The UK’s estimated tax gap, the difference between the tax expected to be paid and what was actually paid, was 6.4% for the 2024-2025 tax year. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) collected £865.2 billion, representing 93.6% of all tax due, which means around £59.2 billion remained unpaid. The 6.4% gap is an increase on 6% recorded in 2023-24. Unpaid tax from small businesses accounted for 62% of the gap in 2024-25, with corporation tax half of tax.

The average age of the founders behind the UK’s 100 best-funded start-ups is 37. The finding goes against the popular stereotype of a successful business owner as a 20-something university dropout, the study by the Entrepreneurs Network said. As well as a median age of 37, the analysis, which looked at the 100 UK companies with the highest fundraising in the last two years, showed that the 186 founders range from 18 to 67 years old, and almost as many are 50 or older (20%) as are under 30 (23%).

Austin Wells was behind the plate for the Yankees for the first time Sunday since hitting the injured list with cervical headaches. The catcher went 0-for-2 with a strikeout, but both Wells and manager Aaron Boone are confident that his ability to work on his approach at the plate while on a rehab stint with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will be beneficial.
