The announcement presented a new perspective on the UK\u2019s green economy and the climate crisis. New proposals were also announced that will affect businesses of all sizes, across all industry sectors.<\/p><p>The Chancellor is using this updated autumn Budget to create an economy \u2018fit for a new age of optimism\u2019. Including new proposals surrounding boosts in wages, investing in skills and increasing overall productivity as the UK progresses into a greener future, and recovers from the Coronavirus pandemic.<\/p><p>So, let\u2019s take a look at some of the main points addressed in this Budget announcement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8d5993 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d8d5993\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Business rates <\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0960e35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0960e35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Chancellor announced that there will be a temporary 50% cut to business rates, up to a maximum of \u00a3110,000. In addition, the planned annual increase in rates for all firms in 2022 has now been cancelled, for the second year in a row.<\/p><p>Business rates are charges on commercial premises. These rates are based on the value of the property, which are divided into bands set by central government. They are devolved across the UK nations. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland could mirror the changes in England. Or, alternatively, they may keep their current business rates and spend the money in other ways.

And while many people expected it to increase, the price has remained the same.<\/p><p>This decision was made after recent fuel prices hit an all-time high. To keep the cost of living low and help businesses to get back on their feet, the Chancellor explained that he is not \u2018prepared to add the squeeze on families and small businesses\u2019.<\/p><p>This also comes as a big relief for UK motorists, who have had to deal with shortages during the recent fuel crisis. Allowing fuel to stay at the same price while the supply recovers means that families and businesses can avoid yet another strain on their finances.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16ae821 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"16ae821\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Boost in wages<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-919b958 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"919b958\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The government plans to ease a cut to Universal Credit, by tweaking the taper rate.

This includes funding for innovative, technologically advanced and green assets, which can sometimes find it difficult to attract funding from traditional lenders.<\/p><p>\u00a3817 million will be spent on the electrification of vehicles, along with \u00a3620 million to support the transition to electric vehicles. \u00a33.9 billion will also be spent towards the decarbonisation of buildings.<\/p><p>Funding will also continue for the Start Up Loans Scheme, that provides funding and mentoring to people who want to start their own business.<\/p><p>A \u2018Levelling Up Fund\u2019 will invest \u00a31.7 billion in local areas across the UK, with the Government backing projects in Aberdeen, Bury, Burnley, Lewes, Stoke-on-Trent, Doncaster, West Leeds and other locations. \u00a324 billion has also been set aside for housing, including \u00a311.5 billion for 180,000 affordable homes.<\/p><p>Green investment relief will also be introduced to encourage businesses to adopt green technologies, such as solar panels and heat pumps.<\/p><p>But according to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), government borrowing during the pandemic was at the highest levels since the Second World War, reaching 15.2% of GDP.
