Get ready for tax changes coming in 2025.
Freelance Friday is about building a strong freelance community in Greater Manchester, bringing together independent professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs to connect, collaborate, and grow.
This session includes a 15-minute workshop from Craig Butterworth Accounting to help freelancers and small business owners get ready for the 2025 tax changes. Updates to IR35, National Insurance, and the rollout of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax are coming soon, so it’s important to know how these changes could affect your finances and daily work.
Craig will outline the changes and share tips to help you stay compliant.
Alongside the workshop, the morning includes breakfast and networking to kickstart the day, as well as opportunities to access tailored support from EnterprisingYou and GM Business Growth Hub. With plenty of time to connect with fellow professionals, Freelance Friday offers a welcoming space to learn, share, and grow together.
