The government is committed to keeping taxes low to support working people keep more of what they earn.<\/p>

Budget 2018 announced that the government will increase the personal allowance to £12,500 and the higher rate threshold to £50,000 from April 2019, one year earlier than planned.<\/p>

This tax cut means, in 2019-20, a typical basic rate taxpayer will pay £1,205 less in tax than in 2010-11. Across the UK, 1.74 million of the lowest paid will be taken out of tax entirely since 2015, leaving more of their hard-earned money in their pockets.<\/p>

In 2010 we inherited the largest deficit since the second world war at nearly 10% of GDP. We\u2019ve successfully reduced that to 2.3% last year, but our debt is still too high.<\/p>

<\/p>

High levels of debt leave us vulnerable to economic shocks and incur significant amounts of debt interest.<\/p>

<\/p>

That is why the government has clear fiscal plans to reduce borrowing further and get debt falling.<\/p>

Improving access to banking services is central to the Government\u2019s agenda. I am therefore delighted that the nine largest personal current account providers in the UK have been offering new basic bank accounts since January 2016.<\/p>

For the first time, truly fee-free basic bank accounts are available for anyone who doesn\u2019t have an account, or can\u2019t use their account due to financial difficulty.<\/p>

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is currently migrating hundreds of existing guidance manuals from its own website to GOV.UK. HMRC expects the changeover to be completed over the next few months. The department's priority has been moving existing manuals, but I am pleased to say that the Theatre Tax Relief Manual will be one of the first new manuals to be published on GOV.UK. In the interim, HMRC will shortly make available a temporary version via GOV.UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The theatre tax relief was introduced with effect from 1 September 2014. The regime provides relief for companies producing qualifying theatrical productions. There is a special unit within HMRC for the creative industries that regularly advise taxpayers on this relief and how to make claims.<\/p>

As detailed in the National Infrastructure Plan and Autumn Statement, subject to the development of delivery options by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Ofcom, further details of the change of use of 700MHz spectrum will be set out in 2015. As part of that process, we will look at the impact for Programme Making and Special Events and other current users.<\/p>
