Email The Chancellor of the Exchequer delivered the UK Budget for 2017 on 22 November 2017. Delivered against the backdrop of the UK’s ongoing negotiations to exit from the European Union, the Budget featured a significant downgrading of UK economic growth forecasts alongside a more encouraging reduction of public borrowing to less than 2 per cent of national income by 2020-2021. In this challenging economic situation, the Chancellor’s Budget navigated a careful passage in tax policy terms. While there were some eye-catching proposals, including the abolition of stamp duty on real estate purchases of up to £300,000 for first-time buyers, the Government’s overall message in the Budget to the UK’s corporate and financial sectors was one of continuity rather than radical change. https://www.cadwalader.com/resources/clients-friends-memos/uk-budget-2017-key-tax-measures
