Business Relief changes are impacting family businesses.

The recent changes to Business Relief mark a significant shift for business owners. With reliefs more constrained and increased scrutiny on valuations, family matters such as succession, control and long-term continuity are now firmly in focus.

With tighter reliefs and increased scrutiny on valuations, business owners are facing new challenges when it comes to protecting wealth, planning for the future and transferring value to the next generation. To help unpack what this means in practice, Forvis Mazars is hosting a webinar.

Register your place here: https://ow.ly/QgoV50Z70pt

The Forvis Mazars webinar will explore:
- The implications for family-owned businesses
- How HMRC may value business interests
- The interaction between CGT and IHT
- Strategies to protect value and support succession planning

Q&A will also take place with the Forvis Mazars specialists.

The launch of digital ATA Carnets is here, and last week the International Trade team at Dorset Chamber were thrilled to issue their very first one to Joe Hayes at Kindful Creative.

Often described as a “passport for goods”, an ATA Carnet allows equipment, samples, or exhibition goods to be taken temporarily abroad without paying import duties or taxes.

If you’re planning to travel internationally with goods, our team would be happy to discuss your ATA Carnet requirements and help guide you through the process. Get in touch at [email protected].
