The Budget 2016

George Osborne presented the first Spring Budget of this Parliament on Wednesday 16 March 2016.

 

In his speech the Chancellor reported on ‘an economy set to grow faster than any other major advanced economy in the world’.

 

Towards the end of last year the government issued the majority of the clauses, in draft, of Finance Bill 2016 together with updates on consultations. Publication of draft Finance Bill clauses is now an established way in which tax policy is developed, communicated and legislated.

 

The Budget updates some of these previous announcements and also proposes further measures. Some of these changes apply immediately, others in April 2016 and some take effect at a later date.

 

Our summary focuses on the issues likely to affect you, your family and your business. To help you decipher what was said we have included our own comments. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us for advice.

 

Main Budget tax proposals

 

Our summary concentrates on the tax measures which include:

  • reductions in the rates of capital gains tax
  • introduction of a Lifetime ISA for under 40s
  • changes to Entrepreneurs’ Relief
  • abolition of Class 2 NIC
  • reduction in the corporation tax rate

Testimonials

"If I am able to build up and sell another company, I would certainly engage GAD for the sales process again. I had never done this before, but from start of the Due Diligence and Heads of Terms to finishing with Completion, they were great. Very reasonable fees too!"
"The whole experience of my dealings with the firm have been of the highest quality! Professionalism, politeness and expedition were all above and beyond"
"We would both like to thank you for your kind / personal approach to our legal matters, which given some complexities sometimes is so nice to receive. We would not have any hesitation in recommending you and indeed Gregory Abrams to any of our friends and colleagues in the future."
