It’s political.
Kick the can down the road, beyond the next election.
Poisoned chalice for whoever comes after.

It’s all stealth taxes.Unless I've missed something, I don't seem to be going to pay any more into the national pot than I was when I woke up, which seems odd.
How as this impacted others?
What do Labour offer....good to see the sensible centre in charge.Poisoned chalice for whoever comes after.

Allowances have not risen. So you pay more without realising.
If average pay is up 4% then tax free allowances should go up 4% too.
i'd like to know why the tories are making decision for years after the next general election, when they may not even be in power then......

Yep, as far as I can see a lot of people at the bottom are going to pay significantly more income tax.
For me there's not a lot of change, but my wife will likely be caught now in the higher income band.
There should have been a more thorough overhaul of the capital gains taxes, which is how the real high earners get their income.
I think planning beyond the next election is reasonable and allows the OBR to forecast for medium term.Budget planning over an economic cycle should help with stability.
Any new incoming government may or may not decide to continue with the plan.
Or there is that motivation of course. Kick it to past the election they aren't expected to win and then moan at Labour when they have to pick up the pieces.
It's madness.
I'm unaffected but in an earnings bracket where am sure most could afford to pay a little more and save those at the bottom.
The reason asked was because one of the items in the budget statted….”personal tax thresholds will not be raised until after 2028”……how can they say that when they are only in power until at the latest 2025?..
Yet to look at the detail, but I'll be hit with the 'lecy car charge.Unless I've missed something, I don't seem to be going to pay any more into the national pot than I was when I woke up, which seems odd.

I really don't get why road pricing is not introduced. Anecdotal evidence suggests the price of energy is making some people think about their use of gas and electricity. Why would this not translate to car use?

I am sure it would “work”, but, is rationing by price “fair”?
