Ahead of Wednesday's Spring Budget, Cities of London & Westminster MP, Nickie Aiken, caught up with Nigel Huddleston MP, Financial Secretary to the Treasury.
Nickie took the opportunity to raise a number of our local priorities, including our campaign to return tax-free shopping, the VAT rate for hairdressing and beauty sectors, and an unintended consequence of inheritance tax which, in the case of a deceased estate, results in tax paid based on an estimation rather than value.
Nickie also made the case to tighten up any tax loopholes which AirBnB landlords take advantage of, and has made the argument directly to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt MP.
The Chancellor will outline his Spring Budget on Wednesday, expected at around 12:45. Watch live here.
