💼 Autumn Budget 2024: Key Takeaways for UK FinTechs Today’s Budget brings important updates for the UK FinTech sector. 🔗 Read our analysis and key points for FinTech https://lnkd.in/d7KYEKxS #FinTech #VoiceOfFinTech #FinTechPolicy #AutumnBudget #Budget2024

Commenting on the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Budget today, our CEO Janine Hirt said: “This Budget was always going to be a challenging balancing act between stimulating growth and fixing public finances. We understand that difficult decisions have to be made and we welcome the government’s commitment towards increasing investment and stimulating job creation.  We note however that the changes to CGT and to BADR, the knock on effect on EMI incentives which enable smaller firms to attract talent, and the increase in Employer National Insurance will increase costs and reduce incentives for entrepreneurs to start and grow businesses, impacting the competitiveness of the UK. We therefore now need to turbocharge the UK business environment to rebalance this. As a global leader and a driver of growth and productivity across the country, our UK FinTech sector - as well as creating a more inclusive and democratic financial services sector overall - has a vital role to play in growing the economy and thereby increasing tax revenues. To do this, we need greater certainty on the fiscal measures that matter to innovative firms, their investors and their ability to compete for talent against large corporations who can offer higher salaries. The 5-year Business Tax Roadmap published today provides some certainty on headline corporation tax rates and EIS and a welcome consultation on R&D tax credit pre approvals. We need similar commitments to stability, and in some areas improvement, on CGT, BADR and EMI. We also need a tech positive regulatory environment in the UK. The right regulation can stimulate growth and innovation without any public spending. We have been pleased at the progress of the Government in regulatory reform - now we need even faster progress, notably an ambitious Payment Vision, open banking and A2A payments, streamlining the FCA rulebook, proportionate capital requirements for challenger banks, and a commitment to make the UK the world leader in digital assets.” 🔗 To find out more about our Policy & Regulation Programme please click here https://lnkd.in/exMTYpQ2 #FinTech #VoiceOfFinTech #FinTechPolicy #Budget2024 Rt Hon Rachel Reeves HM Treasury
