Britain built its reputation on the back of people who took risks. The entrepreneurs who started with nothing, backed themselves and built something. That spirit hasn't disappeared. But the conditions around it have changed and the tax system is a significant part of the story.
In this episode of Fresh Perspectives, Rob Brown talks with Praveen Gupta, UK Head of Tax at Azets, about what the current tax landscape is doing to entrepreneurs and the wider economy that depends on them. Praveen works directly with business builders across the UK and brings both the technical expertise and the personal conviction that comes from seeing this play out in real client conversations every week.
Praveen and Rob cover the climate facing entrepreneurs right now, the structural barriers that the tax system creates at the moments when businesses need headroom most, and the economic and societal cost of getting this wrong. In the second half they turn to what better looks like.
Specific reforms, underused levers and the message Praveen would take directly to the Chancellor. If you are building a business, advising one or making decisions about whether to take the leap, this episode is worth your time.
