With Rachel Reeves’ first full Autumn Budget scheduled for 26 November 2025, the business community is bracing for what could be one of the most consequential fiscal announcements in recent years.

The Chancellor has already made it clear that the UK’s public finances face pressure — and that “everyone will have to contribute” to restore stability. Against that backdrop, speculation is mounting over potential tax changes designed to raise revenue and reshape the economy in line with her “securonomics” agenda.

Here’s what accountants, business owners, and directors are watching most closely ahead of Budget Day.

As the year starts to wind down, November is the perfect time to pause, review, and prepare your business for the months ahead.
