On 28 October 2026, John Healey delivered his first Autumn Budget as Chancellor, setting out the Government’s plans for tax, spending and public finances. Our teams gathered key contacts, intermediaries and clients for a drinks reception on the evening of 28 October to discuss the changes.
Head of Business Tax, Alastair McQuater, kicked off the evening with an overview of the key announcements, before the conversation continued over drinks and canapés. From Founders’ Relief and HMRC’s new collection powers to investment incentives and support for first-time buyers, our experts and guests explored what the measures could mean in practice.
We’ll be sharing more from those conversations on our Autumn Budget hub.
