Personally, I was (and am) more worried about the Autumn Budget. The major changes were always more likely to occur in the Autumn, once Taylor has reported and the PS changes have bedded in; HMT were also playing down the Spring Budget as a time for any major tax or spending decisions. Hate to be mongering doom, but...Originally posted by Maslins View Postthe changes announced yesterday will make naff all difference IMHO.

Its one reason why I went WTF when the NI changes were announced but won't be implemented until April 18. There wasn't even any reason to announce them yesterday just wait for the report to appear and announce them as part of that review...Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostPersonally, I was (and am) more worried about the Autumn Budget.

Yes, totally cack-handed. I thought it would be an increase in C4 NI plus dividend tax on April 6 or nothing.Originally posted by eek View PostIts one reason why I went WTF when the NI changes were announced but won't be implemented until April 18.

I agree. But then, you and I probably aren't the ones on Twitter raving about an attack on small business.Originally posted by Maslins View PostPerhaps...but I'd far prefer he rant and rave whilst doing something trivial than say lots of fluffy nice things whilst screwing us.
Public sector IR35 - looking like it'll be devastating, though admittedly more due to uncertainty and risk averse-ness rather than anything else.
"Dividend tax" last year - a couple of grand extra personal tax for most.
FRS changes - perhaps a grand or two loss for many.
In comparison the changes announced yesterday are utterly trivial.
Yesterday was the first time the sole trader with a moderate income was told by government that he's a problem and a tax avoider, and so has to pay more tax.Comment

Oh, there's a reason.Originally posted by eek View PostIts one reason why I went WTF when the NI changes were announced but won't be implemented until April 18. There wasn't even any reason to announce them yesterday just wait for the report to appear and announce them as part of that review...
If it settles down nicely between now and the Autumn, they got away with it. If it totally blows up in their faces, they can heroically find another solution, roll it back to just 0.5% to replace Class 2, and announce it all in the Autumn. Then, they can announce with great fanfare that "we've listened."

I think any listening in the Autumn Budget is going to be directed towards the ErNI side of the coin, rather than EeNI. Afterall, that's the major discrepancy now, not the EeNI.Originally posted by WordIsBond View PostOh, there's a reason.

Or cancel Trident and have bundles left over...Originally posted by waitwaitwait View PostI read somewhere they plan on recouping £440m from public sector contractors. I'm just thinking that'll cover some of the money the government has wasted on failed projects?!
