The Budget 2008
12.03.08
So was this the 'Green Budget' or the Budget of 'resilience' – Alistair Darling's version of 'prudence'? No doubt the media will be the judge. What it certainly wasn't was a Budget of headline tax changes – that was last year, both in the Budget and the Pre-Budget report.
As a result, much of the detail announced today merely tells us what we already knew. As ever, there are some important changes tucked away in the detail.
Our tax experts have put together an analysis of those that are of most interest.
