Quick Poll – the effect of the delayed UK Budget on payroll departments
10 February 2020
The CIPP is running a new Quick Poll on its News Online page, which asks payroll professionals to consider what effect the delayed UK Budget date has had on their payroll department.
The original Budget was scheduled to take place on 6 November 2019 but then a snap general election held on 12 December 2019 postponed this. We are still awaiting the details of the UK Budget, which is due to be held on 11 March 2020. This is considerably later than the dates that Budgets have been delivered on in previous years, and the CIPP is inclined to discover whether this has had a considerable impact on payroll departments up and down the country.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, currently Sajid Javid, will make his Budget statement to the House of Commons, which will outline the state of the economy and cascade the Government’s proposals for amendments to taxation. This is then debated by the House of Commons, who also dissect the Finance Bill which will enact the Chancellor’s proposals.
The CIPP appreciates that payroll professionals are very busy individuals, but if you could spare a moment to answer the Quick Poll, we would really appreciate it, as the more responses we receive, the better insight we can get into the effect (if any) of the delayed budget on payroll departments.
