Spring Budget 2017
​

The main points of the Spring Budget 2017 delivered earlier today are:
​

• Adult social care will get an additional funding of £2bn over the next three years

• National insurance for self-employed will increase 1% from April next year

• NHS to get £425m investment in the next three years

• A £1k discount on business rates for around 90% of pubs in the country

• Businesses facing increases in business rates to get a £300m fund

• A reduction in the tax-free dividend from £5k to £2k

There was no change to SDLT (Stamp Duty Land Tax) and new buy-to-let taxes despite numerous industry calls for the rethink of the both.
