Budget representations
HM Treasury is inviting representations from stakeholders ahead of the 2024 Spring Budget.
Comments or suggestions by interest groups, individuals and representative bodies on existing or new policies are welcomed, to inform policy development for the Budget.
Representations should contain policy suggestions for the upcoming fiscal event and explain the policy rationale, costs, benefits and deliverability of proposals. Comments should be evidence-based, providing clear arguments on how they contribute to the aims of the statement.
The Treasury suggests the following points for consideration:

- Revenue implications for the Exchequer.
- How it supports growth.
- Wider macroeconomic implications (for example, for economic stability and supporting employment).
- Sectoral impacts.
- Distributional impacts.
- Locational impacts.
- Administrative and compliance costs and issues.
- Legislative and operational requirements.
