With the biggest single increase in taxes in a generation, we outline below the key changes.


Employment Allowance Increase - £5,000 - £10,500

With the doom and gloom around Tax Rate increases, this is a welcome relief for Small Businesses.


Employer NIC threshold - reduced from £9,100 - £5,000

Businesses will start paying Employer NIC on Employee Income in excess of £5,000.


Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Increase - from 10% to 18% Basic Rate and 20% to 24% Higher Rate - immediate affect

National Insurance - Employer - Change - 13.8% - 15%

One of the standout changes was the increase in Employer National Insurance from 13.8% to 15%.

This will effect businesses with a large labour force here in the UK.


Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) - Change - 10% - 14% in 2025 further to 18% in 2026

Effective from April 2025 and April 2026. This change will increase the CGT payable by Entrepreneurs, giving an incentive to sell BADR qualifying Assets by 5 April 2025. Lifetime Allowance remains at £1 million.
