"One of the thorniest questions facing the coalition before this Budget has been whether to raise VAT," says the BBC's Nick Robinson. Will they or won't they, he asks. www.bbc.co.uk

Good afternoon, All. Like many investors and small business owners out there, we're watching with some trepidation to see what happens to CGT. Is it really going to go straight to 40%? What will the "ifs" and the "buts" be? What will be the definition of "business assets"?

Rumour has it that after the budget we will only be able to tweet up to 100 characters. #budgetcuts #junebudget

You and me too Ed ;-) I've been building my business for over 10 years now, so hopefully there will be some taper to encourage longer term investment!

This is the first time I've been seriously concerned about a budget - but cant believe that a Tory budget will seriously attack enterprise - will it?

by freshnick 6/22/2010 11:22:21 AM
@freshnick Let's hope not but it's such a difficult line that the Chancellor has to tack - radical measures to tackle the deficit without being seen to undermine economic confidence. He's been tangled in a Gordian knot - or Gordonian actually! I don't envy him one bit.

#junebudget: Sun apparently reporting that CGT will only go up to 28%

12.30 fixes on GBPUSD and GBPEUR are 1.4718 and 1.1995 and 10 year gilt yield sitting at 3.449% #junebudget

by World_First 6/22/2010 11:30:53 AM
Even raising CGT to 28% will have a negative effect on investment - and will be counterproductive in the sense that it won't raise much, if any, extra revenue.

Will be interesting to see how the OBR adjusts its forecasts to take into account the budget proposed. There has been much talk of short term pain, and the potential impact of reducing immigration on UK growth. Will this support or damage the chancellor?

Surplus countries should do more to support global demand, Osborne says

Structural current deficit should be in balance by 2015 to 2016

by Julie Mollins 6/22/2010 11:40:28 AM
Surplus countries definitely need to support demand. Problem is that there aren't many of them. Most countries (particularly in Europe) are now trying to rein in spending and become surplus counties, so the problem is, who is left spending? Who soaks up the production of goods and services with their demand?
