Dubbed the ‘back to work budget’ Chancellor Jeremy Hunt claimed his budget will increase the workforce and boost the economy.
A puzzle was also posed by the Office for Budget Responsibility. They predict that the UK will avoid recession in 2023 but the economy will still shrink by 0.2%. Some were left scratching their heads. Are both things really possible?
Our comprehensive guide can be viewed below. But with a focus on business-related announcements, here are the highlights from his hour-long speech:
✅ Main rate of corporation tax, paid by businesses on taxable profits over £250,000, confirmed to increase from 19% to 25%
✅ Companies with profits between £50,000 and £250,000 to pay between 19% and 25% corporation tax
✅ Companies can expense 100% of the costs on qualifying plant and machinery assets from 1 April 2023- 31 March 2026. This will substantially accelerate total tax relief in year 1
✅ Loss-making SMEs undertaking R&D will be able to claim a credit worth £27 for every £100 they spend, if they spend 40% or more of their total expenditure on Research and Development. This only partially softens the blow of the previously announced cuts to the R&D rate for SMEs in general, due to come in from 1 April 2023 (net benefit for profit-makers down from 24.7% to 21.5% and for loss-makers down from 33.35% to 18.6%) and only for those “R&D-intensive” businesses. Everyone else will suffer the new, lower rates. See our previous article, written by Head of R&D Chris, for more information on the rate changes.
✅ Tax breaks and other benefits for 12 new Investment Zones across the UK, funded by £80m each over the next five years
✅ Reduced paperwork for international traders, who will also be given longer to submit customs forms under streamlined rules
✅ VAT exemption to be extended to services carried out by staff directly supervised by registered pharmacists
✅ HMRC is inviting views on a potential further extension of VAT relief for energy saving materials
✅ £20bn invested over next two decades on low-carbon energy projects, with a focus on carbon capture and storage
✅ Nuclear energy to be classed as environmentally sustainable for investment purposes
✅ The lifetime allowance for pension savings is to be scrapped with effect from 6 April
✅ Annual allowance for pension contributions to rise from £40,000 to £60,000
✅ Fuel duty frozen
✅ Boost for pubs. From August, alcohol taxes in pubs to be 11p in the pound lower than the rate in supermarkets
✅ Household energy bills subsidy extended for three months, until the end of June
✅ Jobs and work-related initiatives – childcare subsidies and support for families. Benefits changes to encourage work and provide support for people with disabilities and over 50s.
