UK Budget Backlash — Joseph Sternberg — Sternberg analyzes the public and parliamentary backlash against Chancellor Rachel Reeves' budget, which raises aggregate taxation to record peacetime levels despite pre-election assurances of fiscal restraint. Sternberg argues that these substantial tax increases combined with welfare expansion will systematically stifle economic growth, eroding business confidence and investment. Sternberg documents public perception that the Labour government deliberately misrepresented the fiscal situation regarding the alleged "black hole," violating electoral promises and generating widespread voter disaffection regarding governmental transparency and fiscal management. 1940 LONDON

In this episode, Steve Wallis and I sit down to unpack what the latest UK Budget really means for commercial property investors. There's been so much noise, speculation and confusion over the past week, so we're cutting through the chaos and focusing purely on what impacts you if you own, manage or plan to buy commercial property.We break down the new tax rules on property income coming in from 2027, including the introduction of separate tax bands for rental profits and what this means if you hold property in your personal name versus through an SPV. We also discuss the increases to dividend tax, how this affects anyone extracting profits from a company, and why overall this Budget pushes investors even further towards using corporate structures.Together, we cover the changes to salary sacrifice pension contributions, the government's tougher stance on HMRC enforcement, and the move towards more automatic and regular tax payments for Self Assessment — all of which will influence cashflow planning and portfolio management.By the end of the episode, you'll understand exactly what's changing, how it affects your current investments, and where the opportunities now sit.

Send us a textThe UK economy has been in the spotlight recently as Finance Minister - or Chancellor of the Exchequer as she's known in Britain - Rachel Reeves delivered the annual budget.With her Labour party languishing in the polls in spite of their landslide election victory 18 months ago, sluggish growth and a real cost of living crisis, the pressure was really on. And not everyone is happy as she delivered measures which mean British citizens will now face the highest tax take ever. So what does this say about the economics, and politics of the UK? And its standing on the world stage? Joining Juliet Mann on this edition of The Agenda are Vicky Pryce, Chief Economic Adviser at the Centre for Economics and Business Research, Iain Begg, Professorial Research Fellow at the European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science and Chris Southworth, Secretary General of the International Chamber of Commerce

Cathal Rochford of Blevins Franks International Tax and Wealth Management talks to Howard Brereton #Wealth #Tax #WealthManagement #Spain #Expat #Brexit

On the 27th of November, I had the good fortune to speak with a friend of the pod, Simon French, Head of Research at Panmure Liberum, and Thomas Moore, Senior Investment Director at Aberdeen, to discuss the UK Budget and its implications.  Simon, who writes a regular column in the Times, is a go-to person on the UK economy, and Thomas is steeped in experience and understanding of the value and income attractions of UK equities, with a long and successful track record of managing the Aberdeen Equity Income Trust.    We had a great chat and distinguished the essential differences between the UK economy and the UK market. But also at the risk of mansplaining, they also identified what more needs to be done for the UK economy to deliver growth and, importantly, to make UK assets more attractive to global capital.  But of course, none of what you are about to hear is any kind of advice, but just for your information and hopefully entertainment. Please take personal financial advice before investing a penny of your money into these crazy markets.  And with that said, please enjoy my conversation with Simon French and Thomas Moore.  Brought to you by Progressive Equity.

Two days after Rachel Reeves delivered her first budget, Calum Macdonald and former No.10 special adviser Kirsty Buchanan break down what really happened — from the OBR leak, to the tax rises, to the political strategy behind one of the most controversial fiscal events in years.Economist Simon French (Panmure Liberum) joins to assess: • Why the markets didn't panic • Whether this budget really “clobbers working people” • Why business rates may spike for pubs & hospitality • Whether inflation could now fall faster • If the tax pain scheduled for 2027–2029 is even credibleWe also examine the biggest brewing storm: A £6 billion black hole in Special Educational Needs (SEND) funding and the government's unclear plan to fill it.✨ Including discussion of welfare spending, Labour strategy, the markets, business rates, and parents' fury over potential education cuts.If you enjoy behind-the-scenes Westminster insights and real economic analysis, subscribe to Whitehall Sources.

What to Expect in the November UK Budget — And 5 Tax Hikes Rachel Reeves Might Impose to fill her ‘BLACK HOLE' As Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares to unveil the November 2025 UK Budget, all eyes are on her to plug a fiscal black hole of £20–30 billion through tax rises and spending cuts. (Reuters) Despite Labour's manifesto pledges not to increase income tax, National Insurance (NI), or VAT, Reeves has already hinted that taxes on the wealthy will “be part of the story.” (The Guardian) The Institute for Fiscal Studies warns against a “dash for revenue,” urging her to use smart, targeted reforms. (The Guardian). Below are 5 likely tax rises she might deploy: Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Increase or Removal of ReliefsReeves may bring CGT rates closer to income tax levels or abolish favourable reliefs, especially for high-value assets. (The Guardian) National Insurance on Rental Income / Professional ProfitsApplying NI contributions to landlord earnings or profits from legal firms and consultancies is under consideration to broaden the tax base. (The Guardian) Inheritance Tax (IHT) ReformsProposals include removing the residence nil-rate band, narrowing exemptions, and taxing agricultural estates more heavily. (The Guardian) Cash ISA Allowance ReducedReeves could cut the tax-free cash ISA limit from £20,000 to £10,000 or restructure cushions to funnel savings into investments. (MoneyWeek) Council Tax Surcharges & Higher BandsIntroducing surcharges on high-value properties or adding new bands (G/H) is on the table to raise billions without touching core rates. (Institute for Fiscal Studies) What This Means for You These tax changes could reshape property investing, retirement planning, and asset strategies. If you're a landlord, investor, or homeowner, now is the time to review your capital gains exposure, inheritance planning, and use of ISAs before the 26 November Budget drops. Watch full video - https://youtu.be/jITL4nOmBEo The Chancellor could also tinker with pension allowances and the tax free cash element of pension pots, which would be disastrous for savers approaching retirement age.

Money, it's often said, is a form of trust and central banks are the custodians of that trust; it's their job to guarantee that the money they issue maintains stable purchasing power. More recently, that's been no easy task. Witness President Donald Trump's attacks on the independence of the US Federal Reserve. The FT's chief economics commentator, Martin Wolf, speaks to Agustín Carstens, former general manager of the Bank for International Settlements – the “central bank of central banks” – and one-time governor of the Bank of Mexico, to discuss what central banks can do to maintain trust in a fractured world and asks if they must modernise to maintain authority.Martin Wolf is the FT's chief economics commentator.
