Anyone following well...with interest?
Thought it might be a good idea to set up a thread for forum members to let us know what's going on...cos I'm for one sh*t at following this stuff. Just the highlights of the budget would be great with a little detail... Could spark off a couple of good discussions...... |

If I keep writing enough hagiographic articles on Man Utd, they might give me a job

Trying to get people to buy in 2012 as they scrap mortgage interest relief after 2012.
25 per cent for buyers in 2012 30 per cent for 2004 to 2008 and 15 per cent for anybody before that. Scrapped for any purchases after 2012. |

So if your saving for a house. You've now got 12 months to get it sorted. Good idea but puts pressure on people to save more and save quicker.
No changes to income taxes. Universal social charge to drop but only if your part time, seasonal or a farmer |

No change to income tax either in bands or credits.
Exemption to USC is being raised from 4000 t0 10000. This is aimed at the hospitality sector and part time work in that. |

the idea is to get people to buy houses in 2012. The idea is that there is people out there who are ready to buy but, are holding off to see a bottom in the market. Not sure how much this will work but thats the idea behind it.

Carbon tax on heating fuels held back until may.
no increase in tax on the bag of blocks, or the sod of turf or the bail of brickets. |
