Autumn Statement 2013 – The Knee Jerk

Quick reaction before I have had chance to go through all the documents released today is that there ain’t a lot there.

A tad disappointing when we really need to get businesses investing, George Osborne has given us an ‘as you were’ ‘pre-budget report’ with no new announcements that are going to have any meaningful effect on our economy.

As we will see over the next few days, the tinkering with business reliefs and incentives don’t kick in until 2015, anyway.
