With Christmas now only a month away, it’s a good time to remind ourselves of what employers can provide to staff and directors, tax free.

This year we may see a mix of virtual and in person events, with in person events possibly being in small groups to help prevent an outbreak affecting large parts or the whole company.

As we approach Budget day on 3 March, it’ll be nearly a year since the Chancellor’s first Budget which included his initial Coronavirus measures. These escalated pretty quickly into quite a package of measures, which no-one could have predicted.

The Chancellor clearly thought it was time we heard from him again and he needed to act sooner with further initiatives for businesses.
