"The Labour chancellor introduced a raft of tax increases and spending cuts at the much-anticipated fiscal event, as well as an end to the controversial two-child benefit cap.

Around 1.7 million earners will face higher taxes by 2029/30 after the decision to extend the freeze on income tax thresholds until 2030/31. A new council tax surcharge targets owners of high-value homes as a form of mansion tax. Employer salary-sacrifice pension contributions above £2,000 will become subject to national insurance from 2029. The measures create roughly £22bn of fiscal headroom on top of £40bn of prior tax rises and push the tax-to-GDP ratio toward 38% by 2030/31.
