Budget 2026: what could it mean for your business?

With the Budget approaching on 28 October, business owners will be watching closely for changes to tax, reliefs and the cost of doing business.

One area causing particular concern is family businesses. Reports suggest the Government could change the tax treatment of transfers between generations, potentially making succession more expensive.

For family business owners, this makes succession planning more important than ever.

But it’s not just tax. Changes to employment costs, allowances and other measures could impact cash flow, investment and growth.

At Moulton Johnson, we help businesses plan ahead, manage tax and make informed decisions about their future.

Is the tax system becoming too complicated for small businesses?

According to a party political conference speech this week in 1976, the UK tax handbook was 1,600 pages long. Apparently now it’s 23,000 pages. That is all seven Harry Potter novels, the Bible, and the complete works of Shakespeare combined, 4 times over.

A new report from the Administrative Burdens Advisory Board suggests businesses are increasingly feeling the weight of tax legislation and compliance. 61.6% of respondents said the legislative burden had worsened over the past 12 months, while 62.8% said they had been impacted by legislative changes.

At Moulton Johnson, we know that understanding the rules is one thing. Understanding what they mean for your business is another.

If you’re unsure about how recent or upcoming changes could affect you, it’s worth getting advice rather than trying to work it out alone.

Could a £60 penalty catch you out?

New Self-Assessment reporting requirements mean directors of close companies now need to provide additional information, even if they are unpaid or have no shares.

Get it wrong and a £60 penalty may apply.

Our latest article explains what directors need to know. Link in the comments section.

SMEs are the heart of the UK economy. They employ almost 17 million people and generate more than half of private-sector turnover.

But Brexit, Covid and the cost-of-living crisis have taken their toll. And today's pressures keep coming:

• Energy bills that won't come down
• Wages that need funding
• Customers who can't take on higher prices

Flagstone, the UK's leading cash deposit and savings platform, have captured the voices of 1,000 SMEs across various regions, sectors and company sizes and condensed their findings into their first Business Barometer.

It’s well worth a read. Link to report in comments section below.

What do you think is the biggest challenge facing SMEs right now? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

From 6 April 2027, HMRC's mandatory payrolling of Benefits in Kind kicks in for Phase 1, covering company cars, car fuel, vans, van fuel and medical benefits.

Most other benefits follow from April 2028.

For employers, this means payroll software and processes need to be ready. But the bigger job is communication.

Right now, many employees pay tax on these benefits in arrears, often through an estimated deduction in their tax code without fully realising that's how it works. From April 2027 that changes. Tax on Phase 1 benefits gets paid in real time, in the year they're received.

Here's where it gets tricky. Some staff could find themselves paying tax on 2027 to 2028 benefits in real time while still catching up on the previous tax year at the same time.

It can look like double taxation, and if it's not explained in advance, it's the kind of thing that unsettles staff and generates a flurry of anxious questions.

If this affects your business and you want to talk through what it means for your payroll setup, we're here to help.

When the band breaks up, what happens next?

We’ve seen it before. Two founders, no shareholders agreement and everything works perfectly… until it doesn’t.

One wants out. Someone stops turning up. Shares need to be sold. Or a 50/50 deadlock brings everything to a standstill.

Without an agreement, you could be relying on rules that weren’t written for your business.

A shareholders agreement sets out what happens when things go wrong, agreed while everyone is still on the same side. What should you include in an agreement? This article link offers some suggestions: https://bit.ly/4i3wCHX

If you have more than one shareholder and no agreement, it could be a gap worth closing.

Brentwood Business Network was proud to sponsor a Track Play session at SNAP Charity, contributing £300 to help children and young people with additional needs enjoy a dedicated play session during the summer holidays.

Play is about far more than having fun. It helps children build confidence, develop communication and social skills and express themselves in a way that feels natural to them. For many SNAP families, busy public play sessions can be overwhelming, so providing a calm and familiar environment makes all the difference.

A huge thank you to Lauren Stebbing and everyone at SNAP for the incredible work you do every day. We're proud to have played a small part in helping make this summer a little brighter for the children and families you support.
