Spring Budget 2020

12 March 2020

Budget day kicked off with an early announcement of a bank interest rate cut.  The coronavirus completely overshadowed the Spring Budget 2020 with a £30bn package of measures which the Government has put together to support businesses and individuals.

There were a number of key tax announcements:

• Reduction in the Entrepreneurs’ relief lifetime allowance from £10m to £1m.
• Zero-rating of electronic books and publications from December 2020 – a welcome break in the run up to Christmas.
• Corporation tax to remain at 19%.
• Employees to benefit from zero emission company vehicles.
• No movement on off-payroll reforms.
• VAT Reverse Charge for Construction to go ahead in October.
