Given the significant increases already announced in September in the form of the Health and Social Care Levy and increase in dividend rates, there were very few notable tax measures announced by the Chancellor in today’s Autumn Budget.
Instead, most of the Chancellor’s speech focussed on the positive recovery of the UK economy since the start of the pandemic, largely as a scene-setter as to why fundamental changes were not required.
Our Autumn Budget 2021 guide analyses the most significant tax announcements, provides a summary of what hasn’t changed, and explains how the measures announced are likely to affect taxpayers.
