Upcoming: The Autumn Budget 2026: what HR and payroll need to know

 

About this webinar

Chancellor John Healey will deliver the 2026 Autumn Budget on 28 October. One week later, on 4 November, join our experts as we unpack what was announced – and what it means for HR and payroll teams in practice.

Ahead of Budget Day, the direction of travel is becoming clearer. The government has ruled out rises to income tax, VAT and employee National Insurance rates – but that commitment doesn’t extend to thresholds, allowances, reliefs or employer NICs, all of which remain in play. Changes in any of these areas could have real implications for payroll costs and take-home pay.

We'll cover:

  • The key announcements from the 2026 Autumn Budget and their implications for HR and payroll

  • How any changes affect pay, pensions and employee benefits

  • What HR and payroll teams should prioritise in response – and by when

  • Key dates and actions to stay compliant going into 2027

This session takes place one week after Budget Day, so you'll get analysis of what was actually confirmed – not predictions. Practical, focused and tailored to HR and payroll professionals.
