Tax Memo Newsletter Issue 1 (PBR 2008)

PDF printer friendly version

Welcome to the first newsletter for the 2008/09 edition of Tax Memo. This pulls together all relevant announcements made by the Chancellor in the Pre-Budget Report on 24 November 2008 to provide a comprehensive analysis in one document. The relevant paragraphs in your Memo product will also be updated individually online.

With the global economy in its current state, this Pre-Budget Report was one of the most eagerly anticipated to be delivered.  With the central objective to respond to the global economic recession, all eyes were on the Chancellor to see what tax changes would be made. 

We believe you will find this particular newsletter useful and informative in advising you of these changes, 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.
