Ep.27 The Budget Explained: Tax Changes, Delays and Hidden Consequences

In this episode of Juggling Mind and Money, Steve is joined by Chartered Financial Planner Luke James for a clear and grounded conversation about the recently released Budget. With Jess away, Luke steps in to help unpack the announcements that matter most to listeners and clients.

They cut through the pre-Budget rumours, explore the psychology behind fear-driven financial decisions and discuss the major changes around salary sacrifice, dividend tax, ISAs, VCTs, property income and the newly introduced mansion tax.

They also highlight what didn’t change, why many measures are delayed and the practical steps listeners can take while current allowances remain in place.
