Welcome to issue 20 of In Focus. We are living in unprecedented times. The world is in lockdown but we are inadvertently presented with an opportunity to reflect on probably the most important matters faced for a generation.
Vicky Link Partner Specialism: Accountancy
Three months ago, following the general election and then Brexit, after three years of uncertainty we found ourselves in a place where it felt that we could all move forward with our lives. The stock market was performing well, negotiations for the next part of Brexit planned and the first budget for 18 months was due to be delivered. Little did we know the huge impact that Coronavirus was going to have on the world! Since then a number of businesses have temporarily closed as we entered lockdown and the Government has announced unprecedented economic support for businesses and individuals. Our tax team has pulled together a roundup of the measures announced in the Budget and more recently on pages 4-6. This period of time will enable us all to reflect, to consider how the changes forced upon us may help us to make improvement in the future, perhaps this will result in increased homeworking, a stronger business plan or more resilient finances. With that in mind Gina highlights the benefits of Research and Development
Rob Case Partner Specialism: Tax
Tax credits and the cash that can be generated as a result of innovation, which is showcased by our guest article from Protrack Solutions and Will sets out some questions to help formulate a great plan, both articles an important read at this time. As usual we are always pleased to celebrate our fabulous staff with their news and announcements especially at a time that we are all socially distanced. I am concerned about the future, as we all are, but it is heartening to see communities pulling together in providing support to one another and I know we will all emerge stronger and more resilient as a result. This period of time will enable us all to reflect, to consider how the changes forced upon us may help us tomake improvement in the future
