On March 3 2021, Chancellor Rishi Sunak will take to the podium to unveil his 2021 Spring Budget, almost exactly a year since delivering his first.
Over the past year we have seen an array of legislative measures implemented; some have been introduced to react to the magnifying and devastating impacts of CV19, others introduced to coincide with ongoing matters such as Brexit and leaving the European Union.
In last year’s budget, ambitious infrastructure plans were revealed and the chancellor announced the highest level of investment since 1955. Following the Summer Statement unveiled on July 8, it was confirmed in September 2020 that the planned Autumn Budget would be scrapped due to the continuing effects of the pandemic.
So, what can we expect to see from Sunak this spring?
The UK Government has announced this budget will set out the next phase to tackle the virus, its plan to further protect jobs and will be published alongside the Office for Budget Responsibility’s latest forecasts.
