Hi,
just to say that the Virtual Chancellor online simulation at:
http://www.virtual-worlds.org.uk/vwc
has just been updated to reflect yesterday's Budget.
Virtual Chancellor is an online simulation of the British Economy,
putting you in the shoes of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. You can
change Government Spending, Income Tax, Spending Taxes and National
Insurance, and see how that affects families and the National economy as
a whole. It was written by the original authors of Virtual Economy
(http://www.bized.ac.uk/virtual/economy, which is no longer being updated).
Also online is the BBC Ready Reckoner:

Original version by Jocelyn Paine and me, now maintained by the
Institute for Fiscal Studies.
