While acknowledging the Prime Minister\u2019s two objectives of halving inflation and reducing debt, Mr Hunt focused his Spring Budget on the Prime Minister\u2019s third objective \u2013 getting the economy going.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In a wide-ranging and longer than usual speech, there were some key headline items:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The inflation rate is forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility to fall from 10.1% (January 2023) to just 2.9% by the end of 2023.<\/li>\n<li>The lifetime allowance for pensions will be abolished from April 2024, with the lifetime allowance charge withdrawn from April 2023.<\/li>\n<li>A new monetary limit for the tax-free pension commencement lump sum will be introduced for 2023\/24 of \u00a3268,275 (equivalent to 25% of the current standard lifetime allowance).<\/li>\n<li>The annual allowance for pensions will increase by 50% to \u00a360,000 from 2023\/24 and the money purchase annual allowance will rise from \u00a34,000 to \u00a310,000 from 2023\/24.<\/li>\n<li>Companies investing in new plant and machinery in the three years from 1 April 2023 can claim a first-year allowance of up to 100% of expenditure.<\/li>\n<li>Small and medium-sized enterprises that spend 40% or more of their total expenditure on research and development can claim a tax credit worth \u00a327 for every \u00a3100 they spend from April 2023.<\/li>\n<li>The energy price guarantee is maintained at the current \u00a32,500 level until the end of June 2023.<\/li>\n<li>Up to 30 hours of free childcare per week will be available to working parents of children from the age of nine months by September 2025. Initially, from April 2024, working parents of two-year-olds will be able to access 15 hours of free childcare per week.<\/li>\n<li>The scheduled 11p a litre duty increases in petrol and diesel will not go ahead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As ever the Budget documentation contained a wealth of detail and much to digest, our Budget Summary highlights the key aspects likely to affect you.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/devstagesite.co.uk\/smhgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Spring-Budget-2023-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Download our Spring Budget 2023 summary here<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/devstagesite.co.uk\/smhgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Tax-Tables-2023-24.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Download our Tax Tables 2023\/24 here<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>If you have any questions about what you should do next, please get in touch with your local office, or contact us on <strong>0114 266 4432<\/strong> or <a href=\"mailto:info@smh.group\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>info@smh.group<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After presenting a Budget-in-all-but name with the Autumn Statement, the Spring Budget 2023 was delivered against the backdrop of a day of widespread industrial action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":24620,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,3,958,939,26,189,16,942,832,175,943,2],"tags":[350,296,992,191,739,394,24,991,19],"class_list":["post-24616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-smh","category-smh-accounting-business-advisory","category-smh-bcl-accountants","category-smh-bullockwoodburn","category-commercial-finance","category-corporate-finance","category-financial-services","category-smh-haywoodco","category-smh-jolliffe-cork","category-residential-mortgages","category-smh-suttonmcgrathhartley","category-wills-probate","tag-annual-allowance","tag-childcare","tag-energy-price-guarantee","tag-finance","tag-fuel-duty","tag-lifetime-allowance","tag-pensions","tag-spring-budget-2023","tag-tax"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
