Spring Statement 2026
A Breakdown of The Government's Spring Statement
The Chancellor held the Spring Statement on 3 March 2026. The government has been keen to have only one tax event per year (the Budget) and so the Spring Statement was intended to provide an interim update on the economy and public finances.
Whilst the Chancellor did meet the commitment not to make major tax announcements, there was plenty to say on the economy more generally.
