As we approach the upcoming budget announcement on October 30, one key takeaway from the recent statement by Chancellor Rachel Reeves is the government's commitment to tackling tax non-compliance. The new measures include increasing HMRC’s resources and focusing on reducing fraud and tax avoidance. This enhanced enforcement could mean more scrutiny and potentially increased compliance costs for businesses and individuals alike. It’s crucial to stay informed and prepared as these developments unfold. At Dunkley's, we're here to help you navigate these changes and ensure your financial plans align with the evolving tax changes.
