Welcome to the special Budget newsletter for the 2007/08 edition of Tax Memo. This brings together all relevant announcements made by the Chancellor in the Budget Report on 12 March 2008 to provide a comprehensive analysis in one document. The relevant paragraphs in your online Memo product will also shortly be updated.

Use the links on the left to navigate to the areas that you are most interested in.  As normal there is a link for every chapter of the existing Tax Memo, but we have added 2 separate sections where significant changes have been made - firstly in the area of the taxation of non-domiciled individuals and secondly with regard to the changes to the penalties regime.

We believe you find this particular newsletter useful and informative and welcome any comments you may have as to how we can improve our service.  We look forward to receiving your emails at flm@flmemo.co.uk.
