Flash Post-Budget Analysis
Explore key announcements of the Budget, the political implications, and any immediate actions the BRC has taken.
Join us on Thursday 29th October, the morning after the Budget, where we will be joined by BRC Lead Economist Harvir Dhillon to run over key announcements, the political implications and any immediate actions the BRC has taken including our press response.
A reminder of our key asks:
- Boost youth employment opportunities by increasing the secondary NICs threshold from £5,000 to £6,000
- Reduce retailers' energy bills by addressing non commodity costs
- No shop to pay more in business rates by freezing the CPI uplift to the multiplier, removing shops from the high value multiplier and avoiding introducing a new warehouse surtax
- No new additional taxes on the industry
