No Accounting for Taste ep86: Budget 2021 debrief

Burton Sweet’s Nigel Harris joins the No Accounting for Taste team this week to reminisce about Budgets past and present. A week after Chancellor Rishi Sunak delivered his 3 March Budget, AccountingWEB editors Richard Hattersley and John Stokdyk unpick the key announcements and to interpret what the Budget will mean for accountants.  Nigel Harris, a partner at Burton Sweet and seasoned Budget commentator on AccountingWEB, is in the accountant's corner this week. Continuing a 20 year Budget tradition, Harris shares his thoughts on everything from corporation tax, the extension of furlough and much more.   There weren’t many big surprises at the Budget - mainly because most of the announcements had been leaked in advance. But amongst Sunak’s playing of his greatest hits, there were a few unexpected announcements such as the super-deduction on capital allowances.
