answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting savers at all stages of life and has introduced a range of measures in recent years to help people build their savings in the way that is right for them.</p><p> </p><p>This year we are introducing a new Help to Save scheme to support working families on low incomes to build up a rainy-day fund, by offering a 50% bonus on up to £50 of monthly savings. We have also increased the ISA allowance by a record amount to £20,000 and introduced a Personal Savings Allowance of up to £1,000 for basic rate taxpayers and £500 for higher rate taxpayers. Thanks to these measures over 95% of people pay no tax on their savings income.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside savings measures, the Government has made significant progress on reducing taxes so that working families can take home more of what they earn. As a result of increases to the personal allowance, a typical basic rate taxpayer will pay £1,075 less income tax in 2018-19, compared to 2010-11.</p><p> </p><p>The Chancellor of the Exchequer keeps all tax policy under review to be considered as part of the budget process.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 05/07/2018 15:34:34 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
