Poll: Was George Osborne's Budget good for you?
He hailed it as a Budget for "the makers, the doers, and the savers", but was George Osborne's Budget good for you? Have your say in our online poll.
The Chancellor unveiled radical reforms to tax rules on retirement pots and new-style flexibile ISAs where people can save up to £15,000 without the Treasury taking a cut, and he pushed up the personal income tax allowance to £10,500 next year.
Hailing the success of the coalition's austerity programme, Mr Osborne said UK plc would grow by a better than forecast 2.7% in 2014 and the government would be back in surplus by 2018-19.
Mr Osborne offered some crowd-pleasing items including scrapping the duty escalator on wine and spirits, a penny off a pint of beer, and freezing the "carbon floor" price in a bid to take £15 off consumers' energy bills.
