WATCH: Navigate the budget and what it means for your business - Blu Sky - UMi Makes it Easy
Events & Learning
Learn about the key changes announced in the spring 2025 budget, how they affect your business, and what action to take now with UMi Makes it Easy... to navigate the budget and what it means for your business, hosted by Jon Dudgeon & Adrian O’Connell from Blu Sky.
A range of measures were introduced for tax year 2025/26 in the autumn 2024 and spring 2025 budgets. With significant changes such as employers' national insurance contribution (NIC) increases, we asked Blu Sky experts to share what leaders can do to navigate them effectively.
CEO Jon Dudgeon, and Adrian O’Connell, Head of Tax at Blu Sky share:
- How the main tax changes will affect businesses.
- How the research and development (R&D) landscape has changed, with tougher criteria and more scrutiny of R&D tax credit claims, requiring businesses to be proactive and organised around record-keeping – that it is now about advancing the field, not just your own business.
- The range of training schemes and grants to support digital adoption for small and medium-sized businesses, and the importance of checking local schemes regularly because they are fast-moving.
- Tips for preparing your business for the changes, including tightening up record-keeping and cashflow planning, and having proactive conversations around R&D tax credits, VAT thresholds if you’re near them, and SEIS/EIS investor schemes.
