The Digital Services Tax will only apply to businesses with in-scope revenues of more than £500 million globally and £25 million in the UK, and businesses will not have to pay the tax on their first £25 million of relevant UK revenues. This means small businesses will not be in scope of the tax.<\/p>
<\/p>
The tax also includes a \u2018safe-harbour\u2019 which means those with very low profit margins will be able to elect to pay a lower rate of tax, which will ensure the DST is proportionate.<\/p>"}

The first Road Investment Strategy brought over £15bn of investment to England\u2019s strategic roads between 2015-2020. This included a number of schemes improving many of the strategic road links on the Reading-Gatwick road corridor.<\/p>
<\/p>
At Budget 2018, the Chancellor announced that the National Roads Fund will be £28.8 billion from 2020-2025. We expect £25.3 billion of this will fund the Roads Investment Strategy 2, which is the largest ever investment in England\u2019s strategic roads.<\/p>

HMT ministers and officials continue to work closely with their DfT counterparts to consider and monitor the delivery of specific investments as part of the Road Investment Strategy.<\/p>"}
