No Accounting for Taste ep82: SA deadline, lockdown grants and 2021 predictions

AccountingWEB’s Richard Hattersley and John Stokdyk put on their prognosticator hats as they welcome the CFN’s Kirsty McGregor to the virtual pod booth and attempt to foretell the highs and lows of 2021. 

What will the Chancellor have in store for the March Budget? Will the profession revert back to the old ways of working? Will the end of 2021 look brighter than the end of 2020? 

But before the team looks into their crystal balls, they race through the headlines of a week which saw confusion and alarm from HMRC’s nudge letters, while accountants continue to scramble to make the looming tax return deadline. 

And the big news coming from the world of accountancy over the past seven days has to be news of a national lockdown and new grants worth up to £9,000.
