Business news and opinion from Evans Weir > Category: Covid-19

What are the tax rules when entertaining clients?

Client entertainment used to be common practice, even with tax rules hampering what was and wasn’t possible. But the arrival of Covid, and restrictions on gatherings, changed the landscape significantly. Today face to face business meetings are much more infrequent, and the opportunity to gather with clients to eat, drink and be merry is rarer […]

The future of working from home

It’s now three years since the onset of covid. Little did we know that the stay at home order of March 2020 would herald the biggest shakeup of working routines and practices since the industrial revolution. Not even the invention of the computer or the internet had the same scale of impact on where and how we work.

GDP and Inflation Rises Point to Recovery

Recent announcements regarding the increase in GDP and inflation both point towards another strong phase of recovery, but the headlines hide a slightly different story. GDP figures covering the second quarter of 2021 were incredibly positive, showing almost record growth in a single period of 4.8%. Inflation figures released around the same time and covering […]

UK Personal Savings Hit Record High

With the latest stage of lockdown restrictions being eased, economists and forecasters are predicting UK consumer spending will help to boost the recovery. The backdrop to the prediction is the record level of personal savings that UK households have squirrelled away during the pandemic. With opportunities to spend restricted, records have been set and broken […]

Working From Home – Insurance Risks

People working from home are being warned about the risk of invalidating their home insurance. With the stay-at-home order issued in March 2020, two subsequent national lockdowns and government guidance still recommending people work from home wherever possible, the number of people making adaptations to residential properties to create a long-term workspace is on the […]

Co-Operatives Movement Gets a Covid Boost

Reports show an increase in the number of co-operatives having been established in 2020/21 as businesses search for recovery solutions. Faced with cancelled orders, falling sales and a lack of wholesale trade opportunities, hundreds of smaller enterprises were staring down a bleak future when the Covid pandemic took hold in Spring 2020. Whilst many took […]

2021 Budget – What to expect?

Having picked up the Treasury reins just weeks before the Covid pandemic broke, Chancellor Rishi Sunak has so far had little room to manoeuvre or stamp his own brand on the economic plan for the UK. Despite making numerous announcements and unveiling multiple recovery and support plans, his budget statement on March 3rd 2021 is […]

Moving out of Cities

There’s nothing like global a pandemic to make us all take stock of our lives. It’s probably fair to say that over the last year, most of us will have taken a moment to consider our personal situation, either because we feel thankful that we have been able to navigate a way through or because […]

Support During the Covid Pandemic

Like every other business in the UK, the Covid pandemic, lockdowns and impact on the economy hit us out of nowhere too.

Potential Financial Support for Owners and Directors

Despite introducing financial support packages that were designed to include as many people as possible, there were always going to be segments of society that missed out on Government support during the Covid pandemic. One major group that were initially overlooked were the self-employed, requiring Chancellor Rishi Sunak to have to introduce the Self-employed incomes […]

Coronavirus – Year End Government Support Round Up

It seems like a lifetime since the Chancellor first announced a package of support for individuals and businesses that were going to be impacted by the national lockdown back in March of this year.
