Today’s #Budget was an opportunity to tackle tax reform head-on rather than yet more rate tinkering. Some of the Chancellor’s announcements are a small step in that direction. But they are less a ‘smorgasbord’, more a series of nibbles. 🧵

The chancellor is expected to use her budget to change the rules on limited liability partnerships. This follows research by @centaxuk.bsky.social showing that almost half of partnership income goes to those in the top 0.1 per cent. Read more in @thetimes.com ⬇️ www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
