The Government has introduced a range of measures to support savers.<\/p>
We have increased the amount of money that people can save into their ISAs each year to a record £20,000 and introduced a Personal Savings Allowance of up to £1,000 for basic rate taxpayers and up to £500 for higher rate taxpayers.<\/p>
Thanks to these measures, over 95% of people with savings income pay no tax on that income.<\/p>

As a responsible Government, we have been preparing for a range of potential EU exit outcomes for over two years, including the possibility of no deal.<\/p>
In November 2018 the Government published a detailed set of economic analyses on the long-term impacts of EU exit on the UK economy, its sectors, nations and regions, and the public finances.<\/p>
The analysis shows that the spectrum of outcomes for the future UK-EU relationship would deliver significantly higher economic output than the no deal scenario. Every sector, nation and region would be better-off than in a no deal scenario.<\/p>
