All trustees have a legal duty to act only in the best interests of the charity. Trustees’ personal and professional connections can bring benefits to the work of a charity, often forming part of the reason why an individual was asked to join the trustee body. 

This was Philip Hammond’s third Budget as Chancellor and the second autumn one. Unusually, it was presented on a Monday, apparently wishing to avoid any Halloween references had he held it later in the week. He also slipped in a few jokes, as has become his tradition.

Among the more minor changes introduced in Autumn Budget 2018 were some proposed alterations to the capital gains tax (CGT) regime, which were labelled as “Private residence relief: reform of ancillary reliefs.” These have been seen primarily as a further attack on the private residential lettings market.
