Monthly Talk – The Changing World of Personal Tax: or what you should know in order to sleep calmly at night.

The speaker will be Paul Harris of Scrutton Bland, u3a Bury St Edmund’s Accountancy firm.

Personal tax affects us all – not only during our working lives, but into retirement and ultimately on death. Every Budget brings changes to the already complex rules, and at a time of economic and political uncertainty the Chancellor is under pressure to squeeze every last penny from us. The drive towards digitisation, and low service standards at HMRC, only increase the difficulties facing the taxpayer. In this talk, Paul Harris will outline some of the key issues that you need to be aware of, and hopefully help you to sleep at night.
