KEY TAKEAWAYS

●     The UK´s growth year to date has been lower than for most of the world´s large economies.

●     Interest rates are set to fall, but slowly.

●     Outsourcing some roles can help to reduce the impact of the NI changes.

●     All businesses will be impacted by inheritance tax, not just farms. Planning ahead so that those who are due to inherit have the cash available to pay the tax bill matters, especially when it comes to business continuity.

●     The capital gains tax rates were 10 and 20%, they were increased to 18 and 24%. Selling assets earlier can help to minimise the impact of this change.

●     Investigate the use of Substantial Shareholding Exemptions (SSE) and group structures to help to reduce tax when assets are sold.

●     Having an exit plan for your business is now vital.

●     When budgetary changes are announced, always review the impact it will have on your business and future plans.

●     Hone your cashflow monitoring processes.
