With the latest announcements from Rishi Sunak in terms of support and other measures for businesses and individuals, now is a good time to be asking SMEs how they are faring and to understand their outlook for the future.

I would like to invite you to participate in our short survey. The survey will only take 2 minutes of your time.

Budget Summary

The Martlet Partnership is pleased to attach a summary of yesterday’s budget proposals. Please contact us if you require any further information as to how these changes might affect you.

The government will be making a further announcement on 23rd March to set out its tax strategy over the next 10 years.

Furlough claims

It has come to our attention that a number of our clients who are potentially eligible to make a claim under the more flexible furlough arrangements, are not making their claims.

To put it in simple terms, if you as a business owner/company director were unable to work the full 150 working hours during the month of February, you should be eligible for a furlough claim providing that there is a lack of work due to Covid.

Claims have to be made promptly and the closing date is 14 March. We may have to set up arrangements with HMRC in order to make the claim.

Therefore, if you believe you may be eligible under these criteria, please contact us as soon as possible.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to our Daniel White for passing his Advanced Bookkeeping exam – Level 3 AAT with 98%!
