This episode of The Business is sponsored by PwC.


All eyes are on Chancellor Rachel Reeves as she prepares her autumn Budget. There have been hints at manifesto-breaking tax increases as she warns that everyone will have to do their “bit for the security of our country and the brightness of its future.” But what could all that mean in practice for business? 


Barret Kupelian, UK Chief Economist at PwC and Claire Blackburn, PwC UK Head of Tax, join Dom and Hannah on this bonus episode to consider the choices the Chancellor is facing, what measures she might announce - and what they may indicate for Britain’s economic trajectory.    


Guests:

  • Barret Kupelian, UK Chief Economist at PwC
  • Claire Blackburn, PwC UK Head of Tax


Hosts:

  • Hannah Prevett, Associate Business Editor, The Sunday Times
  • Dominic O’Connell, columnist, The Times & business reporter, Times Radio
