Spring Forecast scheduled for 26 March 2025
Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, has confirmed 26 March 2025 as the date for the Spring Forecast.
The Office for Budget Responsibility is required to produce two forecasts each financial year by the Budget Responsibility and National Audit Act 2011.
The Chancellor will accompany the forecast with a speech to Parliament. However, since she is committed to the stability that having only one major fiscal event a year brings, it seems that her speech is unlikely to include any major tax changes.
We will keep you posted on any developments related to the Spring Forecast. If you have any concerns or questions about how the Autumn Budget will affect your tax position for the 2025/26 tax year, please contact us at any time. We will be happy to help you!

Many business owners we work with feel caught up in the day-to-day drudge. They’re handling customer queries, fixing problems, chasing invoices - and wondering how they’ll ever find the time to step back and think about where the business is heading.
HM Revenue and Customs have reported that 170,000 scam referrals were made to them in the year to July 2025. Encouragingly, this is a 12% reduction on the previous year, however HMRC are warning taxpayers to take care.
