🚨 Important Update on Personal Tax Thresholds! 🚨
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering freezing the current tax thresholds until 2030. If this goes ahead, it could generate around £8 billion a year for the Treasury. The anticipated income tax hike is off the table for now, thanks to new forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility. 🌟
But that’s not all – a new levy might be introduced for high-value properties, mainly targeting homes in London and the South East. This could affect around 2.4 million properties, with a special surcharge possibly hitting 300,000 on top of existing council tax bills.
While big income tax rises are shelved, smaller tax adjustments could still be in the works. This means potential changes in salary sacrifice schemes and new taxes for electric vehicles could be announced soon. 🚗💼
Rachel Reeves has highlighted the need for “resilient public finances,” aiming to build a buffer against economic challenges. While the Government grapples with making tough decisions, investors are keeping a close eye on how these shifts might affect economic growth and borrowing costs.
