Launched in May 2021, 10x Economy set out an ambitious vision that would see the economy transform over the next decade. The problem with 10x over the past two years is that there was never any clear sense of what the actions were going to be to get us to an economy that is 10x bigger.

    Tax Are businesses making the most of EV incentives?
    Towards the end of 2023, the UK Government set out its mandate requiring all new cars and vans sold in the UK to be ‘zero emission’ by 2035 with stringent electric vehicle (EV) quotas on car manufacturers in the run-up to 2025. The pathway, which came into effect from the start of this month, is intended to provide certainty to car manufacturers, confidence to investors putting their money into charging infrastructure, and time for families to begin making the switch to EVs.
