The effects of the January increase in VAT on small businesses
will be put under the spotlight by Prime Chartered Accountants at
the next Early Bird Breakfast organised by Solihull Chamber of
Commerce.
Kevin Johns, a director at Prime which has offices in Solihull
and Coventry, said: "Small businesses need to be prepared for the
increase in VAT to 20 per cent. It is bound to have an impact on
sales and production costs and many other aspects of the running of
a business.
"As long-standing members of the Chamber, Prime hopes that
giving advice on how to lessen the impact will be of help to
businesses".
The event takes place at The Oak at Hockley Heath on October 19
starting at 7am when the Chamber members' fee will be £14 and
non-members £24.
