BUSINESSES are braced for the Autumn Budget when the Chancellor of the Exchequer will set out the Government’s plans for taxation, benefits, spending and forecasts for the economy.
The Herald will once again put the budget in the spotlight when it comes in late October or early November and host the annual budget briefing breakfast supported by Brown Shipley, Campbell Dallas and Wright Johnston & McKenzie LLP the
morning after the chancellor’s announcement.
The event will allow for readers and business leaders to discuss and question the implications for the UK economy for the year ahead.
Against a testing economic background, the challenge is to continue to raise revenue and provide a tax environment in which businesses can flourish.
Delegates will hear from panel members Liz Cameron, CEO & Director, Scottish Chambers and Fraser Campbell, Partner, Campbell Dallas.
Mr Campbell said: “We are delighted once again to support The Herald’s Budget Briefing Breakfast.
"The Budget Briefing is a key event in the diary for business leaders to discuss the impact of the Budget for the year ahead.
"We look forward to sharing insight and advice with local businesses at the breakfast.”
Joining Mr Campbell and Ms Cameron is Grant Johnston, Partner and Head of Wealth Planning, Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP, who said: “The only thing certain about 2019/20 is that we will all experience changes which will affect our business and personal finances.
"We now have a new Prime Minister and possibly Brexit with or without a deal.
"The 2019 Budget will be the first main opportunity the Government will have to set out their view of the future path for the country.”
Other panel members include Roger Clark, Head of Wealth Management, Brown Shipley, and economist Jeremy Peat.
The event will take place in Glasgow from 8am and 10.30am with the date being announced as soon as the budget date has been set.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
