According to the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) if the government genuinely seeks to increase the jobs available in the market it needs to increase the VAT threshold. According to a study by the Centre for Economics and Business Research, commissioned by the FSB 35,000 new jobs can be created just by increasing the VAT threshold. Businesses that wish to recruit more employees are unable to do s due to financial constraints. This can be changed if they have to pay VAT only beyond £90,000. Also by reducing the red tape that surrounds VAT compliance savings can be enhanced.

As businesses begin to understand and enjoy the many advantages that cloud computing offers them, rumors of associated security risks have been making the rounds. Experts say that these rumors are exaggerated. It is important for businesses to understand that the data stored in a cloud is managed by a team of IT specialists who consider data security to be the most important. Businesses can benefit tremendously by investing in cloud computing. This will allow employees to work from anywhere and at any time and they can also collaborate and share information in real time. Companies need to speak to cloud computing providers about how the technology works and put to rest any worries about security.

A growing number of UK employees feel swamped by the numerous e-mails they receive every day. A research study by Star indicates that 20% of respondents spend over an hour deal with internet based communication while 17% feel that they do very little other than responding to e-mails. Workers are legally obligated to retain and protect e-mail and thus, find themselves occupied with this task for a long period in the working day. It is important for businesses to find ways to help employees with such unstructured data and information and find easier and simpler ways of dealing with it.
