SPRING BUDGET 2023: SUMMARY
Chancellor Hunt billed his Budget as a Budget for growth with emphasis on fixing problems in the labour market alongside improving business investment and innovation
For the former he has addressed barriers to staying in work experienced by high earners with large pension pots, and provided some help to parents who are looking for affordable childcare.
Under the investment heading he announced incentives for investment in 12 new investment zones, and a ‘fully expensed‘ system of obtaining tax relief for plant and machinery.
The chancellor also confirmed that the energy price guarantee for domestic consumers would remain in place for another three months keeping the annual bill for an average household at £2,500 for the year.
