Sugar Tax caught the headlines, but a budget initially billed as being ‘boring’ has some interesting reforms:

Capital Gains Tax rates down from 28% to 20% for higher earners;

 

Income tax basic rate band up to £45,000 (unless you are in Scotland);

 

Business rates reform…although not for our own modest office!

 

Class 2 NIC  to be scrapped …at the risk of being sarcastic…a saving of £145 a year!

 

Lifetime ISA’s and a 25% ‘bonus’; sounds too good?
