In this special Budget edition of No Accounting for Taste, the AccountingWEB editorial team analyses the highs and lows from a Budget dominated by the coronavirus pandemic.

Host Richard Hattersley is joined by seasoned Budget watcher John Stokdyk, who beams in from his Brighton HQ, and a sleep-deprived Ray Newman from PracticeWeb, who was up until 2am in the morning examining the finer Budget details.

The pod team first considers how Sunak’s performance at the dispatch box compares to his predecessors.  Then they turn their attention to the Budget 15 months in the making.

The emergence of the coronavirus forced Sunak to rip up his Budget script and improvise, but there were plenty of tax policies for the team to dissect. 

The biggest surprise was that entrepreneurs’ relief survived what was thought to be certain death – albeit with a significant cap. The team also compare their Budget notes and talk about the kite flying policies that didn’t make Sunak’s speech.
