Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Tax Factor is Back: New Season, Big Questions
Q: How likely is it that the income tax and NIC thresholds will be frozen beyond April 2028, and what would that mean for revenue?
Tom argues it is extremely likely the thresholds will be frozen beyond 2028, as it generates revenue and aligns with the Labour manifesto pledges, with a five out of five likelihood rating; the policy would raise substantial annual revenue while avoiding overt tax rate hikes.
The Tax Factor is Back: New Season, Big Questions
Q: What have been the tax headlines that have caught your eye over the last few weeks?
Tom highlights that government borrowing costs have surged, prompting talk of tax rises that avoid income tax, NIC, or VAT changes, and notes that frozen thresholds are quietly pulling more people into higher tax bands; he also scores the likelihood of policy moves based on the press and manifesto constraints.
The Tax Factor – Episode 112 – Making Tax Digital Part Two
Q: How ready do you feel? How is the beta testing gone?
Beta testing has gone well overall with some wrinkles; the team has simplified the sign-up process and reduced it to around four minutes, while continuing to iron out issues as they arise.
BRave Business - Episode 19: The Founder’s Mindset
Q: What advice can you give to entrepreneurs?
Rob advised that they should go all in on their best idea and not try to have any plan B.
The Tax Factor - Episode 67 - When is a sports drink not a sports drink?
Q: When did the rules change regarding penalties even if there is no tax due?
The rules changed in 2011, meaning penalties can be charged even without tax owing, contrary to earlier practices where penalties would be cancelled if no tax was due.
