Cash maybe king. But as a day to day transaction facility it's on life support.

Self employed tradesmen now need to have cardpay facilities, and many apps as well as Paypal are used.

Cash in hand is a thing of the past.

All the usual sites said "no increases for alcohol" but those taxes are indexed so happen anyway, they don't need to be announced in the budget.
Cigarettes should be £10 for 20, hell no make it £20 , a £1 a cig.

And will this impact her?

Does she earn more than £16,000 a year? ( I think that's the correct figure) if not this won't impact her, she may even be better off.

As ever there's loads detail,behind the headlines
