What will change forever? By Richard Cohen FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner The changes to everyday life caused by coronavirus and the associated lockdown have been rapid. With every announcement I can’t help but wonder what changes are here to stay and the long-term implications. Having established the principal of working from home, if more people continue to do it long term, what impact does this have for train operators? Perhaps home workers will want faster broadband connections, which are more profitable for the telecom’s companies providing them. Will those who shun online shopping but due to shielding now utilise it out of necessity, continue to use it? If so, supermarkets with a strong online offering and delivery infrastructure, may go on to thrive whereas those who have concentrated on in-store experience may struggle. Away from corporate winners and losers, will we see a demand for State Benefits to be increased long term? The 80% of pay capped at £2,500 for “furloughed” workers is higher than most other benefits. Could this higher level of protection for
employees, funded by the State become the norm? The self-employed have been given a safety net in a way they haven’t before; this could lead to a levelling on the playing field in the taxation between the employed and the selfemployed. Those working “cash in hand” who failed to declare income to evade tax have missed out on the various Government support schemes. Paying your taxes has always been the right and legal thing to do but perhaps a few of those who have abused the system may now see the benefit of declaring their income as they should. All these changes would have an impact on finances, some costs may reduce, others increase, taxes may increase to pay higher benefits and with higher State protection the need for certain insurances may reduce. Of course, all this is speculation and things could go back to exactly how they were before, but it seems unlikely.
