Budget outcomes for business

We unpack how the Autumn Budget changes investment reliefs, hiring costs and compliance, trading a single headline for many smaller moves with real cash impacts. We share clear actions for capital allowances, EMI and EIS/VCT use, transfer pricing readiness and payroll risk.

In this Business Talks podcast episode, Tom Alun-Jones, Zoe Thomas, and Adam Kay break down what these changes mean for UK businesses and share practical insights. They discuss:

• Capital allowances changes – including the new 40% first-year allowance and why timing matters,
• Employee incentives – updates to EMI and EIS/VCT schemes,
• Compliance reforms – from transfer pricing simplification to ICTS reporting, and
• Corporate Interest Restriction (CIR) simplification – what’s changing and the new penalty to watch out for.
