No Accounting for Taste ep185: A 2025 Spring Statement special

Rachel Reeves kept her promise with no tax changes in yesterday’s Spring Statement. With expectations low, Richard Hattersley recaps the key takeaways, including the eight consultations and policy papers released and looks ahead to what the Autumn Budget might bring. One of the policy papers released confirmed that sole traders and landlords with incomes of more than £20k would be pulled into the system by 2028. Tom Herbert explains what this means and why Reeves didn’t mention MTD in the Spring Statement. Matthew Ord shifts focus from the Spring Statement to HURST, an accounting and business advisory firm with big growth plans. He recalls his chat with managing partner Tim Potter on their strategy, recruitment challenges and tech investments.
