Executive Matters

Editor's Note

Daniel Naftalin - Mishcon de Reya

Welcome to the latest edition of Executive Matters, our quarterly publication tailored to the challenges and legal issues faced by Senior Executives.

We like to keep things varied for our Senior Executive readership, and this edition is no exception, with a range of articles, events, podcasts and briefing materials on offer.

In terms of articles, we examine some of the key aspects that executives should keep in mind to ensure their equity rewards are optimised (and not compromised). Ahead of the Autumn Budget we also consider the implications of a possible, and much-touted increase in capital gains tax.

Turning to events, there are two in particular that we would like to put into your diaries. First, we are hosting another of "Disputes Nightmares Scenarios" webinars, this time focusing on what to do if you or someone in your organisation is served with a worldwide freezing order. As a leader within your organisation, understanding the complexities and immediate steps required when faced with a worldwide freezing order is crucial. This webinar will focus on the first 48 hours and is designed to equip you with the knowledge to protect your interests effectively.

The session will take place on Wednesday 6 November 2024. You can register here and will be able to access a recording of the session afterwards.

We'd also like to invite you to join our tax and wealth planning specialists on Thursday 7 November 2024 as they discuss the new changes to the taxation of non-doms and share practical tips for those affected by them You can register here.

For the podcasters amongst you, we've got another excellent episode of our Jazz Shapers podcast with Neil Larkins and Tony Pepper, co-founders and respectively CEO and CFO of Egress Software Technologies.

Finally, you can access our 'For the Attention of the Board' briefings, giving you concise, actionable insights on critical issues facing those in the Boardroom, such as EDI concerns, sanctions regimes, developing Health & Safety compliance, and the swiftly changing landscape of ESG reporting requirements. You can also do a deeper dive into ESG issues with our ESG for Business Leaders briefings.

The "doom and gloom" Budget: what could a CGT rates rise mean?

With only a couple of weeks left to the Budget, Labour's first since March 2010, the rumour mill is well and truly rolling. In addition to speculation over employers' National Insurance Contributions and the changes to the non-dom regime, it has been widely reported that the Chancellor is considering an increase in capital gains tax (CGT) rates in an effort to plug the now infamous '£22 billion black hole' in the public finances. The Chancellor this week also gave a further warning that the UK faces a £100 billion public finances blackhole over the next five years. Will increasing the CGT rates help?
