The chancellor faced the challenge of tackling another fiscal black hole and repeatedly affirmed her commitment to Labour’s manifesto pledge not to raise income tax, value-added tax, or national insurance for working people. The government introduced several smaller, targeted measures to boost revenue, resulting in £26 billion of tax increases by 2029/30.

Additionally, these measures give the chancellor an extra £22 billion in fiscal headroom. Key announcements by the chancellor included changes to tax and savings regulations, such as a freeze on income tax thresholds, modifications to salary sacrifice schemes, and a reduction in the Cash ISA allowance.
