Chancellor's Spring Statement Announces Tax Cuts to Support Families with Cost of Living
The Chancellor delivered a Spring Statement, on Wednesday 23rd March, that puts billions of pounds back into the pockets of hard-working people, unveiling a new Tax Plan to ease the rising cost of living and to deliver the biggest cut to personal taxes in a quarter of a century.
An outline of the announcements can be viewed below:
Ahead of the end of the super-deduction, the government will work with businesses and other stakeholders to consider cuts and reforms to best support future investment. With UK employers spending just half the European average on training their employees, the Chancellor said he will examine how the tax system, including the operation of the Apprenticeship Levy, can be used to encourage employers to invest in adult training.
