About the course

The tax landscape is always shifting. Finance Act 2025 has brought a raft of changes to personal tax, business tax, capital tax, and indirect tax. It’s crucial that you, as a finance professional, are able to keep your clients and employers up to date with these changes.

This course provides a structured overview of the key revisions introduced this year. We look at tax reliefs for individuals, as well as for different organisations. We consider sensitive topics like pensions, and the ways in which the rules surrounding them have altered. We also detail the rules and qualifying criteria for the various reliefs and tax credits available for landlords, homeowners, and farmers.

By the end of this course, you will be better equipped to advise clients and colleagues on the various tax schemes available and all the recent changes. It will arm you with up-to-date knowledge to ensure that the people you advise get the best support.
