The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) warned before the election that the new government will either need to raise taxes or cut spending in order to meet its own fiscal targets – Rachel Reeves has since confirmed this. </p><p>After announcing several spending plans that were being scrapped, the Chancellor indicated that tax cuts would be likely outlined at the forthcoming Budget. However, there was no further detail on what this might look like, and who would be affected.</p><p>Labour says it will maintain the freeze on income tax thresholds, dragging millions more people into higher tax bands.

However, a Labour Party spokesman said recently that there were “no plans” to change tax relief and there is no mention of it in the manifesto.</p><p>Income tax thresholds are frozen until 2027-28, and inflation is set to drag more than seven million people into higher income tax bands by the end of the decade as allowances fail to keep pace with price rises.
