The 2011 Budget

Steve Cooper

The annual Budget Speech by the Chancellor of the Exchequer provides all taxpayers with a prompt to look at their financial affairs before the start of the new tax year. This has to be done twice if you run a business as well as a household budget. 

I hope the commentary and links to other online material will make this task a little easier for you this year.

Many of the Budget measures are aligned with the Government’s Growth Agenda. No doubt you will have seen over recent months how the UK banks have reached agreements with the Government on how we can support this agenda as well.  Barclays Business is fully committed to all these initiatives. Whatever you business circumstances – going for growth or otherwise – keep us informed of your plans and we will see how we can help.
