On this week’s episode, the AccountingWEB pod team unpicks the Chancellor’s Winter Economy Plan and discuss the effects the never-ending guidance is having on the profession.

Since we last recorded a podcast Chancellor Rishi Sunak unveiled the job support scheme, further self-employed grants and an extension to the coronavirus loans. To examine the news, host Richard Hattersley is joined by AccountingWEB’s editor-in-chief John Stokdyk and friend of the site and partner at Burton Sweet, Nigel Harris.

The team attempt to add meat to the bones of Sunak’s new job support scheme and judge the effectiveness of the tax deferment and coronavirus loan extensions. Aside from the winter rescue plan, tech enthusiast panel rate Xero’s vision for tax and practice software and advise an accountant ready to throw in the towel after failing their CIMA exams.
