Budget Breakfast in association with Chiene + Tait

Thursday 25 March 2010 | 8.00am - 10.00am

Description

Pre Election Budgets usually represent an opportunity for the incumbent Chancellor to cosy up to the electorate with a few fiscal sweeteners and tax breaks. This Budget’s different. With UK debt running at 15% of GDP and climbing - Alastair Darling MP can’t afford to play fast and loose with the economy. This Budget, then will seek the strike the balance between maintaining the UK’s fragile recovery from recession and controlling the soaring deficit. This promises to be a fascinating insight into the politics and economics of recession and recovery. Join us to hear a succinct assessment of the Budget from Bill Jamieson, Executive Editor at The Scotsman Publications and David Collier, Tax Consultancy Partner from Chiene + Tait CA.
