Spring Budget 2023

Where to find our written commentary and recordings of our live events.

Details of our Budget commentary

On 15 March 2023 the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, delivered his Spring Budget. He delivered a Budget with significant fiscal loosening and managed to address many of the concerns circulating in the headlines but there were still some gaps. Most announcements were trailed in advance and the only surprise was the abolishment of, rather than increase in, the pensions lifetime allowance. Overall it reflected a calmer approach following months of political and economic upheaval. In this article we set out how to find recordings of our live events and our initial commentary, including our separate summaries of the implications for businesses, employers and individuals. We also include more detailed commentary of some of the key tax measures in this edition of Tax Matters Digest.

Readers can find all our Spring Budget commentary on our dedicated external webpage. This includes recordings of our two live events:

  • Our LinkedIn Live event hosted by Tim Sarson, UK Head of Tax Policy, on the afternoon of the Budget to share our initial impressions; and
  • Our webinar on 17 March 2023 where our experts took a deep dive into the full impacts of the Spring Budget.
