In this issue, we begin by looking at the recent work of our specialist Intervention Team, who supported a client who was experiencing a life-changing event, before moving onto look at when a Management Buyout (MBO) is right for a business.

We also look at the rise of HMRC tax investigations and how taxpayers can protect themselves with our tax investigation service and we consider the impact of the U-turn on the Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR) reforms.

Finally, we move on to consider the upcoming changes to Statutory Sick Pay, introduced as part of the Employment Right’s Act, and finish by highlighting the new Companies House fee rates.
