To print this article, all you need is to be registered or login on Mondaq.com.
The Chancellor re-affirmed the Government's fiscal policy,
with the intent of eliminating the structural deficit by 2014. The
borrowing figure for 2011-12 is slightly better than originally
forecast – at £126 billion – but the
fiscal framework means that the Budget measures are broadly
neutral, with tax cuts balanced by tax rises.
The key message for business is that the Government is focussed
on creating the best tax regime in the G20. It wants to encourage
more business in the UK and the latest instalment is a further 1%
cut in corporation tax from 1 April 2012, moving down to 22% from
2014. The Controlled Foreign Company and Patent Box regimes will
start in 2013, as planned, and there will be consultation in the
summer on the 'above the line' R&D tax credit regime,
with repayable credits for loss-makers.
