• The Tax Factor – Episode 116 - Jaffa Cakes, Films & Christmas Conundrums

  This week on The Tax Factor, Robert Salter and Suzanne Briggs dive into one of the UK’s most famous VAT debates: the long-running question of whether Jaffa Cakes are truly cakes or biscuits. They go over the case, the reasoning behind the ruling, and why this seemingly light-hearted issue still has serious tax implications today. They also discuss the blockbuster news that Deadpool & Wolverine has secured a record £82 million in UK tax credits - a milestone moment for the film industry. Robert and Suzanne discuss how the incentive system works, why the UK remains a major production hub, and what this could mean for future big-budget films. Rounding out the episode, they look at the tax issues that often surface during the festive season, from staff parties to seasonal perks. Combined with their take on the top three tax stories of the week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• The Tax Factor – Episode 103 - T’was the week before the Budget

  This week Gabby Donald and Stefanie Tremain look at what we genuinely know so far!? After what feels like the longest build-up in years, Stephanie puts it simply: “Expect everything, expect nothing.” Just when it seemed the Budget couldn’t bring any more gloom, another idea surfaces: the Milkshake Tax. With retail already wrestling with complexity, do we really need another layer of rules for such a marginal gain? They also look at the House of Lords’ latest debate on growth and the effect of economic and tax policy on jobs and prosperity. The UK just isn’t currently attractive enough to entrepreneurs, businesses, or wealthy individuals - and that has to change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• The Tax Factor - Episode 102 - The See-Saw Budget? Up, Down, and Everything in Between

  This week Tom Goddard and Paul Haywood-Schiefer look at the Government’s possible attempts at fiscal choreography with the potential Income Tax and NICs see-saw. One goes up, one goes down… but as they explain, that doesn’t always mean a neutral outcome for taxpayers. They then discuss what a cap on salary-sacrifice pension contributions would mean: a measure that could be highly attractive to the Treasury while many taxpayers barely feel a ripple. And while pension savers might lose out, families with more than two children could gain significantly if the Child Benefit cap is lifted - though the policy could carry a £4bn price tag. Finally, news of a possible adoption by HMRC of a US-style whistleblower reward scheme, offering up to 30% of tax recovered. A bold, creative and undoubtedly controversial, idea.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
