Our take on the latest tax and business news
HMRC wants sole traders and landlords earning over £30,000 to sign up for Making Tax Digital now
The £30,000 test is gross turnover before expenses, not profit. Worked through: a landlord who clears the threshold on rent alone despite an £18,000 real profit.
Trouw Nutrition has closed its Belfast production plant, with around 29 jobs lost
29 jobs are gone from Ship Street. Worked through: Northern Ireland's own, higher redundancy pay cap, and what a package over £30,000 costs an employer.
A new £10 million Hospitality Grant Scheme is open to Northern Ireland pubs, cafés and restaurants, with round one closing on 13 October 2026
NI businesses apply through the same UK-wide portal as the rest of the country. Worked through: what a capital grant does to your capital allowances, and what training funding does to your tax bill instead.
