Course Details

The Chancellor’s Budget on 6th March will probably be his last major opportunity to stamp his mark before the forthcoming General Election. As an election Budget, we can expect to see plenty of headline-grabbing announcements. But, two weeks on, it will be a good time to pause and reflect on the implications of the announcements in more detail, to take a look at what lies behind the headlines and what it all means for businesses, individuals, and those who advise them.

 

In this course Carl Bayley covers the following topics:

 

  • Urgent action: what advice can be given to individuals and businesses ahead of the end of the tax year on 5th April?
  • Longer-term implications for accounting practices in the months and years ahead
  • The impact of the announcements on individuals with all levels of income, including landlords and high-income earners
  • The pitfalls and opportunities small businesses need to be aware of
  • Implications for companies and their owners

Carl Bayley

Carl Bayley is the author of a series of plain English tax guides designed specifically for the layperson and the non-specialist (available from www.taxcafe.co.uk). His particular speciality is his ability to take the weird, complex, inexplicable world of taxation and set it out in the kind of clear, straightforward language taxpayers themselves can understand. Carl takes the same approach when speaking on taxation, a role he frequently undertakes with great enthusiasm, including his highly acclaimed annual ‘Budget Breakfast’ for the ICAEW. He has spoken on taxation on radio and television, including the BBC’s ‘It’s Your Money’ programme and BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine Show. Carl is a past Chairman of the Tax Faculty of the ICAEW and former member of the Institute’s governing Council and Board. Aside from his tax books, Carl is an avid creative writer. His first novel, Trinity of Souls, was published in 2024, with his second, Destiny of Souls, following in March 2025. When he isn’t working, he takes on the equally taxing challenges of hill walking and horse riding: his Munro tally is now 106 and, while he remains a novice rider, his progress is cantering along nicely. Carl lives in the Scottish Borders, where he enjoys spending time with his partner, Linda.
