The government's records for the past 12 months to March 2022 showed that consumer prices have risen as much as 13.4% in some sectors. This is much higher than the 9% reported a few weeks ago.

So the business owner can safely steer the business through a recession or downturn.

Expert Tax Accountants with high street branches

On the 23rd March 2022 the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced the UK goverments mini budget. With a long speech and pages and pages of information. We did the hard work and went through the whole report to get to the bare facts and save our clients time and sanity. Listing the important and relevant points below:

From the 6th July 2022 (6/7/22 to 5/4/23) the threshold at which National Insurance payments start will rise to £12,570 from £9,568 (in 21/22 tax year). Importantly it means the NI threshold will not rise from 6th April 2022 but 4 months later, so higher NI will still be payable from 6/4/22 to 5/7/22.
Employers National Insurance threshold will rise from £4000 to £5000 from 6th April 2022 onwards.
Temporary tax cut by 5p per litre, for both petrol and diesel vehicles, starting from 6pm on 23 March 2022 to 22 March 2023 (12 months).
Drop to zero VAT (from 5%) on energy-saving equipment including solar panels, heat pumps and insulation as energy bills surge. This will last for up to 5 years. Does not mention about fitting labour costs which may still have 20% VAT applied.
Promise to cut the basic rate of income tax from 20% to 19% from April 2024.
Temporary £1 Million Annual Investment Allowance is extended to 31st March 2023. Which allows businesses to deduct qualifying plant and machinery (not cars) in one against taxable profit go up to a limit of £200k.
Help to Grow: Digital; offering eligible SME's a 50% discount on approved software worth maximum of £5000 per business.
