The government has rejected the income tax hike
The Chancellor has scrapped plans to raise income tax rates, but a number of other tax changes are still under consideration which could cost you £555 by 2030. Rachel Reeves rejected proposals to raise taxes in last week's budget due to significant backlash from voters and MPs.“The proposals were very unpopular among voters and MPs”Despite scrapping the income tax hike, the government still has other options for increasing tax rates in mind, which could impact household budgets.
