The Autumn Budget 2026 takes place on Wednesday 28 October 2026. Rates of income tax, employee National Insurance and VAT won’t rise, but creatives should watch for changes to capital gains tax, self-employed National Insurance, the VAT registration threshold and Small Business Rates Relief. Several changes are already fixed, including Making Tax Digital for Income Tax at £30,000 from April 2027 and frozen thresholds until 2031.
