Given the doubts about the health of the public finances, is Gordon Brown in danger of breaking his fiscal rules? Are further tax increases required to pay for the Government's spending commitments?

The IFS Green Budget will assess key questions that the Chancellor has to confront in drawing up his 2004 Budget statement.

These include:

  • Must taxes rise again to avoid breaking the Government's fiscal rules?
  • Would delivering world-class public services require more resources?
  • How could taxes be increased without breaking manifesto commitments?
  • What are the latest developments in the Government's consultation on Corporation Tax reform?
