"Shareholders hit

Director shareholders will see a tax break reduced on the dividends they receive.
The tax-free dividend allowance - which was only introduced last year - will be reduced from £5,000 to £2,000 from April 2018.

That will also affect people with large portfolios of shares.

That's us lot!"

Philip Hammond is planning a Budget raid on older workers to pay for tax breaks for younger people as he battles to save his job. The Chancer of the Exchequer is understood to be examining ways to link tax to age to promote "intergenerational fairness" in next month's Budget. Tax breaks would be offered to workers in their 20s and 30s, paid for by cutting reliefs for older and better off workers.

Cant stop meddling who ever gets hold of that Red Box.

Phillip Hammond is facing almost certain defeat over his budget plan to delay a crackdown on fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs). Amendments designed to force ministers to bring forward a cut in the maximum stake from £100 to £2 have been signed by 21 Conservative MPs, including 12 former ministers, and four Democratic Unionist Party MPs.
