The Chancellor’s Budget proposals have been well publicised in various forms since he gave his Budget speech. However, based on past experience we have found that our clients and others have welcomed our summary of the proposals that will have a particular impact on financial planning. This summary also includes comments where appropriate which we hope you will find helpful.

To see a copy of our summary which you can download or print off please visit our website www.arch-fp.co.uk. You will also be able to see, download, or print off tax tables showing the position following the Budget Proposals.

Some of these proposals will no doubt change before they are enacted. However, it is important that financial plans are reviewed in the light of the likely changes.

These Budget notes are intended as a guide only. The information given is based on our understanding of the Chancellor’s proposals. Whilst we believe our interpretation of the proposals to be correct, we cannot be responsible for the effects of any future legislation or any change in interpretation or treatment.You should not make changes to your financial planning on the strength of these Budget notes but talk through your personal situation with an independent financial adviser such as ourselves. Please note that this information does not constitute personal advice and should not be treated as a substitute for specific advice based on your circumstances.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of your investments, pensions or other financial planning, please ask your usual Arch adviser, telephone 01483 204600 or email enquiries@arch-fp.co.uk.
