The Chancellor announced important changes to corporate and business taxation in the 2011 Budget. The new legislation dealing with disguised remuneration is complex, running to over 60 pages and many practitioners fear that its consequences have not been considered in detail by the government. Our March webinar will consider the new rules and explore other changes due to take place in employment taxation, including Real Time Information.
In order to ensure that British businesses remain competitive, the government
has extended tax relief for research and development to 200% for SMEs and ‘start ups’. Separately, it is also planning to introduce a Patent Box regime in 2012, giving businesses which develop, manufacture and exploit patents in the UK preferential treatment. Our April and September webinars will examine each of these, ensuring that you can provide your clients with the advice to ensure they take full advantage of these opportunities.
