There's lots on the tax agenda in the Shorthouse & Martin The Spring Newsletter 2025 →.
Rachel Reeves has promised to hold only one ‘fiscal event’ each year. We are therefore not expecting major tax announcements in the Spring Statement, despite the recent promise to raise Defence spending significantly.
However, many tax changes are mow scheduled for April and others for a year later, so you can’t take your eyes off the tax ball without it potentially costing you dearly. In this newsletter, we look at the impact of some of these changes as well as keeping you up to date with other developments.
If you would like to discuss what it all means for you, we will be happy to help.
In the Shorthouse & Martin Making Tax Digital Guide → we will remind you of the existing Making Tax Digital for VAT rules (which now apply for all VAT-registered businesses), before explaining what lies ahead with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment.

Financial Affairs Annual Review
We recommend you undertake an annual review of your financial affairs, in order to check that you are not paying more tax than you need to and whether the structures you set up in the past are still appropriate.
Of course, the personal circumstances of each individual must be taken into account in deciding whether any particular plan is suitable or advantageous, but these suggestions may give you some ideas. We are happy to discuss them with you in more detail.
All newsletters and content are written for the benefit of our clients. Further advice should be obtained before any action is taken.
