Almost, of course, unemployment and inflation will increase unemployment, because the enterprise has cut off work and even considers the documents Three-quarters of the price “With low true salary” will be transferred to employees. ”

This gave people a loose ring due to the opinions that the people working in the work of higher income tax, national insurance or VAT.

Nevertheless, Reeves did a good job to sound very very enthusiastic. The general headroom against financial rules is still minimal, thus the future tax threat remains.

Attempting to try to grow by planning reforms, it can be something that needs to be increased to growing defense costs and convenient financial adjustment, but none can move the needle much and a weaker job base means consumer confidence already under pressure.

The country has the most respected tax experts in the country called the government Think it will be courageous and courageous to facilitate the system and be brave and Problems that last long an offer to increase growth and productivity. I suspect that politicians will listen to.

So far, a feeling frequently expressed The government is to continue to increase your tax discounts to maximize before the government reduces them by the FT. I do not surprise that investment platforms this year flocked to an unusual degree this year – a phenomenon Called “Reeves Effect” – And I guess the new tax year of April will not matter.

Summer Declaration documents are still considered the desire to “the correct balance” between the money and shares to “increase retail culture” in the UK in England.
