Rishi Sunak
Our coverage on Rishi Sunak explores the impact of his fiscal and regulatory policies on the UK accountancy and financial services sector. During his tenure as Chancellor, Sunak introduced sweeping economic interventions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the furlough scheme, VAT deferrals, and business loan guarantees—all of which significantly shaped accountants’ advisory responsibilities and compliance workloads. As Prime Minister, his government maintained the 25% Corporation Tax rate and oversaw reforms to the R&D tax relief scheme, while interest rate pressures—partly inherited from post-pandemic inflation—continued to drive client demand for cashflow planning and insolvency guidance. We also examine Sunak’s support for Making Tax Digital and his broader vision for a digitised, growth-led economy. This coverage is essential for partners, tax specialists, and advisers assessing the regulatory and economic environment shaped by Sunak’s leadership.
