The Chancellor will deliver the Autumn Budget to Parliament on 30 October 2024.
The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has put forward solutions they want to see from the Chancellor on 30 October. The BCC's budget submission focuses on policy recommendations to encourage investment, strengthen the workforce and develop our local economies.
- Create a competitive investment environment by expanding full expensing to leased assets and promoting North Sea investment.
- Support a healthier workforce by reducing the employer and employee tax on workplace health services.
- Engage employers in skills planning by extending investment in Local Skills Improvement Plans and addressing gaps in local training provision.
- Reform business rates, with the aim of lowering the multiplier to 45p by the end of this Parliament.
- Invest in infrastructure by delivering previously planned transport projects, improving rail capacity, and updating planning rules to increase employment land supply.
