Tax Allowance Shift Sparks Debate | Leeds News

Leeds News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/07/21

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is eyeing a long-overdue tweak to the tax-free personal allowance—frozen since 2021—which could pull more workers into higher tax brackets as wages rise, a phenomenon known as fiscal drag. He’s also set to scrap VAT on energy bills starting October. Currently, you pay no tax until you earn £12,570; anything above that kicks in 20% tax. Experts warn even a modest £500 boost could cost the Treasury billions. Dan Neidle of Tax Policy Associates calls it a “bad tax cut,”

VAT Cut on Electricity? Not So Fast | Leeds News

Leeds News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/07/21

New PM Andy Burnham shocks the nation with a bold move: slashing VAT on domestic electricity starting October 1st to ease soaring energy bills. But experts warn it might not deliver the relief families hope for — as the energy price cap is set to rise by 3%, costing households more than the VAT cut saves over six months. While the average household could see a $45 annual saving, the timing and offsetting hikes mean many may feel little to no difference. Burnham frames it as a much-needed

Tax Allowance Freeze Hits Millions | Leeds News

2026/07/21

The personal tax allowance, frozen at $12,570 for five years, is forcing nearly a million people into higher tax brackets—and hundreds of thousands into income tax for the first time by 2030. New PM calls it a campaign issue that “lodged in his mind,” while experts argue a targeted cut like a penny off employee NI could be more effective than raising the allowance. A petition demanding a $18,000 threshold has hit 40,000 signatures—just 60,000 away from triggering a parliamentary debate. The
