On Wednesday 19 March, the Olswang award-winning tax team will be discussing the changes announced by the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer in his 2014 Budget and providing expert commentary on their impact. Despite the gathering pace of the UK economic recovery, the Chancellor has warned that there is a ‘long way to go’ and that 2014 will be ‘a year of hard truths’. With a 2015 general election looming, the Budget will be more political than most as the sitting Government coalition parties seek to set the scene for their forthcoming manifestos. It is likely to contain measures to boost housebuilding, exports and business investment.
