Many business owners have better insurance for their mobile phone and photocopier than they do for the future sustainability of their business. They simply do not insure against the death of themselves, business partners or other key staff. This means a business built up over many years could be vulnerable to events outside the owner’s control. Anyone owning a business should therefore read our article on business protection.

We include another article that will be of interest to any taxpayer paying education costs out of taxed income. Rachael Dronfield explains how it may be possible to fund education costs more tax efficiently.

The Autumn Statement is just around the corner so we asked some our senior tax team to discuss what changes they would like to see to the tax system and there is a further reminder about pre year-end tax planning ideas for
businesses and companies approaching their financial year end.

Other articles this month give advice on tax free Christmas gifts for staff, an update on our new Sheffield office and how businesses paying to clear up contaminated land can claim extra tax relief.
