For years I used to have to plan for the budget, get any up front information available and watch every second of it for any changes effecting our businesses.

I've just realised that finally, 9 years later, I've broken the habit and have only just realised it's budget day tomorrow, so a great opportunity to get away from all the doom and gloom around Coronavirus :smile:

So what do we have to look forward to tomorrow ?

A chancellor with no experience or control being spoon fed by No10
Immediate risk of a Corona pandemic breaking out in the next few days/weeks
The very real possibility of a Global recession in the next few months
Finding out what type of Brexit we are going to get and how much of a hit it will be on the UK's economy over the next 9 months

Here Rishi, catch :lolol:

I assume Mr Cummings has fully briefed the chancellor.

Javid resigning threw him in the deep end with not much time, the current crisis added to that must make it a real baptism of fire.

Some last minute rejigging I’d guess. Major longer term tax/spending plans may be shelved for a while as the immediate crisis is tackled?

Saw the Italians have got banks to agree a mortgage/loan repayment holiday for small business and the public. Would help here to if things progress.

Social care tax of 2.5% for over 40’s was mooted, but will that still happen now?

One thing for certain is that it will bare no resemble to all the promises made in the general election. There will headlines (propaganda) and a load of PM blather about the greatest levels in investment a series of public services which have been stripped to the bone over the last ten years. The rich will benefit and the ordinary person on the street will get some token gestures. all a bit depressing really but it's want we wanted and all knew we were getting apparently

I'm surprised that there aren't long queues at petrol stations as it must be time for a fuel tax hike.

I'm investing £8million in the Parklife scheme to build proper football pitches for over 300,000 young people to play on.

Here's to finding the Le Tissiers of tomorrow. #Budget2020

Fly-tipping is a blight on communities up and down the country.

In #Budget2020 I’ll announce a series of measures to take on the fly-tippers.

The UK owes all ex-servicewomen and men a tremendous debt.

In my budget on Wednesday I’ll announce that employers will no longer pay National Insurance Contributions for ex-forces personnel for the first year of their work.

They do a job we help them get a job #Budget2020

Matt Le Tissier* was born and grew up in Guernsey, a Crown Dependency which sits outside of UK fiscal territory...

* and, indeed, the unrelated BHA player Maya Le Tissier.

I'll be interested to see what he does for the self-employed and owner/managers of personal service companies.

Whilst the employed get holiday pay, paternity, auto-enrolment pension and - now - statutory sick pay from Day 1 the rest of us get nothing, and added to that there is the uncertainty of Brexit and coronavirus.

Price it into your contract, or seek employment. You can't have it both ways.

So he finds them a job for a year, whereupon the company finds an excuse to ditch them.

IR35 was going to force my hand in to early retirement this April - did all my sums at Christmas and could just scrape by until my deferred final salary pension kicks in at 2026.
Now, them pesky Russians are having an oil war with the Saudis and the "made in China" virus has fvcked my SIPP.

So, who to blame? Barber OUT!
