Foreword by Thomas Adcock, Tax Partner

It feels like we waited a long time for this one – a very long time. When it arrived, a little bit earlier than scheduled following someone pressing the wrong button at the OBR – what did it include?

At first glance the measures were not nearly as bad as first feared, and some of the more egregious measures that were flown as kites ahead of the official announcements did not make the grade.

However, there are still many changes which will hurt workers, savers and investors and even a rise in alcohol duty. So no, there was nothing much to cheer about in this Budget.

Autumn Budget 2025 FAQ

When is the Budget scheduled to be delivered?

The Chancellor Rachel Reeves will deliver the Budget in the House of Commons on Wednesday 26th November 2025.

What is the purpose of the Autumn Budget?

The Autumn Budget sets out the government’s plans for tax, spending and the wider economic strategy for the year ahead. It gives Parliament and the public an overview of the government’s priorities and how it intends to fund them.

How is the Autumn Budget put together and who is involved in the process?

The Budget is prepared by the Chancellor and HM Treasury, drawing on analysis from government departments and the Office for Budget Responsibility. Draft proposals go through internal review before being finalised for Parliament.

What happens after the Chancellor delivers the Autumn Budget?

Once the Budget is delivered, HM Treasury releases detailed documents and costings. The Office for Budget Responsibility publishes its forecasts, and Parliament begins reviewing the proposals through the usual legislative process.

How does the Autumn Budget relate to the government’s overall economic plan?

The Autumn Budget sits alongside other fiscal events and policy statements as part of the government’s wider economic plan. It brings together decisions on tax and public spending for the coming years and sets out how the government intends to fund its priorities within the fiscal rules it has adopted.

What documents should I read if I want the full detail behind the Autumn Budget?

Alongside the Chancellor’s speech, HM Treasury publishes a set of core documents, including the main Budget report, detailed policy costings and supporting notes. The Office for Budget Responsibility also publishes its Economic and Fiscal Outlook. Together, these provide the technical detail behind the headlines and are the primary sources used by advisers and commentators.
