A raft of changes announced yesterday especially in relation to capital taxes. AUTUMN BUDGET ’24: CGT & BADR CHANGES 💼   From today, the lower rate of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) will increase from 10% to 18%.   The higher rate of CGT will increase from 20% to 24%.   The rates for sale of residential property remain unaltered.   The ‘carried interest’ CGT rate is increasing to 32% from April 2025, with further reform from April 2026 to tax it under income tax. ‘Carried interest’ is a share of the profits generated by an investment fund, paid out to the fund’s investment managers.   Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) stays at 10% for 2024/25, then 14% from 2025/26, then 18% from 2026/27.   The 14% difference between sales qualifying for BADR and the new main rate of CGT should be an incentive to move sales forwards to before April 2025.   Stay tuned for our full Budget breakdown, releasing soon. https://lnkd.in/ePZrjsW7 #AutumnBudget2024 #BudgetUpdates

Today I spoke about future changes and best practice in financial reporting for charities at the HFMA’s NHS charitable funds finance and governance conference. Two items which were key subjects for discussion were the forthcoming accounting changes on leasing and revenue recognition. It is clear that there are a number of charity angles within these subjects which will need further guidance or clarification before the changes are adopted including leases where the rent is very significantly below market level. #charity #financialreporting
