2017 Budget Spoilers?

Options
The clock is ticking and Mr Hammond will take to the stage on Wednesday 8th March.

So excluding anyone who actually knows what is to come (as revealing that would be illegal!) - there are two questions to answer.

  1. What will the chancellor announce?
  2. What would you announce if you could?
I am just thinking out loud - nothing I say should be relied upon!
I do however reserve the right to be correct by accident.

    Very little, I suggest. The information that might be of interest to this board will be buried in the budget documents - maybe the various tweaks that have to be legislated for in preparation for MTD.

    Nothing targeting the self-employed then?

    I've read speculation that they might try to level the playing field so that choosing to be employed, self-employed or to incorporate would be tax-neutral. That could be a happy hunting ground for accountants :)
