Bloomberg Talks · UK’s Rachel Reeves Talks UK Fiscal Budget · 17 Oct 2025 podcast

In the budget last year, I did increase taxes on some of the wealthiest, and we also increased taxes on business.

I'm very mindful, again, to get the balance right.

We want to attract talent to the U.K.

and keep talent in the U.K.

I also want to make it easier for businesses to grow and stay in Britain.

So, I'll set out the individual taxes on November the 26th, but I want this to be a pro-growth budget.

that maintains Britain as a great place to start and grow a business and to bring in investment and obviously over the last few months we've secured huge amounts of foreign direct investment including from the United States with those big technology companies investing in Britain.

We made some further changes to the tax arrangements for non-domiciled people earlier this year, which I think have been welcomed.

We will continue to monitor the response to any tax, but I would also say there are many people choosing to make Britain their home.

We have just doubled the number of visas available for

for high net worth individuals, for entrepreneurs and for academics in some of the growth sectors to build teams in the UK.

And we've no doubt that people will apply for those visas and we will fill those places.

So the UK remains an attractive place in part because we are securing

investment from the world.

We're reforming our capital markets to make it easier for businesses to raise finance in London and we're reforming our regulatory and planning systems to make it easier to get things done in the UK.

Well, it is important to make sure that all budgets, including the welfare budget, are well managed.

And we do need to see reform of our welfare system.

And we'll continue to make the case with that reform.

We've already brought in some changes to

something called the Universal Credit System to reduce the incentives to get the health-related element of that.
