The Budget is the government's annual announcement of how it intends to raise money for government spending. It involves a prediction of the economic growth, a review of the taxes including income tax, vehicle excise duty, fuel duty, family benefits etc & announcements on how much the government is pledging to spend on public services.
Duty is also normally increased on tobacco & alcohol which is always a big talking point.
For fear of boring you further, I'll shut up
, but if you're really interested, link attached giving more details

Oh duh! It just clicked!
I was thinking that there was a special day called "Budget Day" - somewhere along the lines of Queens Birthday or Labour Day.
Now I realise that it's the day that the government announces their financial plans etc.
