Green Budget
Green Budget 2018 | Read the report here
When a government plans to pass a law, it often publishes a green paper. This is an opportunity to share its thinking and provoke discussion.
The Finance Bill is a law Parliament passes to renew taxes, propose new taxes, and maintain the administration of the tax system. It enacts proposals announced in the Budget, which the Chancellor writes in secret. There’s no green paper. This means important decisions about taxes, spending and public policy are made without consultation.
Watch IFS experts and colleagues from Citi and ICAEW present the findings of the IFS Green Budget 2018.
