Matthew Radcliffe (Charles Russell Speechlys) explains why the not so ‘mini-Budget’ will draw close attention from private clients and intermediaries around the world.
There was undoubtedly some good news for business owners, although few specific tax incentives for business owners to invest. Jonathan Hickman (BDO) reports.

The chancellor’s growth plan is reminiscent of Barber’s ‘dash for growth’ 50 years ago. That does not bode well, warns economist Duncan Weldon.
