Economy talk

See my use of the word ‘lunatic’ above.

I suspect you have two hopes and one of them is Bob.

I thought you meant the scale of it. :+1:

Looks like the tapered extension of the stamp duty holiday until September should do it for you Wayne.

The stamp duty holiday that was in force when I bought my house paid for a new Submariner.
The chancellor missed a trick, everyone who buys a house can go on an ADs list for a new Rolex!

He’s splashing the cash. Not sure what the new green investment bank is compared to the odd one though.

LOL, was going to suggest a Freeports shot game before the start. Would be leathered by now.

A give and no take budget ? There’ll be tears at some point.

But Dogma!

And the amount BBC R4 bangs on about it in the morning. Every question is how are we going to pay for this?

Fuuuccckkkkkk.

Tax thresholds are frozen along with pension thresholds. That will raise a few billion in the next few years.

CG at 25 percent, another few billion

? £16bn from increasing corp tax and £6bn from freezing tax thresholds.

So looks like the stamp duty holiday extension could have helped but there’s no way I can imagine getting it sold and fully completed in time.

Increased corp tax might be a thing to have a chat with the accountant about.

For the man on the street, no take.

Who doesn’t require a personal tax allowance?

Corp tax goes up, prices go up

I’m sure it’s a coincidence but the 6% corp tax increase is pretty much the same tax exposure difference between inside and outside IR35 (35% and 29%)

Corp Tax stays at 19% if profit remains below £50k

I couldn’t possibly condone such behaviour, obviously, but possibly the investment rebate may be worth looking into

Surely time to invest in some collectable tools required for ones business, write them down over a couple of years then sell for a tidy tax free profit. Not that this ever happens, no sireeee
