Free AccessChancellor Confirms Almost Total U-Turn On Mini-Budget
New Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt confirms that almost all measures from the 23 September mini-budget will be reversed following weeks of market turbulence.
- Hunt: Will make a detailed statement to parliament later today [1030ET, 1530BST, 1630CET].
- Hunt: Stamp duty changes, National Insurance changes will go ahead.
- Hunt: The basic rate of income tax will not be cut, will remain at 20% 'indefinitely' until market conditions allow for a cut.
- Hunt: Measures announced today will raise around GBP32bn
- Hunt: Energy price guarantee will not change until April.
- Hunt: There will be more difficult decisions I'm afraid on tax and spending.
- Treasury on the Energy price guarantee: A Treasury-led review will be launched to consider how to support households and businesses with energy bills after April 2023. The objective of the review is to design a new approach that will cost the taxpayer significantly less than planned whilst ensuring enough support for those in need.
