What should contractors expect from the 2008 budget?

Will the new Budget to be announced this Wednesday, March 12 include any good news for contractors?

We know that there will probably be some bad news about income shifting (although it might be better than we originally expected). But there could also be some good news about capital gains?

Usually the Labour Government claims to lower taxes, but the Conservatives then claim they take away more in a different way? We are after all headed for an economic slowdown, so perhaps the Chancellor will make some effort to help us all?

So is there any chance of good news in this Budget? Anything you might hope for? Tell us about it.
