The U.S. economy is rebounding strongly from the recession. That has led to a surge in people seeking everything from new cars to hotel stays, leaving businesses struggling to find enough components and employees to meet the demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report said that business sectors dealing with transportation, travel and tourism, and manufacturing all experienced above-average economic growth in the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" aria-label=\"Manufacturing.net (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturing.net\/economics\/news\/21563518\/fed-survey-us-economy-strong-but-hindered-by-bottlenecks\" target=\"_blank\">Manufacturing.net<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"link-77b16dbe\">Democrats Call for a Tax on Imports From Polluting Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Top Democrats agreed to include a tax on imports from nations that lack aggressive climate change policies as part of their $3.5 trillion budget plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move to tax imports was made public Wednesday, the same day that the European Union outlined its own proposal for a similar carbon border tax, a novel tool that is designed to protect domestic manufacturing while simultaneously pressuring other countries to reduce the emissions that are warming the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" aria-label=\"The New York Times (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/07\/14\/climate\/border-carbon-tax-united-states.html?\" target=\"_blank\">The New York Times<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Era for R&amp;D Tax Relief: Vital Funding for UK Manufacturing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many UK manufacturers, R&amp;D tax relief has become a tried-and-trusted way to fund investment in R&amp;D. The incentive has offered firms a steady source of cash with which to hire more staff, develop new products and overcome shocks like COVID-19 and Brexit-induced supply chain disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HMRC has grown increasingly concerned about errors (and fraud) occurring in R&amp;D tax relief claims. As such, it has introduced a number of measures aimed at improving the quality of R&amp;D claims (such as 100 new compliance staff to its R&amp;D unit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" aria-label=\"The Manufacturer (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.themanufacturer.com\/articles\/a-new-era-for-rd-tax-relief-vital-funding-for-uk-manufacturing\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Manufacturer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is DigitalisationTransforming the Manufacturing Industry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufacturing is going through a digital transformation and smart technology, data analytics and connected devices are enabling manufacturers to dramatically increase their efficiency, productivity and accuracy.
