Hello,
The King's Speech did not reveal anything that we did not really know in terms of the new government's policies, and subsequently it published more detail on the first bills that will go before the new parliament. HMRC is really ramping up the stakes now by sending out 'one to many' letters to Persons of Significant Control (PSC) on the Companies House register as well as to deemed contractors under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) rules: watch out for these: they constitute a 'nudge' and need to be acted upon. We have several tax cases which are all topical in their own right, covering Research & Development (R&D), carried interests, tax relief on investment management fees and failure to notify.
