What happened
Income tax bands in the UK have been frozen until 2031, which means a greater proportion of pay will be taxed than would otherwise be expected. The salary threshold for repaying student loans will remain frozen at £29,385 for three years from next April, requiring graduates to repay 9% of earnings over that amount. Separately, the decision to abolish standing charges on gas bills and extend the VAT cut on electricity to July will reduce energy costs for English households.
