The Tax Factor - Episode 72 - Big Tax Receipts, Big borrowing and even bigger decisions needed by the Chancellor

This week on The Tax Factor, Paul Haywood-Schiefer and Tom Goddard begin with a roundup of the Top 3 tax stories making headlines, before turning their attention to the key developments shaping the tax landscape this week.

Attention turned to the Chancellor’s Spring Statement, where Tom outlines the key takeaways from what ultimately proved to be more of a financial update than a platform for new tax measures. With no tax changes announced, they discuss what this absence of policy tweaks means for taxpayers and advisers.

To round things up Paul gives insight on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and explores the potential tax implications that could arise from global instability - from economic pressures and government spending to the broader effects on international tax policy.
