The Moment – November 2025

Publications

At BKL, we know that life is built on moments: decisions, opportunities, changes that shape what comes next. The Moment brings you our latest insights and updates to help you make the most of them.

This edition looks ahead to the Autumn Budget, explores the tax considerations for business sales, and explains what the changes to FRS 102 accounting rules will mean for your business.

You can also find out how a recent Tribunal judgement is important for VAT-registered businesses, how the cross-border aspects of the IR35 (off-payroll working) rules work, and the value of preparing early for a major transaction.
