How will the Autumn Budget affect you?

Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt laid out his Autumn Budget on Thursday (17 November).

Mr Hunt's sweeping announcements included changes to income tax thresholds, large cuts to public spending and changes to road tax laws for electric vehicles.

The chancellor also addressed soaring energy bills and provided updates on inflation.

Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves criticised the plans, stating that Britain can "no longer afford a conservative government".

"Electric cars will no longer be exempt from road tax from 2025" I knew this would be a given sooner or later.

This leaves out the Council tax which is presumably going up by 10 to 20% a year?

shame about the 23% increase in fuel duty he forgot to mention march 2023

They are raising taxes to cover 54billion due to conservative 12 years of miss management. As a few MPs have stated why don't they look at wastage in governmental offices whitehall ect they have stated the restructuring of Whitehall ie will save billions so no need for excessive tax rises

Why do it say how it will effect us not the politicians personally

[Al-Hunt]

Finally they're taxing the people who can afford it

TBH I'm more expecting a depression. And you don't increase people's ability to pay heating bills by taxing them more prahaps the government could ask the public for a loan and put their heads in the block.

This of course has NOTHING to do with Brexit. Nothing at all

[deansinger]
