James Gosling on LinkedIn: #mergersandacquisitions #accountancy #partner #saleormerger (2024)

As we get closer to election day, the various debates and accompanying commentary is throwing up the real possibility of a Labour government scrapping BADR (Business Asset Disposal Relief) if/when they come to power.In addition to the above, as I advised a few weeks back there are some fears of an increase in the current Capital Gains Tax (CGT) rate as well 😱 This will have a very significant monetary impact on any business owners looking at exit. I have spoken with many business owners who are looking to expedite their exit plans to avoid an possibly increases in tax at disposal! This line of dialogue is a common theme which is picking up pace weekly at the moment....If sale or exit has been on your mind, we would be delighted to have a confidential discussion to talk through your options and how we can work alongside you.

First Xerocon done! What a stand out event...Xero really have a fantastic ability to create a community feel, and 'safe' environment where people are that much more open, transparent and keen to share their wins, losses and thoughts on certain subjects. I have felt it time and time again over the last 12 months at Xero Partner Success days and again at Xerocon this week. It is like you enter a 'Xero space' and everyone's natural shields or barriers are disarmed. It genuinely is amazing to see and be part of...Like anything however, a good community feel can only be possible by those in the community- and I caught up with a top bunch of people!!Was brilliant to be on stage yesterday talking about the M&A landscape currently, the dynamics at play and how PE is playing it's role in the height of activity we are currently witnessing. Tom Strange you led the discussion superbly! Thank you Xero for having me, and a really special thank you to Diane Holden 🙏 📸 credit Andrew H. & Nikki Adams #Xerocon #Xero #Accountancy #MergersandAcquisitions
