This will be the first cut to the basic rate in 16 years, and is over a £5 billion tax cut for workers, savers, and pensioners.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to doing this in a responsible and sustainable way. The cut to the basic rate of Income Tax will require continued fiscal discipline and depend on the broader economy</p><p> </p><p>The Government has raised the Personal Allowance (PA) by over 40 per cent in real terms in the last decade. A typical basic rate taxpayer will still be over £600 better off in 2025-26 than they would have been if the Government had not taken this action to increase the PA above inflation since 2010-11.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is aligning the Primary Threshold and Lower Profits Limit – the point at which employees and the self-employed respectively start paying Class 1 and Class 4 National Insurance contributions– with the internationally high Income Tax Personal Allowance rising to £12,570 from July 2022. This means the amount that people will be able to earn tax free will increase by £2,690 and is a tax cut worth over £330 for a typical employee in the first year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 10/06/2022 08:47:00 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
