The Spring Budget 2021 | Full Summary

The Spring Budget 2021 | Full Summary

In the latest Budget speech, the Chancellor attempted to strike a balance between continuing to prop up the businesses worst affected by COVID-19, while setting out a roadmap to wean the UK economy off this emergency support.

Sunak resisted the urge to start raising the main taxes in a bid to rebuild the UK economy and tattered public finances, however, his hands were somewhat tied by the Conservative election manifesto of 2019, which pledged not to raise the rates of income tax, National Insurance contributions or VAT until 2024.

Overall, the Chancellor is still clearly in spend mode, but with hints of what might be waiting down the road as the UK economy starts to recover and the national debt demands to be paid.
