Farewell Spring Budget…
The Chancellor has decided that this years Budget will be the last one to take place in the spring. Last year he decided that he wanted to simplify the whole business of setting taxes and government spending. Many argue that this process has become far too complicated thanks to not one but two budgets happening in one year.
What will become of the Spring 2017 Budget? The Spring Budget will become autumn ones (with the first being later this year), while the Autumn Statement will become a spring one (with the first being in 2018).
