Budget changes

What does the new budget mean for you and your business?

So, with Philip Hammond announcing the new budget this week, we wanted to highlight a few main points that may affect our clients….

• Class 4 National Insurance, for the Self Employed, is set to rise to 10% in 2018, and then to 11% by 2019 ~ this is for those with earnings in the basic rate band, National Insurance for those in the higher rate tax band will remain at 2%

• Dividend Tax has changed, reducing the Tax free amount that can be taken as a Dividend from £5,000 to £2,000, from April 2018

• The Digital Tax plans have been postponed for another year, meaning yearly Tax Returns are still required

• Finally, the Personal Allowance is set to rise, up to £11,500 for 2017/18, and then again to £12,500 by 2020
