Autumn Budget 2025 - Detailed Summary

The leaky Red Box


The most surprising thing about the latest Budget was that someone at the Office for Budget Responsibility appears to have pressed the wrong button and published its report about 40 minutes before the Chancellor stood up, rather than just after she sat down. This meant that the pundits were discussing the contents of the Budget before it had been delivered, which was unprecedented.



In this document we have summarised the main tax proposals and their impact, and also included reminders of some matters announced in previous Budgets but only now coming into force. If you would like to discuss what it all means for you, we will be happy to help.
