Call for Evidence on the tax support provided for entrepreneurs
At a recent Chamber breakfast members commented that the taxation systems are not founder friendly. Entrepreneurs are vital to the growth mission, and the government is focussed on making the UK the most attractive place in the world for founders to start and scale their businesses to success.
A call for evidence came out with the budget report on the tax support provided to entrepreneurs. This Call for Evidence seeks views on the effectiveness of existing tax incentives, and the wider tax system, for business founders and scaling firms, and how the UK can better support these companies to start, scale and stay in the UK. The government will consider responses when developing further potential reforms to tax support for entrepreneurs. Please ensure you have your say, the call for evidence closes on 28th February 2026
