The government has frozen fuel duty in every year from 2011 to lessen the impact of high fuel prices on households and business costs. In total, our action on fuel since 2010 has saved the average car driver £130 a year and the average van driver £350 compared to what they would have been paying under the previous Labour government’s escalator plans.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 02/11/2017 17:52:42 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

The tax due can be satisfied (in part) by the notional tax credit (10% of the grossed dividend). The table reflects the grossed dividend in total income and shows the income tax liability before the tax credit is offset. From 2016-17 the dividend tax credit is abolished, effective dividend tax rates are increased by 7.5% and a £5,000 Personal Dividend Allowance is introduced. This affects the measure of total income and leads to a discontinuity in the basis on which tax liabilities are presented between 2015-16 (and earlier) and 2016-17, so the share of incomes and tax liabilities are not directly comparable.</p><p>(3) Percentile groups ranged on total income before tax.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 02/11/2017 17:10:40 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
