Introduction - Article Bishop Auckland : Mitchells Grievson

Introduction

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves set out tax-raising measures worth up to £26 billion in the Autumn Budget on 26 November 2025.

The increases will be achieved through a range of measures, including extending the freeze on Income Tax thresholds for a further three years.

Tax increases

In addition to maintaining Income Tax thresholds, taxes on property, dividend and saving income will be increased.

The Budget also announced employee and employer National Insurance contributions (NICs) on salary sacrifice pension contributions above £2,000 a year and introduced a tax on homes valued at £2 million or more.

That is my choice

On spending, Ms Reeves took action to cut energy bills, freeze rail fares and end the two-child benefit cap.

Ms Reeves said: 'I can tell you today that, for every family we are keeping our promise to get energy bills down and cut the cost of living with £150 taken off the average household energy bill from April.

'Money off bills, and in the pockets of working people. That is my choice.'
