Save the day!
Mr Osborne will deliver his Autumn Statement on 29 November. He seems to be moving away from Gordon Brown’s ‘pre-Budget report’ which included advance notice of tax changes coming the following March, but there will probably still be some tax information in with the gloom on finance and spending. He’ll probably close down some tax saving schemes, and HMRC will release quite a lot of next year’s rates and allowances. Don’t expect any giveaways this year (or next, or the one after that...).
