A date has been announced for the 2016 Autumn Statement!
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, will deliver his first Autumn Statement to Parliament on Wednesday 23rd November 2016 at 12.30pm.
The Autumn Statement is an important annual event, on par with the Budget, as it sets out the government’s taxation and spending plans.
It will also be the first opportunity to assess the state of the UK economy following the EU referendum in June.

Announcing the date for the Autumn Statement, Hammond said:
“The Autumn Statement will set out the government’s economic and fiscal plans based on the latest forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility.
“In the run-up to the Autumn Statement I will be engaging with Britain’s business leaders and employee representatives through a series of industry round tables, meetings and visits.”
It will be interesting to see what surprises Philip Hammond has in store during his first Autumn Statement on 23rd November.
