LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 06: Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, leaves 11 Downing Street with his ministerial box before delivering his Budget in the Houses of Parliament on March 06, 2024 in London, England. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt delivers his 2024 Spring Budget to Parliament.
Hunt appears to have plumped for a national insurance cut because it is the less expensive option, and is also less likely to push up inflation.The way parents lose child benefit will be changed to address the current “confusing and unfair” system and save half a million families £1300 next year, Hunt said.
It means two parents earning £49,000 a year receive the benefit in full but a household earning a lot less than that does not if just one parent earns over £50,000.Hunt said this would change and the government would consult on moving the HICBC to a household-based system, to be introduced by April 2026.
The tax is bitterly opposed by Scottish Tory MPs, who say it will put jobs in the north east of Scotland at risk.Hunt increased the tax in November 2022 from 25% rate to 35%, and also extended it until 2028 while expanding it to electricity generators with a levy of 45%One of the most obvious signs that an election is near, was confirmation that Hunt is stealing one of Labour’s key pledges and scrapping the non-dom tax status.
Labour has long promised to axe the status and has pledged to spend the money on the NHS and education.The party will now either have to find the money to pay for its pledges elsewhere or oppose the cut in taxes.
