As you will be aware, the Chancellor recently delivered his Autumn Statement on my website you'll find a summary of the main points for your information. After weeks of speculation about what may or may not be announced - abolition of inheritance tax; increase in the inheritance nil rate band; a stamp duty land tax holiday; a cut in the rate of income tax; an increase in the Vat registration threshold for small businesses; reversing the previous increases in rates of corporation tax etc etc it subsequently transpired that all in all, the whole fiscal event was a pretty dull affair. Cynics have suggested that any earth-shattering announcements will be pulled out of the hat just before the General Election!
