Stamp Duty Land Tax relief for first-time buyers was the big Budget climax on 22 November. 

In a Budget speech that talked of "choosing the future", "seizing opportunities" and "dreaming" of a glorious future for Britain, chancellor Philip Hammond presented his own anthem for doomed youth, promising more investment into education, jobs and housebuilding to help win over the generation that flocked to Jeremy Corbyn's red flag in the most recent election. 

He told a raucous House of Commons: "I have a clear vision of what a global Britain looks like: a prosperous and inclusive economy where everybody has the opportunity to shine. 

"Where talent and hard work are rewarded. Where the dream of home ownership is a reality for all generations."

And to this end, he announced stamp duty land tax relief for first-time buyers on properties of up to £300,000 or, in London and the South East, where house prices are disproportionately high, relief on the first £300,000 of properties worth up to £500,000.

But while the focus was on housebuilding and homeownership for the young, attention was definitely not on social care, pensions, Isas or inheritance tax. 

In fact, one commentator called it: "A dull and boring budget on pensions". This was Jon Greer, head of retirement policy for Old Mutual Wealth. He added: "This is highly unusual after so many years of change."

But more devilish details and cunning changes to pensions taxation may lie in wait for the UK in 2018, when we will be delivered a Brexit Budget. As Lee Clark, chartered financial planner for Brewin Dolphin warns, "we'll have to wait and see what is in store for us next year."

This guide brings the latest in changes made in the Budget, outlines what these might mean for the personal finance industry, and enable advisers to list the main developments to their clients. 

This qualifies for an indicative 60 minutes' worth of CPD.
