Rachel Reeves’ budget is a clear change of direction from that of the previous government. While Covid necessitated a surge in government spending, the Conservatives’ instincts of the last 14 years have been for lower taxes, lower spending and a smaller state. Labour’s first budget has, in contrast, been about higher taxes, more borrowing and greater public spending. In this latest market update we discuss the economic and market reactions to the budget, as well as the upcoming US election... https://lnkd.in/eyF923PT Justin Rourke Richard Cole, CFA #financialplanning #budget #investment

Steve Williams, Partner, gives his view on yesterday's budget from a Not-For-Profit perspective. #budget #notforprofit #charity
No budget cheer for the Not-For-Profit sector: The impact of yesterday’s budget on the Charity and Education sectors was mixed at best. While there were announcements of public sector funding increases in specific areas, such as social care, children’s services, and SEND, these increases are broad and won’t be available to ‘bank’ for many in the third sector just yet. The bad news from the budget is more real and imminent - for larger charities and schools in particular. These organisations will have to find room in their budgets for the National Insurance increases announced for April 2025, on top of the greater-than-expected minimum wage increases revealed on Tuesday. And for Private Schools, there are the well-publicised VAT issues on fees to contend with as well. For charities funded by local authorities, there is a potential double whammy. While local councils will receive an increased funding allocation from central government and specific other pockets of funding, they will also have to absorb the additional employment costs announced yesterday. The extent of this impact remains to be quantified, but those additional employment costs could significantly diminish the benefit of the funding increases announced, thereby maintaining the current funding pressure that local authorities are facing when awarding contracts to charities for vital services. Armstrong Watson, Simon Turner, Karen Rae, David Richardson, Hydeam Sulton, Diana Carolina Hernandez Sippel, Lauren Graham, Huw Nicholls FCCA.

An increase in public spending on vital services such as education and the National Health Service is certainly promising, but this afternoon's Budget poses questions over whether it will deliver and concerns around how the additional spending is to be funded. In our Autumn Budget edition of Inspired, we cover the detail behind the Chancellor's announcements and provide our initial views on the implications for businesses and individuals: https://lnkd.in/eK6sXVg8 #budget #autumnbudget #business Becky Bowness Karen Thomson ChFCIPP MSc FHEA Dip Graham Poles James Fraser Becky Fraser Brian Rudkin Justin Rourke Matt Hutton
