Prime Minister: Boris Johnson; Chancellor: Rishi Sunak.

Rishi Sun produced the ‘tax, spend and save’ budget, the third and last chancellor of the UK. He raised taxes to their highest level in 70 years amid forecasts of a £35bn annual windfall and promised to pump more money into public services as they recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Budget, 3 March 2021

Prime Minister: Boris Johnson; Chancellor: Rishi Sunak.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the current expenditure, tax later budget, which was postponed from the fall of 2020, broke many records and highlighted the extent of the extraordinary state support provided during the crisis. The UK government’s borrowing forecast for 2020-21 is estimated at £355 billion, the highest since World War II. The tax increase for businesses and individuals by the middle of the decade was promised to be the largest since 1993. The increases would take the UK’s tax burden to the highest level – 35 per cent of gross domestic product in 2025-26 – since Roy Jenkins was Labor chancellor in the late 1960s.

Rishi Sunak has earmarked £65 billion over the next two years to support jobs and investment, followed by £25 billion a year in corporation tax and income tax rises until the middle of the decade. Mr Sun became the first chancellor to raise corporate tax rates since Labor’s Denis Healey in 1974.

Budget March 11, 2020

Prime Minister Boris Johnson; Chancellor: Rishi Sunak

Rishi Su ended decades of austerity by boosting public spending and delivering £12bn of extraordinary fiscal stimulus to combat the shock of the coronavirus pandemic. Almost two weeks later, the UK government imposed the first nationwide lockdown. Sunak took over as chancellor less than a month after the sudden resignation of his predecessor, Sajid Javid, and pledged to take the necessary steps to ease the effects of the “transitional disruption” caused by Covid-19. He promised to pour money into the NHS, saying there would be “millions or billions” to tackle the disease. The net investment of the public sector has been increased from nearly 2 percent to 3 percent of national income, while the government reimburses part of the costs to businesses, for which the legal sick pay is distributed to self-isolators.

The budget planned for the fall of 2020 was canceled due to the epidemic.

Prime Minister: Theresa May; Chancellor: Philip Hammond

Philip Hammond said the era of austerity in Britain was “finally coming to an end” as he delivered the biggest budget since 2010. But he warned that a disorderly Brexit could cast a cloud over cash-strapped public services. Updated government borrowing and growth forecasts have enabled the chancellor to fund an annual increase in NHS spending which will rise to £27.6bn by 2023/24. The NHS has proposed real growth of 3.4 per cent each year over five years, but all other public services – including schools, the police, social care, prisons and housing – would at best only enjoy an inflation-linked boost after eight years of cuts. growth.

Prime Minister: Theresa May; Chancellor: Philip Hammond

Philip Hammond has promised to fix the UK housing market and his signature policy plan is a £44bn package of investment, loans and guarantees to boost the number of new homes. Five-year estimates for the UK’s economic expansion were cut due to weak productivity growth, leaving the chancellor less room to cushion the shock of leaving the EU. Households are projected to face 17 years of wage stagnation.
