This episode of The Business is sponsored by PwC.

All eyes are on Chancellor Rachel Reeves as she prepares her autumn Budget. There have been hints at manifesto-breaking tax increases as she warns that everyone will have to do their “bit for the security of our country and the brightness of its future.” But what could all that mean in practice for business?

• Claire Blackburn, PwC UK Head of Tax
