Next cashes in on M&S cyber chaos: Wolfson delivers third profit upgrade in just five months

Next has raised its profit forecasts as it cashes in on the cyber attack at rival Marks & Spencer. Defying gloom on the High Street, the fashion retailer announced its third upgrade in five months after sales came in £49million higher than anticipated. UK sales in the past 13 weeks were 7.8 per cent higher than a year earlier, which it put down to the weather and M&S's woes. A cyber attack crippled its rival's website orders and caused disruption in shops. This sent shoppers in the direction of competitors, including Next, which sells many of the same third-party brands online. M&S expects a £300million dent to profits this year. By contrast, Next expects £25million in extra profits, meaning that they will pass £1.1billion for the year. Next became just the fourth UK retailer to score £1billion in annual profits last year, joining Tesco, M&S and B&Q owner Kingfisher in a select club. The update came a day after Next said it has saved Seraphine, the maternity brand favoured by the Princess of Wales, by buying it for £600,000. The firm, whose dresses and other clothes were worn by Kate during her pregnancies, crashed into administration last month with the loss of 95 jobs. Next has a record for scooping up brands of collapsed retailers, such as FatFace and Joules. Lord Wolfson, whose insights into the UK's economic health are closely watched, has steered it since 2001. In that time sales have soared, as many have struggled. Yesterday, Pets at Home slashed its annual profit forecast, citing 'subdued' demand, and this week bakery chain Greggs said heatwaves in June dragged profits down. But Next 'remains cautious for the second half' and is not upgrading sales expectations as it will not benefit from disruption at M&S or good weather, while a weak job market will hit sales. It said: 'We expect employment opportunities to continue to diminish as we enter the second half, with the effects of April's National Insurance changes continuing to filter through into the economy. We believe this will increasingly dampen consumer spending.' The worry comes as figures published today show sales in shops grew just 0.8pc this month compared to July 2024. As this was significantly below inflation, it means volumes have plunged for a seventh month in a row, figures from accountants BDO show.

Apple fans rush to buy MacBook for only £99 after 54% price slash

Perfect for anyone looking for a 'dependable' laptop for web browsing, streaming or studying. While laptops are handy devices for taking notes, streaming or browsing the web and social media, many of the latest models on the market come with hefty price tags, especially if tech lovers are fans of Apple. For example, the latest 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro is currently retailing from £1,499. While many of us would like to get our hands on the shiniest tech to hit the shelves, for quite a few of us it simply isn't affordable. However, for those who are happy purchasing an older model that can complete your basic tasks, we have found a cracking deal. Wowcher has a variety of older pieces of tech for sale as they believe that technology is supposed to be 'timeless'. As a result, Apple fans can now get their hands on a MacBook for only £99 after it was slashed from £215. It should be noted that this MacBook is the 2008 model and it is also a refurbished product. This means that it has been tested and worked on by experts to return it to its out of box quality, with shoppers only seeing some cosmetic wear. This laptop is said to be 'functional' and of an 'acceptable standard', reports Liverpool Echo. Perfect for students and families who are looking for a 'dependable' laptop to help complete everyday tasks or to be a reliable study companion, the 2008 Apple MacBook is equipped with a 13-inch display for easy binge watching, as well as a robust 4GB of RAM and a generous 160GB hard drive. Pre-installed with all of your essential apps, this laptop will be ready to use straight out of the box. For those looking for an Apple quality laptop for an unbeatable price, this may be the best purchase for you. Once shoppers have selected the deal, they will be sent a voucher code and instructions on how to redeem the device. For those wanting something a bit more up to date, Amazon has reduced the price of the 2020 Apple MacBook Pro. This refurbished device normally retails for £420.99, but tech lovers can now grab this 16GB RAM laptop for £399.99.

One reviewer said: "Over the past couple of years, Wowcher has been an absolute gem for me. I've consistently found amazing deals on everything from dining experiences and getaways to household items and gifts." While another shopper simply wrote: "Easy to order and fantastic discounts. Great experience." However, one shopper did struggle with the website, writing: "Website is really hard to understand and it doesn't really explain about vouchers." While another reviewer also noted: "It was easy to buy gym passes, but very difficult to erase, delete or change orders yourself. So have to contact staff to sort which can take a lot of time on WhatsApp. And nobody to actually talk to when trying to sort issues." Despite this, a top reviewer added: "It was very easy to both buy my Macbook Air & equally easy to redeem the voucher qr code to get the order on its way to me." With a sixth shopper commenting: "Make it easy and straightforward to purchase an array of goods from many suppliers from home. "Will certainly use Wowcher again. I am impressed with the ongoing support leading me through the ordering process and redeeming vouchers." To buy the Apple MacBook (2008) from Wowcher, click HERE.

HMRC warning as people risk fines with deadline fast approaching

The second payment on account for the 2024/25 tax bill is due by midnight on July 31 (tonight), and self-employed workers are being urged to act to avoid penalties His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is issuing a last-minute reminder for the looming deadline that falls today. Self-employed individuals are being prompted to settle the second payment on account for their 2024/25 tax bill by midnight on July 31, 2025, to sidestep any late penalties. ‌ With over 12 million people anticipated to submit a tax return and settle any due taxes this year, HMRC has implemented payments on account as a means to prevent taxpayers from facing a hefty single bill. ‌ Taking to social media, the government department announced: "Today is the deadline for #SelfAssessment customers to make their payment on account." They encouraged taxpayers to "pay online or via the HMRC app." This comes after recent news of a £200 payment for state pensioners born before 1959 to be made soon. ‌ These interim payments are mandatory for customers whose previous self-assessment bill exceeded £1,000, or for those who had less than 80% of their tax collected through PAYE. Each instalment amounts to half of the previous year's tax liability, reports the Liverpool Echo. Failure to pay up will trigger automatic penalties from HMRC. The requirement to file self-assessment returns extends to self-employed professionals, high-income earners, and certain parents, while most UK taxpayers have their taxes deducted directly from salaries, pensions, or savings and do not need to complete a return. ‌ HMRC advises anyone struggling to meet their tax obligations to get in touch promptly. It may be possible to arrange a payment plan that distributes the cost over a period, helping to dodge additional fines. Known as a Time to Pay arrangement, this option requires individuals to have their relevant tax reference number, such as the unique tax reference, and UK bank account details where they're authorised to set up a Direct Debit. The Government has unveiled new services for those who pay tax through Self Assessment, aimed at streamlining the process and making it more user-friendly. ‌ As part of its Transformation Roadmap, released on July 21, 2025, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has introduced a range of measures designed to assist customers in their dealings with the department. These measures include: Improvements on the Digital Self Assessment registration and opt out processes Bringing out enhanced on-screen messages to help customers and reduce waiting times on enquiries Fixing the online appeals process for filing and late payment penalties HMRC is advising customers to take advantage of the summer period by filing their Self Assessment tax return for the 2024 to 2025 tax year early - potentially coinciding with the settlement of their Payment on Account. By filing early, taxpayers will be aware of the amount they owe and could possibly reduce their next Payment on Account if there's been a drop in income. Additionally, should a refund be warranted, it can be processed more promptly. HMRC emphasises: "Paying on time avoids any potential penalties and interest as HMRC charges a late payment penalty from the day after the deadline. Payments can be made quickly, securely and at any time via the HMRC app, which also allows customers to check their tax account."
