What should UK manufacturers be looking out for in tomorrow's budget? With the UK government’s Autumn Budget just around the corner, manufacturers across the country are eagerly waiting to see how upcoming policies could shape the future. Here’s a quick overview of what manufacturers should pay close attention to in tomorrow’s announcement: 1️⃣ Energy Costs & Sustainability Incentives With energy prices still volatile, manufacturers are hoping for measures to ease energy costs or incentivize a shift towards greener energy solutions. Support for energy efficiency investments and clear policies around sustainability goals could be a game-changer. 2️⃣ Capital Investment & R&D Tax Relief Investment in innovation is essential for growth, especially amidst global competition. Potential adjustments to R&D tax credits, as well as incentives for capital investments, could encourage manufacturers to pursue cutting-edge advancements and future-proof operations. 3️⃣ Skills Development & Workforce Support As skills shortages continue to challenge the industry, many are hoping for investment in skills programs, apprenticeships, and retraining initiatives. Easing the pathway for talent development would be a welcome step towards strengthening the UK manufacturing workforce. 4️⃣ Business Rates Reform Reforms to business rates have been long awaited, especially with the increase in costs post-pandemic. Any relief in this area could provide essential support to manufacturing businesses striving to maintain profitability and competitiveness. 5️⃣ Export Support & Trade Policies With shifting trade relations, manufacturers will be on the lookout for initiatives that support exports and simplify international trade processes. Assistance in this area could open up new markets and ease the challenges of exporting in a post-Brexit landscape. This budget has the potential to steer the UK manufacturing sector through a transformative period. Let’s hope it delivers the support needed for growth, resilience, and innovation in the face of evolving challenges. #Budget2024 #UKManufacturing #UKEconomy #Innovation #Sustainability #Skills #Manufacturing
