Hub eNews: Budget news for your clients
"Despite the immediate headlines, the 2012 Budget was principally political in that the Conservatives have no chance of winning the next election if voters do not believe the economy is back on track. Everything else flowed from this, including Osborne finally remembering there is such a thing as a Laffer Curve and thus grasping the nettle of the top rate of tax. Otherwise - and I say this as a result of, not to diminish, all the hard work Marketing-hub.co.uk has put in to offer you and your clients a Budget overview as well as a Tax focus and some thoughts on the Investment implications - the chancellor's latest effort was a prime example of how Budgets rarely amount to anything more than tinkering around the edges of a zero-sum game."
