Maybe I'm being dozy but I don't think this budget will hurt me (more) at all.
I get a lot of cgt to pay, but the rate for that hasn't changed.
I did have rented properties, which would have been getting me less after tax (later). The last to go is an HMO with nicer than average accom so getting very over-the-top rent. The council have been for an inspection and seem keen to buy it. I imagine they'll put families in where there's now a professional single or a couple.
They like the laundry room - no mould. Until the new occupiers start drying their clothes in the rooms.
It seems nuts to me that the cgt rate is so low on gains on funds and shares, why less than income tax?
If they do it to encourage investment in industry that's a fail - I pretty much only use foreign companies. There's a tax/stamp duty on UK shares
.
The budget had pandering to silliness, like the changes to Motability. Recover the benefit for better than basic cars, ie charge more for them.
The "no extra payment" cars are not the posh ones. Simple. No never got a free Audi, by the way.
Payments for all kids should be in clothes/baby food vouchers to be used with ID, etc as much as possible, so the kids get the benefit not the sh*tty parents who produce extra kids to get benefits.
The >2 kid de-capping will encourage the lowest quality people to produce more low quality kids. You should get no extra benefits unless you have at least 2 A levels, taken in a UK school - we have enough proles!
