The '''3026 Wiltshirian Commonwealth national budget''' was delivered to the [[Wiltshire National Assembly|National Assembly]] by [[Chancellor of the Exchequer (Wiltshire)|chancellor]] Lucy Burgers on Thursday 6 November 3025. It was the first full fiscal year budget of the [[Martin Ministry (Wiltshire)|Conservative government led by Beau Martin]]. Building off Chancellor Burgers's summer statement following the general election, the full budget outlined the government's complete renovation of the public finances, including the introduction of the new systems of personal and corporate income tax.
The '''3026 Wiltshirian Commonwealth national budget''' was delivered to the [[Wiltshire National Assembly|National Assembly]] by [[Chancellor of the Exchequer (Wiltshire)|chancellor]] Basil Lethbridge on Monday 1 December 3025. Subtitled '''Fixing the Foundations for a Strong Economic Recovery''', the budget became the groundwork for the largest reformation of fiscal and economic policy in Wiltshirian history. The budget abolished the income tax, the national insurance tax, and all value-added sales taxes, replacing them with the Universal Standard Tax (UST). Additionally, the budget made allowances for the largest sell-off of public services to private providers in history.  


In the budget, the chancellor announced that the national minimum wage would increase for the first time since 3021, going from 11.25 cm to 12.25 cm per hour. In addition, additional discretionary funds were made available to all offices of state to facilitate the reconstruction of Wiltshire's crumbling infrastructure.  
Additionally, the budget slashed capital expenditure on new schools, hospitals, and public services, leaving significant openings for deals for private financing. The budget cut the national minimum wage to 7.50 cm per hour, down from 11.25 as set in 3020.  
 
The budget was passed into law on 1 December 3025 and was one of the last two major pieces of [[Second Martin Ministry (Wiltshire)|Beau Martin's second ministry]] before his resignation on 1 January 3026, the other being the passage of the Pan-Doggerland Free Trade Agreements with Paxem and the Doggerland Covalence Mechanism (DCM).

The 3026 Wiltshirian Commonwealth national budget was delivered to the National Assembly by chancellor Basil Lethbridge on Monday 1 December 3025. Subtitled Fixing the Foundations for a Strong Economic Recovery, the budget became the groundwork for the largest reformation of fiscal and economic policy in Wiltshirian history. The budget abolished the income tax, the national insurance tax, and all value-added sales taxes, replacing them with the Universal Standard Tax (UST). Additionally, the budget made allowances for the largest sell-off of public services to private providers in history.

Additionally, the budget slashed capital expenditure on new schools, hospitals, and public services, leaving significant openings for deals for private financing. The budget cut the national minimum wage to 7.50 cm per hour, down from 11.25 as set in 3020.

The budget was passed into law on 1 December 3025 and was one of the last two major pieces of Beau Martin's second ministry before his resignation on 1 January 3026, the other being the passage of the Pan-Doggerland Free Trade Agreements with Paxem and the Doggerland Covalence Mechanism (DCM).
