Rachel Reeves hints at tax rises in autumn price range after welfare invoice U-turn

Rachel Reeves has hinted that taxes are prone to be raised this autumn after a significant U-turn on the federal government’s controversial welfare invoice.

Sir Keir Starmer’s Common Credit score and Private Impartial Fee Invoice handed by means of the Home of Commons on Tuesday after a number of concessions and threats of a significant rise up.

MPs ended up voting for just one a part of the plan: a lower to common credit score (UC) illness advantages for brand new claimants from £97 every week to £50 from 2026/7.

Initially aimed toward saving £5.5bn, it now leaves the federal government with an estimated £5.5bn black gap – near breaching Ms Reeves’s fiscal guidelines set out final yr.

Rachel Reeves’s fiscal dilemma

In an interview with The Guardian, the chancellor didn’t rule out tax rises later within the yr, saying there have been “costs” to watering down the welfare invoice.

“I’m not going to [rule out tax rises], because it would be irresponsible for a chancellor to do that,” Ms Reeves instructed the outlet.

“We took the decisions last year to draw a line under unfunded commitments and economic mismanagement.

“So we’ll by no means need to do one thing like that once more. However there are prices to what occurred.”

In the meantime, The Occasions reported that, forward of the Commons vote on the welfare invoice, Ms Reeves instructed cupboard ministers the choice to supply concessions would imply taxes must be raised.

The outlet reported that the chancellor stated the tax rises can be smaller than these introduced within the 2024 price range, however that she is anticipated to have to lift tens of billions extra.

It comes after Ms Reeves stated she was “totally” as much as persevering with as chancellor after showing tearful at Prime Minister’s Questions.

Sir Keir didn’t explicitly say that she would, and Ms Badenoch interjected to say: “How awful for the chancellor that he couldn’t confirm that she would stay in place.”
