Significant Tax Changes Impacting Entrepreneurs

Recent tax changes have imposed substantial financial burdens on entrepreneurs in the UK, with the government announcing £40 billion in tax increases. These changes primarily affect businesses that are just starting out, as they face higher national insurance charges and escalating business rates. For instance, established enterprises are projected to bear an additional £80,000 per year just to maintain current profit levels due to national insurance increases. This financial landscape is particularly concerning for small business owners, many of whom are already struggling with pre-profit challenges.
