2014 has been a busy year both at Shorts and in the world of finance generally. The recent Autumn Statement saw some interesting announcements and tax has been at the top of the political agenda all year. This will surely continue as we approach the General Election next year. The recovery in the economy continues and we have certainly seen encouraging signs locally with many businesses feeling more confident and taking positive steps to grow.

As businesses seek to grow and improve, it really is essential that they are aware of all the tax and other legislation that affects them to both take advantage of opportunities and consider any risks. As such and with Christmas nearly upon us, we thought that it would be useful to look back over recent news items and give you 12 business tips for Christmas.
