With the Autumn Budget on 28 October, the Prime Minister has refused to rule out further tax rises.

The government says it will take a careful approach to the Uk's finances, but with limited room in the public finances, businesses and individuals will be watching closely.

So what could this mean for you?

It's too early to know exactly what will be announced but if you're a business owner, director or self-employed, now could be a good time to understand your current tax position and think about any financial decisions you have coming up.

28 October 2026 - Budget Day

We'll be following the announcements and breaking down the changes that could actually affect you and your business.

What would you most like to see in the Budget - a tax cut, more support for
businesses, or simply some certainty?

Pubs & hotels: could your business rates bill be about to change?

The Government is reviewing how business rates valuations for pubs and hotels are calculated, following significant increases in rateable values at the 2026 revaluation.

The aim is to make the system fairer and more transparent - and give hospitality businesses
greater certainty when planning ahead.

A Call for Evidence is now being carried out, with the review due to report to the Treasury by March 2027, ahead of the next revaluation.

For pubs, hotels and other hospitality businesses, business rates can have a significant impact on costs and cash flow - so changes to how properties are valued are worth keeping an eye on.

If you run a pub or hotel, have your business rates changed significantly this year?

We'll keep you updated as the review progresses and more details emerge.

Could tax-free shopping bring tourists - and billions - back to the UK?

A new report from the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) suggests that reintroducing VAT-free shopping for international visitors could add £11.5 billion to the UK economy It could also potentially attract up to 2.35 million additional visitors every year.

And there could be a benefit for the Treasury too, with the report estimating a potential £2.6 billion net gain.

The proposal is now gaining attention ahead of the Autumn Budget on 28 October, with major UK businesses calling for the scheme to return.

Of course, this is a proposal - not a confirmed Budget measure.

But it raises an interesting question:
> Would bringing back tax-free shopping make the UK more attractive to international visitors?

For retailers, hospitality businesses and the wider economy, it could be a significant change.

We'll be watching the Autumn Budget closely and sharing the key announcements that could affect businesses and individuals.

UK borrowing costs have hit a 28-year high. Should businesses be paying attention?

The yield on 30-year UK government bonds reached 5.89% on 1 September - its highest level since 1998.

That might sound like a government finance story.

But it can have wider implications.

Higher government borrowing costs can mean less room for government spending and potentially make decisions around the upcoming Autumn Budget even more important.

For businesses, it's another reason to keep an eye on the bigger economic picture from tax and business costs to interest rates and investment decisions.

The Budget isn't just about what the Chancellor announces.

It's about what those decisions could mean for your business.

We'll be following the announcements and breaking down the key changes that could affect businesses and individuals.

It's easy to think:
"I'll worry about the Budget when it's announced."

But for your business, some of the biggest decisions can start with preparing beforehand.

Changes to:
> Tax
> Employment costs
> Business rates
> Capital allowances
> Dividends & personal tax
> Reporting requirements
could all affect your business finances and cash flow

And you don't need to be a large company for Budget changes to matter.

So, what should you be doing now?

> Review your current tax position
> Look at planned business spending
> Check your cash flow
> Consider whether upcoming decisions could be affected by Budget changes

Then, when the announcements come, you're in a much better position to understand what actually matters to your business - rather than trying to work it all out afterwards.

Keep an eye on the Budget. We'll be keeping you updated on the changes that could affect businesses and individuals.

What's the one thing you'd most like the Chancellor to change for small businesses?

Could a genuine tax mistake become a criminal offence?

HMRC is proposing a new offence that could make it easier to prosecute taxpayers for "reckless" incorrect statements.

At present, criminal prosecution generally requires dishonesty.

Under the proposed changes, the threshold could be lower.

That's raising concerns about the impact on low-income and unrepresented taxpayers, who may make genuine mistakes or struggle to challenge HMRC decisions.

For individuals and businesses, it's another reminder that getting your Self Assessment and tax reporting right matters.

Tax rules can be complicated - and a mistake isn't necessarily the same as deliberate wrongdoing.

If you're unsure about your tax position or need help getting your returns right, professional advice can provide reassurance and help you avoid costly mistakes.
