Your Guide to the Autumn Budget (2026)

Autumn Budget 2026: key announcements and what they mean

Last week, Chancellor John Healey set out the government's tax and spending plans in his Budget – the first since Andy Burnham became prime minister.

From tax thresholds and pensions to business reliefs and investment incentives, several significant changes have been announced that could shape financial planning over the coming years. 

While some measures take effect immediately, others are scheduled for 2027 and beyond, giving taxpayers and businesses time to prepare. 

However, understanding which measures affect you, and what action is worth considering now, is often more challenging than understanding the announcements themselves.
