According to our keynote speaker @jamesmurray_ldn increasing the no of affordable homes is not an optional extra. Asks of gov: greater control of #SocialHousing budgets, flexibility on #righttobuy receipts for councils, capacity to intervene in the land market #HomesForTheFuture

Don’t wait for the politicians to reach an agreement. By the time this political deadlock breaks, it will be too late to make contingency plans for 29 March https://t.co/3ul1kGJRZd

If you haven’t had a chance to catch up on the Budget, read our full update and experts’ commentary here. Key announcements include a 2% digital services tax (DST), additional capital allowances and the extension of IR35 changes to the private sector https://t.co/6kS9OJUN4T

Shock - enhanced capital allowances on energy / water saving kit and equipment to be abolished from April 2020. Question how this fits with the green agenda. Had suggested kitemark to the OTS to make it easier to identify and remove complexity. #capitalallowances #Budget2018

[Sarah Gatehouse @gatehouse_sarah]

Wow - New structures and buildings allowance (SBA) - new 2% capital allowance for non-residential structures #capitallowances #Budget2018

[Kersten Muller @kj1muller]

Personal allowances going up to £12,500 and higher rate threshold from April 2019 - a year early. #Budget2018 @GrantThorntonUK

[Sarah Gatehouse @gatehouse_sarah]

Annual Investment Allowances increases to £1m for 2 yrs, targeted tax relief for IP rich businesses and tax relief on non-resi structures funded by reducing writing down allowances on long life assets to 6% #Budget2018 #capitalallowances #AIA

Slightly scathing reference to the conclusions in the independent housing review that large housebuilders are not “landbanking”. Fully support the need to invest in SME house builders, but interesting perspective on an independent report #housebuilding #Budget2018

[Sarah Gatehouse @gatehouse_sarah]

Great news for independent retailers - one third reduction in business rates, giving an annual saving of £8k p.a. #retail #highstreet #businessrates #Budget2018

[Sarah Gatehouse @gatehouse_sarah]

Digital Services Tax of 2% to be introduced in 2020 - good news is only for large firms with turnover over £500m and 1% less than expected. Another welcome recognition of the challenges for smaller businesses #DST #Budget2018

[Sarah Gatehouse @gatehouse_sarah]

IR35 changes to be delayed until 2020 and only to be applied to large and medium sized businesses. Cheer in the room here, giving businesses more time to comply and relieving the burden of more admin and costs for smaller businesses #Budget2018 #IR35

[Sarah Gatehouse @gatehouse_sarah]

Great news for mental health - 10yr plan includes more provisions for mental health including 24h hotline #mentalhealth #Budget2018

Thoroughly enjoyed this reimagining of Sondheim’s “Company”, sex-switching Bobby for Bobbie; all hail the creation of another beautifully complex and relatable female role. https://t.co/kGF6P03gtb

Theresa May announces foreign buyers will pay additional SDLT on homes, signalling a strong domestic agenda ahead of Brexit when EU protections for freedom of movement of people and capital fall away. https://t.co/yYmgbJfTHd

@CAs_tax_relief Gorgeous - great pictures. Enjoy! 🙏
