CHANCELLOR GEORGE OSBORNE is calling on the British public for ideas on how to kick-start economic growth with the launch of an online Budget ideas portal.
The portal will allow members of the public, interest groups and representative bodies to send their suggestions of what they would like to see in next month's Budget directly to Treasury officials.
"I want to hear about your brightest and best ideas, because next month's Budget will be all about growth," said Osborne. "In particular, I want to know what businesses, large and small, want from me, because it's British businesses... that will lead our recovery."
The move comes after a similar system was set up for the comprehensive spending review last year, with one suggestion resulting in the scrapping of National Insurance cards, saving £1m a year.
The Budget takes place on 23 March.

Bankers bonus
Disallow the bonus for CT purposes.
Possibly add a penal rate of ?10% to the CT charge for the bonus added back.
Restrict switches to higher basic remuneration to the average of the last 3 years plus inflation.
This will enable the tax payer to recover some of the investment made in supporting the banks in their hour of need and the more obscene the bonus, the more the taxpayer is rewarded. Simples!

Finance for job Creation
To raise finance for serious job creation, could we consider increasing VAT on mobile phone calls, and texts, to 40%?

Increase NIC for Big 4 Accountants and Magic Circle Lawyers
Why not increase National Insurance on LLPs such as PwC,Deloitte,KPMG and Ernst & Young to equivalent to FTSE Directors
At present these guys often pay less National Insurance than their cleaners and are really not self employed traders but corporate men/women who should pay NIC at the same rate as employees of corporates
