Small businesses lose out on rate relief

Many small businesses in the UK are unaware of the tax break, it has been claimed.

Small business confidence is at a high

Confidence among UK small businesses is at its highest level since October 2009, new research shows.

According to research carried out by workplace provider Regus, the Business Confidence Index (BCI) is at an average of 108 points, which is relatively encouraging considering the economic conditions.

The latest Business Tracker report, which published findings from over 4,000 UK businesses, found that small business confidence measured 103 in the index. Approximately 26% of small businesses said they experienced an increase in profits last year.

Despite high levels of optimism, small businesses will remain cautious in their projections for 2011. Only 27% believe the economy will advance in the latter half of the year.

Debt Debt Ceiling No Comments »

Why the US must raise its debt ceiling | Kevin Gallagher

According to US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the US will have trouble paying its debts somewhere between 16 May and 2 August 2011. Geithner is thus asking Congress to raise the legal debt limit, which now stands at $14.3tn.

Growth in the US in the short and medium term is a good thing for the US economy – and the world. But when growth recovers, the US will have to raise taxes, make a structural shift towards a green economy and reduce military and other spending. But this is not the time – and holding the US bond market hostage is not the route to that inevitably necessary future.

Profits Profits Split No Comments »

Firms urged to show how profits are split between bonuses and investment

Companies should be forced to spell out in simple form how they use their profits, stating how much is invested back into the businesses, how much is paid in dividends to shareholders and how much is handed to staff to help investors gauge whether bonuses can be justified.

Under the proposal being developed by Robert Talbut, chief investment officer of Royal London Asset Management, companies should be required to publish three years of such information in their annual report and accounts.

A member of the independent High Pay Commission, Talbut said: “Far too much of the debate over remuneration takes place in isolation with little relation to the context of the company and its strategy.”

He hopes his idea will allow a more sophisticated debate to take place about the ability of each individual company to pay out bonuses, dividends and invest in their businesses – particularly at a time when some companies are adding to the complexity of their bonus schemes.

Talbut’s idea for a “distribution schedule” of how profits are used is intended to make it easier for shareholders to discuss company strategy with management teams. “
