Chancellor George Osborne presented this year’s Budget at a time of economic and political uncertainty, with the latest figures from the Office for Budget Responsibility confirming recent reports of a slowdown in the UK economy, and amid ongoing debate over the implications of Britain’s potential exit from the EU.
The Chancellor announced a number of significant measures for businesses and individuals, including cuts to corporation tax and capital gains tax, and significant reforms to the business rates regime. Also unveiled in the 2016 Budget was a new Lifetime ISA for the under-40s, together with a future sugar levy on the soft drinks industry.
