Chancellor's Spring Budget 2021
The Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, presented his Spring Budget on Wednesday 03 March 2021. In his speech he stated “we are at the beginning of a new era in this country. We have the freedom and the resources to decide our own future”.
The Government announced a series of support packages for those businesses who may be affected by the Coronavirus outbreak. There was also a huge amount of investment agreed for UK infrastructure, alongside a host of taxation measures that could have implications for your personal and business’ affairs.
To help you to understand how these updates will affect you, your family and your business, we have produced a summary of the main changes broken down into the areas that are most likely to be of interest to you, including personal, business, employment and capital taxes. As always, the devil will be in the detail.
We hope you find this budget summary useful but if you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us for advice.
