Some firms will be winners, some losers following the Chancellor’s summer budget, a compulsive game of chance we’ve come to expect by now. Will the new national living wage burn a hole in your payroll? Will the road tax shake-up raise your transport costs? And what about the tax raid under changes to the dividend taxation system?
The only certainty is that the companies which do stand to lose out will already be exercising their ingenuity to minimise any damage. It’s the captain’s duty after all to steer the ship through any hazards, however unexpected. Lawyer Robert Langley can vouch for that, as you’ll gather from his admission in this BQ that away from the desk it’s a sailor’s life for him. As for the conditions out there, it’s an ill wind that blows no accountant any good.
