Wondering what the Autumn Budget could mean for you and your business?

The Budget is on the 28th of October, and there’s a lot of talk about possible tax changes. We know that can make planning ahead feel uncertain, whether you run a business, employ people or invest.

In the latest round-table discussion, tax specialists from across the Sumer Group sat down to talk through what to expect, and what to keep an eye on, including:

🔸 Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, property and business rates
🔸 National Insurance, the cost of hiring, pensions and employee benefits
🔸 What changes to expect from the tax system

Scotland's holiday park sector is changing - what does the future of your business look like? 🏨

Evolving trends, customer expectations, and rising costs mean businesses are having to look at new ways of growing.

As advocates for the leisure sector, we work with holiday park businesses to support growth, and help to ensure the long term sustainability of parks.

In a recent article by Grant Reigate, head of leisure at EQ, we explore the evolving nature of the holiday park sector. Grant said "The sector will continue to change but for operators who are prepared to invest, adapt and plan ahead there is a lot to be positive about."

See the full article here for insights from our leisure team: https://www.eqaccountants.co.uk/the-evolving-future-of-scotlands-holiday-park-sector-2/?utm_source=leisuresector&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=holidayparksarticle

Partner Scott Greig joined Ian Collins from Bank of Scotland and Duncan Barrie from Galbraiths at Netherton Farm in Auchterarder, Perthshire, for yesterday’s Farm Walk 🐂

The group welcomed clients and customers to learn more about the McLaren family’s pedigree Aberdeen Angus herd.

Hosts William McLaren and his wife Karen shared an insight into the farm and their approach to cattle breeding, before everyone headed out to see the cattle and calves up close. The morning finished with lunch in the shed before everyone headed off!

Thanks to the McLaren family for hosting a great morning 😊

What a month for the team at EQ!

From winning People Pioneer Business at the Chamber Champion Awards, to co-hosting HARPA's Park Tour and joining our clients for some slightly competitive rounds of golf, September was full of collaboration and community.

We started off the month by attending the Chamber Champion Awards at Apex City Quay Hotel and Spa, where Louise Grant, Sam Walker, Lewis Stracey, Chloe Hunter, Nicola Rourke and Louise Joyce were proud to collect the People Pioneer Business Award on behalf of EQ.

Grant Reigate and Nicola Rourke then co-hosted HARPA's Park Tour with Away Resorts at Piperdam Resort. We spent the day with HARPA Park and Associate Members exploring the recently renovated venue and taking part in an axe throwing and archery session, which we were proud to sponsor!

During the month, we caught up with clients and individuals across Scotland for several rounds of golf, visiting Drumoig Golf Hotel & Golf Course in St Andrews, and Gullane Golf Club in East Lothian, where David Morrison and Grant Reigate led their teams to victory.

To end the month, Dougy Agnew and Max Short visited Water's Edge Dundee for a day of inspiring talks from game sector individuals organised by SDGA and Colin Macdonald.

It was great to be able to catch up with everyone during September. To find out how we can support your business, reach out to a member of our team who would be happy to help: https://www.eqaccountants.co.uk/contact-us/?utm_source=contactus&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=contactusform

Last night, we had the pleasure of joining Scottish Land & Estates at the EICC to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Helping It Happen Awards!

As sponsors of the Innovation in Farming Award, it was brilliant to celebrate the people, businesses and communities doing great things across rural Scotland.

A huge congratulations to Ovis Wool Pellets Ltd, who took home the Innovation in Farming Award, presented by Partner Sheryl Macaulay.

As proud supporters of the sector, we love seeing the ideas and ambition coming from businesses across Scotland, and it's great to play a small part in championing them.

A big thank you to everyone from EQ who joined us on the night - Lynsey Robertson, Anna Coff, Mark Smeaton, Ben Scott and Andrew Nagle - and to our guests Nick Marshall, Nick Morall, Nick Henderson and Gregor Mackintosh for joining us.

A brilliant evening celebrating some of the people helping rural Scotland thrive!
