Why attend?
The 2025 Autumn Budget is expected to arrive against a challenging backdrop – with talk of tighter public finances, possible tax burden increases, and a renewed push for productivity and growth. For business owners, this means:
-
Watching for tax-planning opportunities, such as timing of profits or use of reliefs
-
Preparing for a tighter tax environment, where cost control and cash-flow planning are key
-
Considering how possible reforms might affect business structures and investments
Staying updated on the latest fiscal policies is essential for business success, particularly when it comes to understanding tax changes that could affect your bottom line. In addition to expert analysis, both events offer the chance to network with other local businesses, creating valuable connections while enjoying a complimentary breakfast.
