Business Law and Practice provides a detailed guide to the forms of business organisation most commonly encountered in practice, examining their internal concerns, their relationships with outsiders and a broad overview of their possible tax liabilities. As such, the book provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to advising businesses, whatever their structure.
This edition has been revised to take account of the changes brought in by the Companies Act 2006, including the new duties imposed on directors. The emphasis is on those provisions due to come into force by October 2008. The DTI’s implementation timetable is included, as is a table indicating the destinations of the commonly used sections of the 1985 Act. The Income Tax Act 2007 and proposed changes to income tax and capital gains tax contained in the Finance Bill 2008 are also covered.
