Milsted Langdon weighs the Autumn Budget for established businesses

← The Journal

The Berkeley Square accountants welcome the breathing room, yet caution that the Budget's enthusiasm for start-ups leaves older firms waiting.

Within hours of the Chancellor sitting down, our members at Milsted Langdon had published their reading of the Autumn Budget, and it is a measured one.

Tax Partner Rob Chedzoy welcomes the drive to encourage entrepreneurs and the higher Business Rates threshold, which takes roughly 70,000 businesses out of liability. He also raises a quiet concern: that more established firms, facing a higher National Living Wage and a reduced Business Asset Disposal Relief allowance for owners planning an exit, have been somewhat overlooked.

A thoughtful read for any owner-manager, and a fine example of advice offered before it is asked for. The full commentary is on the Milsted Langdon website.
