Some businesses may have found it hard to understand the current guidance on which training costs are tax-deductible. So, you may be pleased to know further guidance is set to come in this area. HMRC has said it will be coming forward with clarifications.

However, we're not sure yet on timings for this. It will not feature in the Autumn Finance Bill but will come later in secondary legislation or a future finance bill, HMRC has stated. A case of watch this space.
