This, coupled with concerns of a slowdown in global growth caused by the US trade conflict with China, saw the main index fall to a month low of 6,939 before recovering to close the month at 7,128.10, a reduction of more than 4% for the month.

          Corporate Tax update

          For UK companies, there was a lot more in the 2018 Budget than initially expected.  The key message is that the UK is open for business.  This manifests itself in a combination of measures which deliver stability of tax rates, take the lead in areas such as Digital Services and Intangible assets, and seek to promote capital investment.
