The Chancellor of the Exchequer delivered the United Kingdom (“UK”) Budget for 2020 on 11 March 2020. The Budget was delivered against a backdrop that very few people could have anticipated at the commencement of the year.  The Government’s long term focus of re-orienting the UK away from the European Union, as a result of Brexit, is now overshadowed by the global pandemic of Covid-19.  Despite this dramatic political environment, the measures in the Budget relating to taxation are, by contrast, almost reassuringly down-to-earth.  Those measures deliver a consistent message of the UK being a top-tier jurisdiction in which investment can be made efficiently, alongside a careful eye being kept on the competitiveness of the UK’s tax policy environment.  https://www.cadwalader.com/resources/clients-friends-memos/uk-budget-2020---key-tax-measures
