Policy costingsDuring the run-up to Budgets and other policy statements, we subject the Government’s draft costings of tax and spending measures to detailed challenge and scrutiny. We then state in the Economic and fiscal outlook and the Treasury’s costing documents whether we endorse the costings that the Government finally publishes as reasonable central estimates. November 2011The Office for Budget Responsibility scrutinised and certified the costings of those policy decisions announced in the Autumn Statement and since the March 2011 Budget that affect the public finance forecasts.
