Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, delivered her second Autumn Budget on Wednesday 26 November 2025, alongside updated forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility. The statement set out the government’s latest plans for tax, spending and borrowing at a time of ongoing pressure on public finances.
 

Against a challenging fiscal backdrop, the Chancellor looked to balance stability with targeted support. Rather than sweeping reforms, this Budget focused on a series of narrower measures designed to raise revenue gradually while signalling caution on large scale tax cuts.
 

Key announcements included changes affecting personal tax and allowances, savings and pensions, salary sacrifice arrangements, and support for businesses and investment. Taken together, these measures could influence how individuals and business owners structure their finances over the coming years.
