to 5. 3% in 2026, up from 4. 75% in 2025. The OBR also revised its November forecast, projecting unemployment at 4. 1% by 2030, while acknowledging the inherent...

As we approach the end of the 2024/25 tax year, it's important to understand the changes from the financial year, and prepare for the year ahead. Borrowing costs have begun to ease from recent highs, but interest rates remain relatively elevated by historical standards. Inflation has cooled from its peak, although day-to-day expenses remain a concern for many households and a pressure point for cashflow in a lot of businesses. Against that backdrop, it pays to be deliberate about how you earn income, fund investments, and protect your longer-term wealth. Policy has also continued to shift. Recent Budgets have combined revenue-raising measures with targeted support, and there have been notable changes affecting employers, including higher employer National Insurance and an expanded Employment Allowance from April 2025. For individuals, frozen thresholds and tighter allowances in some areas mean that small decisions can have a larger tax effect than you might expect. Year-end planning is not only about ticking the compliance box. It's an opportunity to utilise reliefs and allowances fully before they reset on 6 April 2026. That might involve utilising ISA allowances, reviewing pension contributions, planning for capital gains, or taking sensible steps regarding inheritance tax, depending on your circumstances.

The UK Government has announced significant reforms to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), with changes expected to take effect from April 2026. These updates are designed to widen access to sick pay and simplify eligibility for employees — but they will also require employers to review their payroll processes, absence policies, and potential costs. For business owners, understanding these changes early will help ensure compliance and allow time to prepare operationally and financially. Why Statutory Sick Pay Is Changing Statutory Sick Pay has traditionally been subject to strict eligibility rules, including minimum earnings thresholds and waiting days before payments begin. The upcoming reforms aim to make sick pay more accessible to workers and create greater consistency in how SSP is administered across employers. While the objective is to support employees, the changes will have practical and financial implications for businesses that need to be planned for now. Key Changes Expected from April 2026 Removal of Waiting Days Currently, SSP is payable from the fourth day of sickness absence. Under the new rules, Statutory Sick Pay will be payable from the first day of absence. This means employers will be required to pay SSP sooner, increasing the frequency and potential cost of sick pay claims. Expansion of SSP Eligibility Employees earning below the current Lower Earnings Limit are expected to become eligible for SSP. As a result, more workers — particularly those in lower-paid or part-time roles — will qualify for statutory sick pay. This expansion will widen employer responsibilities and increase...

I don’t have to worry about audit preparation, and now I actually look forward to approving documents and receiving the daily email with what I need to review. I can start my day with something easy and immediately rewarding, which is approving invoices, and then move to the more difficult tasks.

Every law firm that handles client money must complete an annual, independent review of its accounts under the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Accounts Rules. Handling client money brings risks and regulatory mistakes can be costly. Did you know even minor breaches in account handling can trigger SRA intervention? It’s one of the regulator’s most serious enforcement powers. In certain cases, such as suspected dishonesty or breaches of the Accounts Rules, an intervention can lead to suspension of a practising certificate and effectively bring a solicitor’s practice to an end. That’s a risk no firm can afford to take. An SRA audit is a critical process that demands meticulous preparation and robust financial management – it’s something we help many solicitor firm manage with confidence every year. What’s an SRA audit and what does it cover? An SRA audit provides assurance that your clients’ money’s safeguarded, accurately accounted for, and that effective internal controls are in place to prevent misuse or error. Under the current SRA Accounts Rules, firms that hold or receive client money (or operate joint accounts or act as signatory on clients’ own accounts) must obtain an independent Accountant’s Report (AR1) within six months of the accounting period end. Need-to-knows: The report, often referred to as the ‘SRA audit’, ‘SRA Accounts Rules audit’ or ‘Solicitor accounts audit’, is distinct from a statutory audit. It must be prepared by a qualified accountant (e. g. member of ICAEW, ACCA) who’s also a registered auditor, or works for a registered audit...

The government confirmed a number of changes to Capital Allowances in the 2025 Autumn Budget, affecting how businesses claim tax relief on investment in plant and machinery over the coming years. While some reliefs are being scaled back, others are being introduced to continue encouraging business investment, particularly in greener assets. Now’s the time to be strategic about the structure of capital expenditure to ensure you’re maximising on the reliefs available. In this blog, we outline the main changes and what they mean in practice. Reduction in Writing Down Allowance From April, the writing down allowance for expenditure in the main pool will be cut from 18% to 14% per year. This applies: from 1 April 2026 for businesses within Corporation Tax, and from 6 April 2026 for businesses within Income Tax. There will also be a hybrid rate for chargeable periods that straddle these dates. The main pool typically includes most standard plant and machinery used in a business. A lower Writing Down Allowances means relief on qualifying expenditure will be spread over a longer period, increasing taxable profits in the short term. For businesses planning significant capital investment, this change makes it more important to consider whether alternative reliefs, such as First-Year Allowances or the Annual Investment Allowance, are available. New 40% First-Year Allowance To help offset the reduction in writing down allowances, the government introduced a new 40% first-year allowance (FYA) on 1 January 2026 for main rate expenditure. This allowance is intended to encourage continued investment...

The 2025 Autumn Budget announced a package of measures aimed at supporting businesses in England following rising business rates due to a combination of inflation, property revaluations and the aftermath of COVID-19. With revaluation changes and ongoing pressure on operating costs, the new measures are designed to provide stability, protect smaller businesses, and support growth across key sectors. However, the latest research from the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has revealed that more than half of all firms currently plan to increase their prices due to the rising cost pressures. The BCC is therefore asking the Treasury to rethink its plans due to the anxiety of the changes reaching a record high. The hospitality, manufacturing and logistics sectors face the highest levels of concern, with BCC data from February 2024 showing that 27% of businesses have already had to scale back or cancel plans to expand due to business rates costs. In this blog, we break down business rate changes and what they mean for UK businesses. BUSINESS RATES RELIEFS Transitional Relief Scheme: To support ratepayers facing sharp bill increases at the revaluation, the government is introducing a redesigned Transitional Relief Scheme worth £3. 2 billion. Supporting Small Business Scheme (SSB): For businesses losing some or all of their small business rates relief or rural rate relief. Bills will be capped at £800, or the relevant transitional relief caps from 1 April 2026. The 2026 SSB relief scheme has been expanded to ratepayers losing their Retail, Hospitality and Leisure (RHL)...

" Matt Collingwood, Managing Director, VIQU IT Celebrating 10 years of partnership Founded in 2014 in Birmingham by Matt Collingwood and four other colleagues, VIQU IT is an IT recruitment agency offering IT and technical recruiting services to businesses and organisations from SMEs and start-ups, through to established household names. TC BSN has been supporting companies with their IT recruitment for over 10 years now, and since VIQU IT’s inception, our Oldbury team has been doing the same for VIQU IT. TC BSN's been a cornerstone of their operations since day one. In particular, TC BSN’s Partner, Pippa Miller-Hawkes, has been instrumental to their success. She’s consistently supported the business since their launch to now, with their ongoing growth, group financial planning and strategic development. A strong foundation for success When Matt was first starting to explore the possibility of launching VIQU IT, a piece of advice he was given by multiple entrepreneurs and business owners was to get a really good accountant that could grow with the business. Therefore, he wasn’t looking to partner with an accountant who was right for his business at the beginning, but someone who could transition and grow with them. Matt knew Pippa through his social network, so when he'd initially engaged her to talk about potentially starting a business, he...

Following the Autumn Budget’s reduction in Capital Gains Tax (CGT) relief for Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs), there has been understandable uncertainty among business owners considering employee ownership as a succession route. As members of the Employee Ownership Association (EOA), we closely follow developments affecting the employee ownership sector. In response to the recent changes, the EOA has met with HMRC and the Department for Business and Trade to gain much-needed clarity on how the new rules will work in practice. What’s Changed and What does It Means for Business Owners? The key areas of concern raised by advisers and business owners were: How CGT will now be paid following an EOT sale. What happens if the business underperforms and the deferred consideration cannot be fully paid? Whether the four-year clawback period still makes sense given the reduced tax relief. Encouragingly, HMRC has confirmed that sellers to an EOT can still apply to pay CGT in line with the instalments they receive, rather than all at once. This provides important reassurance for founders who may be relying on future company performance to fund their exit. HMRC has also clarified that where part of the deferred consideration later becomes irrecoverable, for example, if a company fails, vendors may be able to recalculate the tax due, ensuring they are not taxed on money they never received. You can read HMRC's statement here. Ongoing Discussions with Government While some issues, such as the four-year clawback period, would require legislative change, discussions are continuing with...

The 2025 Autumn Budget announced three key Income Tax rate changes, impacting dividends income, savings interest and rental profits over the coming years. While some measures take effect from April 2026, others will follow from April 2027, giving you time to review your position and plan ahead. Alongside the rate increases, the government also confirmed a continued freeze on Income Tax thresholds until 2031. Together these changes will increase the tax liability for business owners, investors and landlords. Below, we outline the key changes and when they come into force. DIVIDENDS From 6 April 2025, HMRC introduced new self assessment reporting requirements for individuals who are directors and shareholders of close companies, requiring additional information to be provided on the tax return. The dividend allowance remains £500. What’s changing this year? From April 2026, the basic rate and higher rate of tax on dividends will increase by two percentage points. The additional rate will remain unchanged. The amount of tax you’ll pay on dividends (above the £500 allowance) depends on your Income Tax band. Dividend tax rates from April 2026 will be: Basic rate taxpayer: 10. 75% Higher rate taxpayer: 35. 75% Additional rate taxpayer: 39. 35% It’s worth noting dividend tax doesn’t apply to investments held in a Stocks & Shares ISA, Junior ISA, Lifetime ISA, or pension.

January is often a good time for business owners to take stock and review their finances. With a new year underway, it’s an ideal opportunity to assess costs, review supplier arrangements, and plan ahead for the months to come. Taking the time now to understand your cash position can help you avoid unexpected pressures later in the year and put your business on a stronger footing. Cash flow is an important part of any business. Even profitable companies can experience difficulties if cash isn’t coming in at the right time. Keeping track of your cash position should always be a priority, but for many business owners, finding the time can be a challenge. As the saying goes, cash is king, and having a clear plan to ensure money flows into your business when you need it is essential for long-term stability and growth. What’s Cash Flow? Cash flow refers to the movement of money in and out of your business. It’s typically reviewed over set periods such as monthly, quarterly or annually. If more money is going out than coming in, even for a short period, it can quickly create pressure. Understanding and monitoring the movement of your cash is essential for making informed business decisions. Organise and Plan Ahead Preparing a cash flow forecast is one of the most effective ways to stay in control.

After the much-anticipated Autumn Budget, one key headline was the national living wage and minimum wage increases for workers - therefore impacting business owners. According to the latest announcement from the Low Pay Commission (LPC), the UK’s statutory minimum wage rates will increase from 1 April 2026. WHAT’S THE NATIONAL LIVING INCREASING TO? From 1 April 2026, the national living wage for workers aged 21 and over will increase by 4. 1%, rising from £12. 21 to £12. 71 per hour. This is equivalent to approximately £900 more per year for a full-time employee. what are the new rates INCREASING TO? Minimum wage for those aged 18 to 20 will rise by 8. 5%, increasing from £10. 00 to £10. 85 per hour, which represents around £1,500 extra per year for someone working full-time. For 16 and 17-year-olds, as well as apprentices, the minimum wage will increase by 6%, from £7. 55 to £8. 00 per hour. For visual representation, you can find the new changes happening from April 2026 in the table below: Age / Category New Rate (from April 2026) Increase / Change National Living Wage (21 and over) £12. 71/hr Up 50p (≈ 4. 1%) 18–20 year olds £10. 85/hr Up 85p (≈ 8. 5%) 16–17 year olds £8. 00/hr Up 45p (≈ 6. 0%) Apprentices (under 19 or first year) £8. 00/hr Up 45p (≈ 6. 0%) Under these new changes, it’s worth noting the Accommodation Offset (for employees provided with accommodation) is also increasing to...

For business owners, minimum wage rises are straightforward in theory but in practice, they often trigger errors that can lead to underpayments, HMRC penalties, or unhappy employees. That's why it's important for business owners to not make these top payroll mistakes made after minimum wage increases. Here are the mistakes UK employers most commonly make after a rate change: PAYROLL ERROR 1 – Applying the New Rates on the Wrong Date Minimum wage changes apply from the start of the first pay reference period on or after the effective date. Many businesses incorrectly apply the new rates mid-period or delay them until the next payroll cycle. PAYROLL ERROR 2 – Not Updating Age-Band Changes Employees move into new wage bands automatically when they reach 16, 18, 21, or leave apprenticeship status. A birthday can shift an employee into a higher minimum wage category, but employers often forget to make the adjustment. PAYROLL ERROR 3 – Incorrect Apprenticeship Rate Usage Businesses frequently: Pay the apprentice rate beyond the first year despite the apprentice being over 19, or Apply the apprentice rate when the employee isn’t in an approved apprenticeship. Both can result in underpayment breaches. PAYROLL ERROR 4 – Overlooking Changes to Allowances and Deductions If your business provides accommodation, uniforms, meals, or deductions for equipment, these can affect NMW compliance. Improper deductions can bring take-home pay below minimum wage without the employer realising. PAYROLL ERROR 5 – Failing to Update Payroll Software or Systems Manual spreadsheets or outdated payroll software...

HMRC has issued an update that could change the VAT position for agencies supplying locum doctors and other temporary medical staff. In this blog, we share what HMRC has published, and the potential commercial impact for medical recruiters. Even if you’ve never had to think too hard about VAT before, this one matters because it could affect what you charge, what you can reclaim, and what NHS Trusts may now ask you to repay. What has HMRC published? On 15 December 2025, HMRC published Revenue and Customs brief 9 (2025): VAT liability of the supply of temporary medical staff (locum doctors). The policy paper follows a First-tier Tribunal decision in Isle of Wight NHS Trust and others. HMRC’s updated view is that certain supplies of temporary medical staff (specifically locum doctors in the circumstances covered) are VAT exempt, and HMRC also sets out how to claim a refund of output VAT if you’ve overdeclared it in the past 4 years. The key point for agencies: VAT exemption can sound as simple as “you don’t charge VAT on your sales invoices”. In reality, exemption has a knock-on effect: it can restrict your ability to reclaim VAT on your costs. That is where the commercial impact lands. Why VAT exemption can be bad news for medical recruiters If you make standard-rated sales, you charge VAT to your clients and you can normally reclaim VAT charged to you on your business costs, such as umbrella company costs (subject to the normal VAT rules)....

The 2025 Autumn Budget reduced the Capital Gains Tax relief on Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) transactions from 100% to 50%. Understandably, this has raised questions for owners who were thinking about an EOT as part of their succession plans. However, EOTs continue to provide a strong exit route for many businesses, not just because of tax, but because of the way they protect people, culture, and continuity in the medium to long term. What the change actually means As of November 2025, sellers will now pay tax on half (50%) of the chargeable gain, in essence relating to an effective rate of tax of 12%. Although this represents a reduction in relief, it still compares favourably with a conventional sale, such as a trade sale or management buyout, so many owners will continue to see clear advantages. Importantly, the tax rules around employee bonuses remain unchanged, meaning EOT-owned businesses can continue to reward staff with income tax–free bonuses, up to the current annual cap of £3,600 per employee. Why EOTs still work well for Qualifying Businesses CONTROL OF THE PROCESS No need to actively source a buyer, no sales negotiations, and fewer warranties. It’s often a smoother and more predictable transaction through to completion. A TRUSTED HOME FOR THE BUSINESS Ownership stays within the organisation.

For many UK businesses, December brings not only the festive rush but also changes to normal payroll routines. Whether your organisation closes over Christmas, or you simply want to ensure employees are paid before the holiday break, it’s essential to handle early payroll correctly. HMRC has issued a reminder of the permanent easement that applies when employers pay staff earlier than usual over the Christmas period. Staying on top of this ensures your employees are protected — and that you remain fully compliant. If you pay early, you MUST report the normal pay date When paying employees ahead of the usual payday in December, HMRC requires that you continue to report the contractual or normal payment date on your Full Payment Submission (FPS). An example of paying employees early at Christmas If you plan to pay staff on 19 December, but the usual payday is 31 December, you must still report 31 December as the payment date on your FPS. The FPS must be submitted on or before 31 December in this case. This simple step ensures your payroll reporting stays accurate and prevents unintended impacts on employee benefits. Why This Matters Reporting the usual payment date protects employees who receive income-based benefits, such as Universal Credit. If an early payment is recorded incorrectly, it can distort assessment periods and potentially affect current or future benefit entitlements. Correct reporting ensures your team are paid before Christmas and safeguarded from unnecessary complications. Act Now to Keep Payroll Running Smoothly If you...

The Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) tax relief has been reduced but not removed, and so the EOT route will remain a suitable exit strategy for the right businesses. The 2025 Autumn Budget delivered an unexpected shock for business owners considering a sale to an EOT. After the positive changes introduced in the previous Budget, there was no anticipation that the 100% Capital Gains Tax (CGT) relief would be reduced to 50% so soon. Unsurprisingly, this would’ve sparked concern amongst founders who are considering an EOT as their succession route. However, while the relief has been reduced, it shouldn’t be ruled out as the EOT model continues to offer a compelling, tax-efficient, and culturally aligned exit option for the right businesses. Below, we explore what the change means in practice and why the EOT route is still worth considering. What has changed? Under the previous legislation, qualifying business owners selling a controlling interest to an EOT could benefit from a full exemption from CGT on the sale. From 26 November 2025, this exemption reduces to 50%. This means sellers will now pay CGT on half of the gain, the remaining half remains fully exempt, and no changes have been made to the tax-free bonus rules for employees (up to £3,600 per year). While this represents a tightening of the regime, the relief is still significant compared with many alternative exit routes. Why does an EOT still make sense? A Seller Tax Position that Remains Highly Efficient At 50%, the CGT relief...

2025’s Autumn Budget was announced on Wednesday 26 November by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves. The Autumn Budget's been the main talking point across various industries recently with speculation of sweeping tax rises. Putting the Chancellor on the back-foot, this year saw the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) accidentally releasing the economic forecast before the Budget was announced. Our TC Group team have summarised the key headlines, focusing on the tax changes and policy updates that most likely impact you, your business, and your employees. In this blog we cover: Income tax rate changes Income tax thresholds Pensions Electric vehicles National living wage and minimum wage increases ISAs Residential property Capital Allowances and corporation tax Employee Ownership Trusts and Capital Gains Tax Business property Tax Avoidance and loan charge settlement Sugar tax Apprenticeships IHT Income Tax Rate Changes From April 2026 The ordinary rate and upper rate of tax on dividends will increase by 2%. The additional rate of tax on dividends will remain unchanged. The new rates will be 10. 75%, 35. 75% and 39. 35%. From April 2027 Tax on savings income and rental profits will increase by 2% for the basic, higher and additional rates. The new rates will 22%, 42% and 47%.

New disclosures on related parties and dividends From accounting periods starting 1 January 2026, UK small entities applying FRS 102 Section 1A must provide expanded related party disclosures and a new mandatory dividend disclosure. These notes sit within the financial statements and will therefore form part of the record available on public filing. Key points: Related parties: UK small entities must now disclose all related party transactions (not just those “not at arm’s length”), including the nature of the relationship, amounts, balances, terms and any guarantees. They are not required to disclose total key management personnel compensation. Dividends: UK small entities must disclose dividends declared and paid or payable during the period. If an entity presents a Statement of Changes in Equity and has more than one share class, dividends paid (aggregate and per share) are disclosed separately by class. Why now: Post‑Brexit, the FRC used its ability to specify disclosures for UK small entities and expanded Appendix C to Section 1A to reduce judgement and ensure a true and fair view. Directors’ remuneration: There’s no explicit requirement in FRS 102 Section 1A for UK small entities to disclose directors’ remuneration. However, additional information may still be needed to give a true and fair view, and certain transactions with directors outside “key management compensation” may still require disclosure as related party transactions.

When it comes to completing your Self-Assessment Tax Return, knowing which rates, allowances and reliefs apply to you can make a big difference. From personal allowances to savings and dividend rates, we’ve broken down the key figures and thresholds for the current tax year, helping you make the most of what’s available and stay compliant with HMRC’s requirements. INCOME TAX (ENGLAND, WALES AND NORTHERN IRELAND) Personal allowance: £12,570 (tapered by £1 for every £2 of income over £100,000, lost entirely at £125,140). Tax bands: 20% basic 40% higher 45% additional Personal savings allowance: £1,000 (basic rate), £500 (higher rate), £0 (additional rate). The starting rate for savings remains a 0% £5,000 band where non-savings income is low enough (this will decrease as you exceed the personal allowance). Dividend allowance is £500. You only pay tax on any dividend income above the dividend allowance. The rates by tax band are: 75% (basic rate) 75% (higher rate) 35% (additional rate) You do not pay tax on dividends from shares in an ISA. The ISA annual limit remains at £20,000 or £9,000 for a Junior ISA. CAPITAL GAINS Annual exempt amount (individuals) is £3,000. Rates (most assets): 18% (basic rate band) and 24% (higher/additional). Residential property (not eligible for Private Residence Relief): 18% (basic rate band) and 24% (higher/additional). The rates changed part-way through 2024/25; for 2025/26 the above rates apply for the whole year. Note on mid-year change (2024/25): gains realised on or after 30 October 2024 attracted the higher CGT rates introduced...

Who needs to file their tax return? You normally need to send a UK Self-Assessment Tax Return if any of the following apply: You were self-employed or a partner in a partnership You received untaxed income, for example, property income, significant savings interest, dividends above the allowance, foreign income or chargeable capital gains You, or your partner, received child benefit and either of you had an adjusted net income over £60,000 in the year. The high-income child benefit charge (HICBC) applies on a taper and fully withdraws the child benefit by £80,000. PAYE-only high earners: For 2024/25 and later, HMRC has removed the income threshold that previously forced PAYE-only employees to file because of high income. If your affairs are simple and all income is taxed at source, you may not need to file, but other triggers (such as dividends, property income or gains) still apply. Always check HMRC’s tool if unsure. WHAT TO GATHER BEFORE YOU START FILING Create a single folder (digital or paper) and collect the following: Employment: P60, P45 (if you’ve left a job), P11D/P9D or employer statement of benefits. Self-employment: income and expense records, invoices, bank statements, mileage log and details of any capital items. From 2024/25, the cash basis is the default for unincorporated businesses unless you choose accruals. Property: rental statements, mortgage interest, repairs, agent fees and dates for any property purchases/sales. Savings and investments: bank and building society interest, dividend vouchers or statements. Capital gains: contract notes, costs, improvement records, pooling calculations...

As the Labour government faces mounting economic pressures, all eyes turn to the upcoming Autumn Budget on Wednesday 25 November where potential tax rises on inheritance, property, and income are widely anticipated. In this blog we’ll cover the potential changes speculated to be announced, however, caution is advised, as any premature action could result in unnecessary tax exposure if changes do not materialise. We’ll be bringing you the key changes post-Budget in our webinar on Thursday 27 November, where experts from across tax, financial planning and corporate finance will unpack the headlines, share practical insights, and answer your questions. WATCH WEBINAR ON-DEMAND Information true at date of publication: 03/11/2025 CAPITAL GAINS TAX (CGT) There’s speculation that CGT rates may be aligned with income tax rates. Bringing forward asset disposals to before 26 November should lock in current CGT rates and the annual exemption, in case it is reduced further. Remember that the tax point for CGT is usually the exchange date, not completion. Be mindful of “bed and breakfast” rules for share disposals and repurchases within 30 days. INHERITANCE TAX (IHT) Gifting strategies may be impacted. The current 7-year survival rule could be extended to 10 years and/or there could be a lifetime cap on the value of gifts that can be made free of IHT. Consider making gifts before 26 November to look to secure current rules, but be aware of the potential CGT implications for non-cash gifts.

The holiday season’s a great time to thank your employees for their hard work. You can give tax-free Christmas gifts to you team by following the "trivial benefits" rules. The Rules on Trivial Benefits A gift to an employee is tax free as a trivial benefit if it meets these key conditions: It costs £50 or less per employee, including VAT. It is not cash or a cash voucher. It is not a reward for a specific service or under a salary sacrifice scheme. No Limit (Mostly): There’s no limit on the number of trivial benefits you can provide to staff in a year. Director's Cap: Directors of 'close' companies face an annual £300 cap on the total value of trivial benefits they can receive. It’s provided on a special occasion, such as Christmas. For example, a hamper, a bottle of wine, or a gift card for a retail store (not redeemable for cash) would all qualify as a trivial benefit, as long as the cost is £50 or less. Why not give two? This trivial benefit exemption means that it could be more beneficial to you to perhaps give more than one gift costing less than £50 each, instead of one gift that costs more than £50. For example, if you were to gift a turkey costing £45 and a bottle of wine costing £35, both gifts would fall within the trivial benefits exemptions (subject to the annual cap for close companies). But if you were to gift a...

Over 750,000 18 to 23 year-olds have yet to claim their matured Child Trust Funds, according to HMRC. The accounts are, on average, worth £2,242 each. Child Trust Funds are long term, tax-free savings accounts which were set up for children born between 1 September 2002 and 2 January 2011 with an initial government deposit of at least £250. Young people can access the trust fund from 16 years-old, but once the account holder turns 18, it matures. They can decide whether they want to withdraw the money or re-invest it. Child Trust Funds can be found via the GOV. UK locator tool using their date of birth and National Insurance Number. More than 563,000 young people went online to find their Child Trust Fund in the 12 months to the end of August 2025, says HMRC. September 2024 was the busiest month when over 71,000 searches were submitted. Shelley Doorey-Williams, CEO of the London Foundation for Banking & Finance said: "As a committed member of the YFCG (Youth Financial Capability Group), the London Foundation for Banking & Finance welcomes HMRC’s call for young people to claim their Child Trust Fund savings. It’s encouraging to see the Government making efforts to reunite people with money they may not even realise was theirs. With an estimated average of £2,242 waiting in unclaimed accounts, this is real money at a crucial time, that can help young people right at the start of their financial lives.

Payroll Giving is a simple way to make a big difference. There are many ways people choose to support charities; through donations, volunteering, fundraising or giving goods. One of the most sustainable and effective methods is Payroll Giving. Payroll Giving allows employees to donate directly from their gross salary (before tax is deducted). Because the donation’s taken before tax, employees benefit from immediate tax relief. For example, if you’re a basic rate taxpayer, a £1 donation costs you just 80p. Higher rate taxpayers pay 60p for every £1, and additional rate taxpayers only 55p. The charity, however, still receives the full £1. This makes Payroll Giving an easy and affordable way for staff to support the causes they care about, while providing charities with a reliable and regular source of income. In fact, in 2023/24 employees donated over £125 million through Payroll Giving, highlighting just how powerful this form of giving can be. Employers can even choose to match donations, further increasing the impact. For businesses, Payroll Giving’s simple to set up, free to run, and it can strengthen your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) profile. It also shows your people and your wider community that you’re a socially conscious employer. It’s a small change that can have a big effect on staff engagement, loyalty and overall company culture. Compared to Gift Aid, Payroll Giving can also be less of an administrative burden for charities. While Gift Aid means charities receive more money per donation, it requires them to claim back...

When an employee falls ill and is unable to work, Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) is a legal right that provides financial support during their absence. For employers and payroll professionals, understanding how SSP works and how it fits into payroll processes is essential for compliance and employee wellbeing. The government has announced plans that from April 2026, the main changes to SSP will be the abolition of the three-day waiting period, meaning SSP will be paid from day one of sickness, and the removal of the Lower Earnings Limit (LEL), making more employees eligible for SSP. Additionally, for those employees who earn below the current LEL, their SSP will be calculated at 80% of their usual weekly earnings, or the government-set flat rate, whichever is lower. In this blog, we’ll break down the key elements of SSP, including eligibility, rates, duration, and your responsibilities as a business owner. What Is Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)? Statutory Sick Pay is the minimum amount employers must pay employees who are off work due to illness. It’s a government-mandated payment, and employers are responsible for administering it through their payroll system. Who Is Eligible for SSP? Employees must meet the following criteria to qualify for SSP: Be classed as an employee and have done some work for the employer Earn an average of at least £125 per week (as of the 2025/26 tax year) Have been off sick for 4 or more consecutive days (including non-working days) Employees on fixed-term, part-time, or zero-hours contracts...

Holiday pay isn’t just a benefit, it’s a legal requirement for UK employers. Yet despite its importance, calculating and administering holiday pay can be surprisingly complex, especially with evolving employment patterns such as zero-hours contracts, part-time workers, and irregular hours. In this blog, we’ll break down everything UK employers and payroll professionals need to know, from statutory entitlements to calculation methods and common payroll challenges. What Is Holiday Pay? Holiday pay is the payment an employee receives when they take time off as part of their paid annual leave. It ensures employees are not financially disadvantaged when taking their statutory (or contractual) holiday entitlement. Statutory Holiday Entitlement Under the Working Time Regulations 1998, most workers in the UK are legally entitled to 5. 6 weeks of paid holiday per year, which is 28 days for someone working 5 days a week This can include bank holidays, but employers are not legally required to provide paid time off for them; it's up to the employment contract. Part-time workers are entitled to pro-rata holiday based on the number of days or hours they work. Who Is Entitled? Holiday pay must be provided to: Full-time and part-time employees Casual workers Zero-hours contract workers Agency workers Even workers with irregular hours or part-year contracts (e. g. term-time only) have the right to paid holiday, which must be calculated based on average earnings. How is it calculated? Holiday pay should reflect normal pay, which includes: Basic pay Regular overtime Commission Bonuses Shift premiums Since 2019,...

The newly announced Small Business Plan is a strong signal that UK Government is serious about backing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). From tougher rules on late payments to streamlined access to funding, the plan aims to tackle many of the longstanding challenges holding businesses back. Here are four key areas of the plan: Stronger Late Payment Protections Late payments remain one of the biggest threats to SME cash flow, often causing unnecessary strain on operations and growth. The Government plans to introduce some of the toughest reforms in a generation, including: A 30-day invoice verification period and maximum payment terms, to ensure quicker processing. Mandatory interest charges for overdue invoices. New audit committee oversight in large firms to review payment practices. Expanded powers for the Small Business Commissioner to impose fines, conduct audits, and hold large firms accountable. These reforms would aim to level the playing field and ensure small businesses are paid promptly, giving them more confidence and control when dealing with larger customers.

New strategic partnership delivers full-service advisory support ‘under one roof’, from property and tax to R&D and succession planning. Silverstone Composites, one of the UK’s most forward-thinking advanced materials company, has joined forces with national business advisory and accountancy firm TC Group in a major new partnership designed to accelerate its growth, strengthen its financial position, and support long-term succession planning. The move signals an exciting chapter for Silverstone Composites, which has successfully gained recognition for its cutting-edge work in the motorsport, aerospace, and bespoke sectors. With a team of specialist engineers and a glowing reputation for innovation, the company’s now poised to expand operations following strategic support from TC Group across Property, HR, Tax, R&D, Accounts, and Corporate Finance. The relationship was reignited when Silverstone Composites Director Marcus Trofimov reconnected with Stephen Henson, now Associate Director of Client Services at TC Group. The pair first met during Stephen’s tenure at Barclays, and that initial rapport laid the groundwork for a far-reaching business advisory partnership. “What I realised very early on,” said Marcus, “is that you can’t do this alone. You can be the person who takes the leap of faith, who has the idea and the drive — but you need the right people around you. TC Group brings deep expertise, honesty, and a genuine understanding of what makes a business succeed. ” Among the most immediate wins from the partnership so far has been TC Group’s role in helping secure Silverstone Composites’ new premises at the prestigious Silverstone...

From 1 January 2026, significant changes to UK GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) will come into force, with a particular focus on revenue recognition and lease accounting. These updates align Sections 23 and 20 more closely with international standards - IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 -and will require proactive planning from finance teams. If your business prepares financial statements under UK GAAP, now is the time to start preparing. What’s Changing to uk gaap? Revenue Recognition (Section 23) The revised Section 23 introduces a five-step model for revenue recognition, designed to bring greater consistency and transparency. Businesses most likely to be affected include: Construction and long-term contract providers Service-based businesses Companies offering bundled contracts These changes will likely affect how and when revenue is recognised—potentially impacting earnings, key metrics, and even your tax position. Lease Accounting (Section 20) Under the new rules, all leases must be recognised on the balance sheet, reflecting the full financial commitment of the business. This means: Greater transparency around liabilities Potential implications for financial covenants A more complex accounting process requiring detailed lease data While the UK approach may include some practical exemptions to ease the transition, this still represents a significant shift for many. Enhanced Disclosure Requirements Smaller companies will also be expected to meet stricter disclosure rules to provide a more complete, true and fair view of their financial position. Why It Matters These changes are far-reaching. They could impact: Earnings and dividend planning Earnouts in business sales Financial covenants with lenders Stakeholder...

What are the Pillar 2 Requirements? The OECD’s Pillar 2 framework is designed to ensure that multinational enterprises (MNEs) pay a minimum level of tax on their profits (an effective tax rate of at least 15%) in each jurisdiction that they operate within. Compliance with these regulations is essential to avoid penalties and ensure smooth operations. Applicability of Pillar 2 Rules Groups fall into the Pillar 2 rules if they meet certain criteria, including having a group consolidated turnover of EUR 750 million or more in two of the previous four year. It’s important to assess whether your group meets this threshold to determine your obligations under the Pillar 2 framework. Reporting Requirements As with most transfer pricing related topics, Pillar 2 needs to be spearheaded by the group’s head office who will be in a better position to assess worldwide obligations and reporting requirements. For example, if the ultimate parent entity (UPE) is based in Germany, we anticipate that for main Pillar 2 worldwide calculations/assessments and the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Information Return (GIR) will be submitted annually in Germany. UK reporting requirements Pillar 2 Registration: There’s a one-time requirement for the ultimate parent entity (UPE) or a nominated filing member (e. g. a UK limited company) to register with HMRC within six months of coming into scope of the rules. For example, groups with a 31 December 2024 year end who already meet the turnover requirement must have already registered by 30 June 2025. Annual returns: For groups...

TC GROUP’S SOUTHAMPTON OFFICE MOVES TO LARGER PREMISES TO SUPPORT CONTINUED GROWTH TC Group, an Accountancy Age Top 20 firm of business advisors and accountants, has relocated its Southampton office to significantly larger premises, following a period of sustained expansion and ongoing strategic growth across both the region and the UK. The move comes as the Southampton team outgrew its previous space. Now based at New Kings Court in Tollgate, the new office offers greater flexibility for collaboration, client meetings, and continued team growth. Fraser Akehurst, Director at TC Group, shared: “Our office at Ocean Village Innovation Centre served us well, but we’d simply outgrown it. Our new setup’s a better fit for how our team works today – flexibly and collaboratively. ” The relocation reflects both increasing demand for TC Group’s joined-up, practical advice across the region, and the firm’s wider commitment to investing in regional teams and infrastructure. It ensures colleagues have the space, tools, and environment they need to thrive and continue delivering excellent client service. “We’ve always focused on creating a workplace where people do their best work and clients feel fully supported. This move helps us keep doing exactly that – just with more space and even better facilities,” Fraser added. VIEW TC GROUP SOUTHAMPTON

The UK’s Employment Rights Bill roadmap has been announced, ushering in major employment reforms that could herald the most significant uplift in workers’ protections in a generation. Part of the ‘Make Work Pay’ plan, it aims to modernise employment law, improve job security, and raise working standards. As the Government moves through the final legislative stages, now is the time for businesses and employees to get informed and be prepared. WHAT’S CHANGING? The Employment Rights Bill includes: Day‑one employment rights: Employees gain immediate protections like unfair dismissal claims*, parental leave, sick pay, bereavement leave, and the right to request flexible working Zero‑hours contract overhaul: Workers on gig-style contracts must now be offered guaranteed hours and fair shift-notice rights - including agency staff - to curb exploitative practices Ban on “fire and rehire”: Employers may no longer unilaterally terminate and rehire staff on inferior terms, except in truly exceptional circumstances WHEN DOES IT START? Late 2025 Royal Assent (expected post summer recess 2025) – Immediate or near-immediate effect: Repeal of Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023. Repeal of most of the Trade Union Act 2016. Removal of 10-year ballot renewal requirement for political funds. Simplified industrial action ballot notice requirements. Protection from dismissal for participating in industrial action. Measures that will take effect in April 2026 include: Maximum collective redundancy protective award doubled (90 → 180 days’ pay). Service requirement removed for paternity leave and unpaid parental leave – making them a day one right for employees. New whistleblowing protection for...

Practical steps to grow small businesses through exports. Exports already account for around 30% of UK gross domestic product (GDP), and the government wants the share to rise further by helping more small businesses sell overseas. In the 2024 Autumn Statement, ministers renewed the goal of lifting UK exports to £1 trillion a year by 2030. Although the headline target often makes the news, the real shift will come from the thousands of owner-managed businesses that decide to quote for an order in Dublin, Dubai, or Denver for the first time. The latest Business Insights survey from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that 22% of UK firms with 10 or more staff shipped goods, services or both abroad in the 12 months to April 2025. The same dataset suggests that a further 9% expect to start exporting within the next year. Cheap cloud software, predictable customs processes and direct-to-consumer platforms mean that geography limits fewer firms than before. Of course, every extra customer, currency and border adds work. Directors must prove product compliance, hold export evidence for VAT, and protect cashflow against longer settlement periods. That is where TC Group comes in, offering clear, specific guidance that reflects current tax rules and funding schemes. Why exporting still matters for SMEs A larger export base lifts national output and improves productivity, and the opportunity is tangible even for smaller firms. Market potential: Exports give a micro business access to customers whose combined spending power far exceeds that of the...

Audit as a profession has been in a holding pattern in recent decades. Large businesses obliged to undergo statutory audit on a regular basis, combined with a relatively tight market of firms with the scale and expertise to conduct audits at the quality required by regulators, has led to predictable results. While the short term windfall for accounting firms is no doubt welcome for auditors, the long term view of fewer firms conducting squeezed audits benefits no one. However, change is on the horizon. Audit's an area where growth in the scale, popularity and sophistication of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have the potential to be much more than buzzwords or passing trends. A 2024 report found that audit fees for UK-listed companies rose by 75% over the past five years. The cause? A lack of competition, tougher regulation and an increasing shortage of skills. With demands on the profession growing, firms are effectively tasked with carrying out increasingly detailed reviews with fewer resources. AI and ML offer practical solutions that can help tackle some of the most time-consuming and mundane aspects of our work, like data gathering and initial analysis, freeing up time to focus on more strategic and higher risk tasks. However, it’s clear that many people aren’t fully aware of how these tools can be applied in our day-to-day work. Let's take this opportunity to explore how AI and ML can transform the profession and why it's something people should be paying close attention to....

After leading marketing at Gala Bingo and facing redundancy, she took a bold leap into business ownership. Water coolers. Now there’s a niche idea. It’s something Tanya had seen done well in America and felt there was real value in bringing it to the UK, especially in the Midlands. From humble beginnings, Water at Work hit the ground running. Growth came slowly, but steadily, and Tanya liked it that way. “My philosophy’s always been not to expand too fast or borrow too much. I’ve always focused on developing within our capabilities and prioritising service over size. ” And that philosophy paid off. While competitors have come and gone, Water at Work has flourished - organically growing into a business with nearly £1 million in turnover, a loyal customer base, and an engaged and happy team, some of whom have worked with Tanya for more than 25 years. But behind every thriving business is a network of trusted partners. For Water at Work, one of those critical partners has been TC Group. Tanya first connected with TC Group more than a decade ago while searching for a new accountant who truly understood the needs of an SME. “I was looking for a new accountant based in the Midlands when we set up here. I just couldn’t find one that felt like they were on the same wavelength...

The State Pension remains a foundation of retirement income for millions across the UK. Although private pensions and other investments often play a significant part in retirement plans, the State Pension provides a consistent baseline of support. Changes set for the 2025/26 tax year have prompted questions about how much pensioners will receive, how the system affects those who are planning to retire soon, and what individuals can do to stay informed. This guide addresses these questions and offers an overview of the updated State Pension system. Overview of the new State Pension The UK introduced the “new State Pension” for people who reach State Pension age on or after 6 April 2016. This new system replaced the old basic State Pension and additional State Pension (sometimes called SERPs or S2P). Its goal was to simplify retirement benefits and make them more transparent, but several changes have occurred over the years. Under the new State Pension, you need at least ten “qualifying years” of National Insurance (NI) contributions to receive anything. You typically need 35 qualifying years to receive the full new State Pension. These are broad guidelines; some people who paid or received NI credits under the old system may have special situations, so it’s worth checking your own NI record to confirm your status. From April 2025, the UK government will continue to determine State Pension amounts according to policies in place at that time. Although the official weekly figure for 2025/26 will depend on economic factors like...

Phase 2 of HMRC's 'Making Tax Digital' (MTD) Campaign is underway, bringing self-employed business owners and landlords into the digital tax regime. MTD's set to change how accounting records are kept and managed, by making tax returns simpler and more efficient for everyone. We're here to guide you through the important changes and help prepare you on the upcoming changes that may impact you and your business from April 2026. MAKING TAX DIGITAL: RECAP In a nutshell, Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT came into play on 1st April 2019, requiring VAT registered businesses above the current turnover threshold of £85k, to do away with manual or Excel-based recording systems to submit VAT data to HMRC. This phase is now including MTD for Income Tax. Instead, returns are to be submitted digitally. It’s one of the largest and most significant changes to tax legislation we’ve seen for decades and will most certainly have an impact across the accounting industry. For businesses, the aim of MTD is to simplify ‘getting tax right’. Whilst that sounds ideal, in reality, there will be a lot of learnings and new procedures to follow as HMRC progresses its MTD roadmap. WHO'S AFFECTED BY MTD & What's the criteria? Self-employed individuals and landlords with a qualifying income above £20,000 will be affected. The date at which you're affected varies. What's qualifying income? Qualifying income is the Total Turnover plus Gross Rent. This is turnover excluding VAT and before any expenses are considered. When am I affected?...

HMRC has recently released updated guidance on Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs), marking a significant step forward in the evolving landscape of employee ownership. The new guidance reflects ongoing engagement with the sector and introduces important clarifications, while also highlighting a few areas where further updates may emerge. Whether you're contemplating an exit through an EOT, in the process of transitioning to an EOT or already running an employee-owned business, understanding the latest guidance can help you make informed, future-focused decisions. Progress and Points to Keep in Mind Following consultation with key stakeholders, including the Employee Ownership Association (EOA) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT), the new guidance offers enhanced clarity on several elements of EOTs. While some questions remain, these represent opportunities for further refinement as employee ownership continues to grow and mature in the UK. 1. Trustee Independence: Strengthening Governance The emphasis on trustee independence underscores the importance of strong governance within EOTs. While some details still need to be clarified, this shift encourages businesses to take a thoughtful approach when appointing and supporting trustees. Planning for trustee succession and ensuring alignment with your business’s long-term goals can help safeguard your EOT and support a stable future. The focus of the guidance is to ensure that the trustees are independent of the former owners. In addition, the former owners cannot indirectly control or influence the company going forward through family members. 2. Distributions and Employee Bonuses: Encouraging Fair Reward The guidance clarifies how distributions should be handled, reaffirming...

The Autumn Budget has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to research and development (R&D) as a cornerstone of long-term economic growth and innovation. As the UK navigates global competition and rapid technological change, the Budget outlined significant public investment in R&D, signalling a clear intent to future-proof the economy and support breakthrough innovation across sectors. Whilst the overall scheme didn’t materially change in the February-March period, there’s been a large increase in funding for the scheme. At the heart of the announcement is a substantial £20. 4 billion allocation for R&D investment in 2025/26. This includes at least £6. 1 billion dedicated to core research, helping to ensure that the UK’s most innovative companies continue to have their R&D activities incentivised. This funding is designed to foster world-class research environments and to support the institutions and researchers who drive them. WHAT ARE THE KEY AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT? A particularly notable development is the introduction of a new multi-year R&D Missions Programme, backed by £25 million in 2025/26. While details are still emerging, the programme is expected to focus on aligning research with pressing national priorities such as clean energy, health tech, and advanced manufacturing. Health research also receives a meaningful uplift, with a real-terms increase in funding for the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). This commitment recognises the vital role of health innovation in both improving public wellbeing and reducing long-term pressures on the NHS.

One of the key points that came out of the 2024 Autumn budget was the impending changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR) that will significantly impact the way individuals manage their estates and plan for Inheritance Tax (IHT). As both reliefs become more restrictive, and owners of farms - or other businesses - will need to reassess their strategies to mitigate IHT liabilities. The current maximum 100% relief rate will only be available for the first £2. 5m* of combined agricultural and business assets. Any value above this threshold will be subject to a reduced relief rate of 50%, resulting in an effective tax rate of 20%. What’s the Impact on Estate Planning? Increased IHT Liabilities: The most immediate effect of these changes will be an increase in IHT liabilities for many individuals. If agricultural land or business assets are no longer eligible for full relief, owners could face a higher tax burden. Asset Valuation: Without the APR or BPR exemptions, farm or business assets could significantly inflate the value of an estate, triggering a larger tax bill. Retirement or Succession Planning: The reforms could impact the ability to pass on agricultural or business assets to the next generation without incurring substantial IHT. Owners who were counting on these reliefs as part of their strategy may need to rethink their approach, especially if they intended to leave the farm or business to family members. What are the Key Strategies to Mitigate the Impact? Review Ownership...
