On 8 July, the Chancellor unveiled the Summer Budget 2015 - a Budget heavily aimed at UK businesses.

With huge announcements made on wages, tax, National Insurance and more, do you know what it all means for businesses?

A Budget for business

Corporation Tax cut

The tax paid by a business on its profits is to be cut yet again to 18% by 2020, the lowest rate of any EU country.

Employment Allowance raised

By increasing the Employment Allowance to £3000, businesses will receive a further £1000 to help towards their National Insurance payments.

Minimum Wage increased

From April 2016, a new National Living Wage of £7.20 an hour for the over 25s will be introduced. This will rise to over £9 an hour by 2020.

Annual Investment Allowance at highest level

The annual investment allowance, which allows businesses to deduct the value of plant and machinery purchases, will be set permanently at £200,000.

Infrastructure investment

Another big winner from the Budget was infrastructure, with particular emphasis placed on improving Britain’s roads.

In addition:

• no rise in fuel duty
• reform to vehicle excise duties to pay for new roads
• £30m to promote integrated transport in north of England
