What our clients say
In all their dealings with Eggar’s School, we have found HWB staff to be very professional, knowledgeable and approachable. They do an excellent job of keeping us informed as they are always at the end of the phone, host regular School Business Manager meetings, send out EFSA Updates and have set up this VAT web advice link, which is very user friendly.
Alan Rolfe has assisted efficiently on any VAT queries, with clear and concise advice, especially with unusual aspects of VAT. i.e. Invoicing for Head Teacher secondment.
Alan Rolfe, as with all the staff from HWB, are always extremely friendly and helpful, and provide an excellent service.

Government borrowing rises in September
Official figures show that UK government borrowing reached £20.2 billion in September – the highest for the month in five years. The figures, released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), underline the financial pressures facing the Chancellor as preparations continue for the Budget.
Borrowing, which measures the gap between government spending and income from taxes, was £1.6 billion higher than in September last year. The ONS said that although the government raised more through taxes and National Insurance, this was outweighed by higher spending, particularly on debt interest and inflation-linked costs.
