The course consisted of frameworks and tools to help understand how to best communicate with your teams and get the most out of the people you manage. There was a mixture of experience levels within the group, which led to buzzing conversation and excellent knowledge sharing within the room - A valuable day well spent!

Sharing with our network an Autumn Budget 2024 Life Sciences Sector Commentary, by OBN Corporate Sponsor BDO
As expected, lots of announcements in todays’ Budget. For life sciences businesses, the Chancellor announced investment for health R&D and also a new Life Sciences Manufacturing Fund, plus support for the Cambridge life sciences cluster to help it unlock its full potential. This supports the importance of the sector going forward, as highlighted in the recent Industrial Strategy green paper (where the sector is one of eight identified as key to growth). Tax wise, the increase in employers’ NI will no doubt impact the sector, given the cash constraints of pre revenue and growing businesses. Capital gains tax rates haven’t increased as significantly as speculated, though, with a 24% rate effective from today (18% for basic rate taxpayers). Business asset disposal relief has also been retained at £1m although the tax rate on that £1m will go up to 14% from April 2025/ to 18% from April 2026. A corporate tax roadmap has also been published, which looks to provide certainty for businesses. The life sciences sector will no doubt be pleased to see that RDEC and the SME R&D intensive regime should stay, as should patent box. There is the potential for transfer pricing rules to apply to smaller businesses operating cross border in future, which could encompass many sector businesses if introduced, and also a review of how cost contribution agreements are priced between related parties. Please see our Budget Hub for more detailed general analysis and insight, including a link to our webinar tomorrow: https://lnkd.in/ddhEunjJ.
