A representation to Autumn Budget 2026 is a written submission from an interest group, individual, Member of Parliament or representative body to HM Treasury with the aim of commenting on government policy and suggesting new policy ideas to be considered in the upcoming Budget. HM Treasury welcomes representations as part of the policy-making process.
If you have a question or comment that is not a representation for the Budget, please contact the Correspondence & Enquiries Unit using this webform.
HM Treasury welcomes comments on existing policy, or suggestions for new policy. In order to inform policy development for the Budget, your representation should contain policy suggestions for the upcoming fiscal event and explain the policy rationale, costs, benefits and deliverability of proposals. It should also be evidence based, providing clear arguments on how it contributes to the aims of the Budget.
You may wish to consider:
- likely effectiveness and value for money
- revenue implications for the Exchequer
- how it supports growth
- wider macroeconomic implications (for example, for economic stability, and supporting employment)
- sectoral impacts
- distributional impacts
- locational impacts
- administrative and compliance costs and issues
- legislative and operational requirements
- environmental impact
HM Treasury will accept representations until 23:59 on Wednesday 9 September.
This deadline allows time for representations to be processed and considered as part of the Budget process. It will not be possible for HM Treasury to consider submissions received after this deadline.
Throughout the survey, you will be asked to select the sectors and policy areas relevant to your submission. Please take care when choosing these options, as selecting the most appropriate categories will help ensure your submission is directed to the correct teams for consideration. In the event that no options are relevant, please select 'Other'.
