Reeves confirms first Budget date: 30th October 2024

The new Government's first Budget will be delivered on 11th March 2020; it will "usher in a decade of renewal" says Chancellor Sajid Javid.

'All we hope for is a reduction in SDLT,' says one London estate agency chief - 'however in reality I suspect there is more chance of stumbling across a unicorn in Regent’s Park!'

Jeremy Hunt will outline the government's latest round of tax policies in early March, ahead of a probable General Election later in the year.
