Doctors are trustworthy, aren’t they? But what about the VAT man? There was a time when you could approach HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for help and guidance, and be reasonably assured that you could rely on what you were told. But the experience of some taxpayers suggests that there is now confusion about what can and cannot be relied upon, and you may now have to insist on your own written ruling if you are to be protected.

This raises a number of questions over the future of R&D tax relief. Technology partner Samantha Vanags explains the issues and responds with Grant Thornton’s recommendations on R&D tax incentives.

Like many serial entrepreneurs, Luke Johnson believes in getting off your behind, facing down the risks and rising to a challenge. Never more so than in 1992, when he was living on an overdraft in order to help finance a reverse takeover of Pizza Express. It was a transformational moment, which he relives here as the latest subject of Grant Thornton’s My Big Decision series.
