In this Autumn Budget 2026 special, tax partner Julia Cockroft and trainee solicitor Simon Bayliss unpack the Chancellor’s key business tax announcements through the lens of carrots and sticks.
From the new tax relief for founders and improvements to the tax efficient employee share scheme regimes to the reduction in Business Asset Disposal Relief and tougher tax conditions for others, they explore who stands to benefit, who may face new challenges, and what the measures reveal about the government’s priorities for UK businesses.
As ever with tax, the devil is in the detail.
