One of the big talking points of the last budget was inheritance tax – and rumours abound of further tweaks at next month’s set piece by the chancellor.
So what are the current rules?

The move comes just days after the company, which has around 170 staff, reportedly began laying off employees across its London and New York offices. Around a third of staff are thought to be affected.

Jones, a former teammate of the NBA’s career leader in points, allegedly disseminated non-public inside information on an injured player to a betting syndicate in February 2023. While the Lakers’ forward is not named in the indictment, the unnamed player fits the profile of James based on the fact pattern enumerated in court filings. Hours after Jones’ arrest on 23 October, a federal prosecutor urged a Nevada judge to impose restrictive conditions with…

The Bank of North Dakota is developing a disaster relief program to help agricultural producers in the state survive the current crisis in the industry.
The program will work with local banks and credit unions across the state to help ag producers refinance their debt, state officials said during a North Dakota Industrial Commission meeting Monday.
