The Tax Factor: Autumn Budget 2026 Special from Blick Rothenberg

Blick Rothenberg’s tax leaders give their first reactions to the UK Autumn Budget 2026. They cover savings and property taxes, Founders’ Relief, HMRC compliance and the future of the FIG regime.

In a special episode of The Tax Factor podcast, BABC Texas member Blick Rothenberg gives its first take on Chancellor John Healey’s Autumn Budget 2026, delivered on 28 October.

CEO Nimesh Shah is joined by Head of Tax Sean Drury and Head of Private Client John Bull. Together they go through the main announcements and what they could mean for individuals, investors and businesses with ties to the UK.

Higher taxes for savers and property investors
The panel looks at the planned increase in tax rates on savings income and rental profits, and at what this could mean for landlords and savers. They also discuss the decision to keep the £20,000 annual Cash ISA allowance.

Founders’ Relief, business rates and employee incentives
Nimesh, Sean and John examine the new Founders’ Relief proposals and the changes to employee share schemes and business rates. They ask whether the Budget gives real support to entrepreneurs and growing businesses.

HMRC, pensioners and the bigger tax picture
The discussion moves on to:

• changes to pensioners’ tax allowances
• a possible move to more frequent tax payments
• HMRC’s growing compliance activity

The team also considers the future of the Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime, which matters to anyone moving between the UK and the US. They finish with the taxes that could have changed but didn’t, and what they hope to see in next year’s Budget.
