Making sense of the Autumn Budget 2025

With tax rises widely expected at this year’s Autumn Budget, we will explore the announcements that matter most and how they could affect businesses and individuals across the UK.

In this session, Gravita’s tax experts Thomas Adcock (Tax Partner, London), Ian Timms (Tax Partner, Oxford) and Kelly Gould (Tax Director, Western) will share their insights on the announcements and explore the practical implications for businesses, individuals and advisors alike. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s changed, what it means in real terms, and what actions you might need to consider.

As the country prepares for expected tax rises affecting many, understanding how to deal with these challenges and plan effectively is more important than ever. Our panel will help you make sense of the changes and what they mean for you. You can also visit our Budget hub for further updates and insights from our team.
