Today's budget was a biggy. The chancellor, George Osborne, had already promised that everyone in the UK would be affected, but it is now clear that some people will feel the hit on their finances more than others.

You might be worried about how your spending is going to be hit by the VAT rise; be a buy-to-let investor scared about the increase in capital gains tax; or unemployed and concerned about what the new government is going to do to get you back into work.

To help you work out what the budget means to you, we have laid on a panel of experts to answer your questions. Frank Nash of accountants Blick Rothenberg, Martin Bamford of independent financial advisers Informed Choice, and Darran Hills, a counsellor with the benefits and debt advisory charity the Consumer Credit Counselling Service, will be online from 12.30pm to 1.30pm tomorrow to answer your questions.
