Reeves confirmed there will be <strong>no increases in the rates of income tax, national insurance, or value-added tax (VAT)<\/strong>. Instead, the government will fund its spending plans through a series of targeted tax reforms, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ending VAT Exemptions:<\/strong> Removing the longstanding tax break for private schools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Abolishing &#8216;Non-Dom&#8217; Status:<\/strong> Scrapping the controversial tax status for non-domiciled residents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Closing Loopholes:<\/strong> Targeting the &#8216;carried interest&#8217; loophole often used in the private equity sector to reduce tax on bonuses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Windfall Tax:<\/strong> Implementing a windfall tax on the profits of major oil and gas companies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Fiscal Discipline and Public Investment<\/h2>\n<p>To ensure economic stability, the budget adheres to strict fiscal rules. These mandate that public sector net debt must be falling as a share of GDP by the fifth year of the forecast, and borrowing must remain below 3% of GDP.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside these rules, the government announced significant investments in key public services. The plan includes a spending increase for the National Health Service (NHS), a commitment to recruit 6,500 new teachers, and the establishment of a National Wealth Fund to drive investment in green energy projects across the country. The OBR will provide two fiscal forecasts annually to ensure transparency and accountability for these plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Labour Unveils Ambitious Economic Strategy UK Finance Minister Rachel Reeves has presented a new budget aimed at achieving the highest sustained economic growth in the G7.
