This week on the Tax Factor Heather Self is joined by Blick Rothenberg CEO Nimesh Shah. The hot topic this week is Inheritance Tax, with the media reporting that it is potentially going to be abolished by Rishi Sunak. Both Heather and Nimesh unsurprisingly have their own views on whether that should happen and what it would mean.

They then review the recent Bluecrest Tax Tribunal Upper Tier ruling and finally lament that, along with many other individuals and businesses, it looks like tax advisors will be spending longer enjoying the HMRC hold music this coming winter.

The Tax Factor – Episode 9 - No surprise this week – It’s all about inheritance Tax

In this special episode of The Tax Factor, CEO Nimesh Shah is joined by tax expert Dan Neidle to look ahead to the Autumn Budget and examine some of the key tax issues facing the Government.

The pair discuss whether further tax rises are really needed, the pressures created by an ageing population and the pensions triple lock, as well as potential changes to Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax and the FIG regime.

Nimesh and Dan also consider what a simpler UK tax system could look like and why, after years of tax changes and speculation, a boring Budget with no gimmicks might be exactly what the UK needs.

The Tax Factor – Autumn Budget Preview Special

This special summer edition of The Tax Factor sees CEO Nimesh Shah joined by Heather Self to analyse one of the most discussed and often misunderstood issues in UK tax policy: the tax gap. Together, they explore what the tax gap actually measures, why it matters, and what the latest HMRC figures reveal about the health of the UK tax system.

The discussion challenges some common assumptions, including the belief that large multinational businesses are the primary drivers of lost tax revenue. Instead, Nimesh and Heather examine where the tax gap really sits, the role of small businesses, and whether initiatives such as Making Tax Digital, increased compliance activity and whistleblowing measures can help improve tax collection over the long term.

They also look at the political backdrop, with a potential change of Chancellor on the horizon and growing pressure on the public finances. Could tackling the tax gap provide a solution, or is the reality far more complicated?
