As summer draws to a close, there are several important tax, employment and compliance developments that businesses should be aware of.

From changes affecting hospitality businesses to the continued rollout of Making Tax Digital and Companies House identity verification, August is a good time to review your records, check your compliance and prepare for the months ahead.

Here are this month’s key updates from Everett King: https://createsend.com/t/j-375F4D22683761AB2540EF23F30FEDED

We're backing VAT's The Problem.

The UK hospitality sector pays 20% VAT — one of the highest rates in Europe, compared to 10% in France, Spain and Italy, and just 7% in Germany.

A reduction to 10% would help protect jobs, support local high streets, and give operators room to invest rather than just absorb tax.

We're proud to add Everett King's voice to this campaign. If you run a hospitality business or know someone who does, please sign and share.

10% is fair for hospitality.
