Looking forward (if that is the right expression) to the budget! In just over a week Rachel Reeves will deliver the new governments first budget. There has been a lot of speculation over the past weeks and months about what may happen. Rumours of rises in inheritance tax, capital gains tax and employer national insurance are rife. There is also the small matter (for the housing market) of stamp duty changes in the spring! One thing that is clear….the government needs more money. We will find out where it is coming from next week!
