———————————————————————
The latest Spring Budget may not have brought major surprises, but UK dental practices still face big financial changes from April 1st. Specialist dental accountant David Hossein explains what these updates mean for practice owners and associates.
With employer National Insurance rising by 1.2% and the National Living Wage increasing to £12.21 per hour, practice costs are set to climb. Meanwhile, those selling a practice should prepare for the Business Asset Disposal Relief tax rate jumping from 10% to 14%—leading to a rush of transactions before the April deadline.
Beyond tax changes, HMRC enforcement is ramping up. Random inspections are becoming more frequent, late payment penalties are rising to 10%, and Making Tax Digital continues moving forward. Economic growth forecasts have also been halved, adding further pressure on dental businesses.
