Why are the numbers so high? Because where there's that much money, organised crime invests heavily, from creating entire factories to building submarines to move their product. This is a critical risk all UK and international businesses must prepare for.

Income tax bands are frozen, and student loan repayment thresholds remain the same, leading to a substantial increase in the financial load.
A typical high-earning graduate turning 30 in 2020 might pay £10,000 in taxes and loan repayments, but by 2030, this could soar to over £21,000!
That's an over 80% rise in repayments, while wages are only projected to rise by 43%. This tax strategy seems to disproportionately affect those starting out, rather than the highest earners overall.
