Mini Budget Dutton Moore Comment
23 September 2022

Following today’s Mini Budget from new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, we have prepared a round-up of some of todays’ key announcements...

Today has seen a real sea change in economic orthodoxy. The Chancellor has announced tax cuts to stimulate economic growth and release potential in the economy. It is the biggest tax cutting budget for 50 years and a massive economic shake-up and cutting of regulations, with estimates that the Government will borrow up to £45 billion to pay for tax cuts.

The markets saw the pound take an instant hit at the announcements – hitting a 37-year low against the dollar. Warnings come that interest rates could double to over 5% within a year.

The Government estimates 31 million people will be £170 a year better off with today’s announcements.

Some key points include:

  • Corporation Tax remains at 19% and the planned rise to 25% in April 2023 has been cancelled.
  • The 1.25% National Insurance rise is being cancelled from November 6th.
  • The basic rate of Income Tax will be cut from next April from 20% to 19% and the 45% tax for high earners (over £150k) abolished.
  • Stamp Duty threshold raised to £250K and £425k for first-time buyers.
  • 38 Investment Zones have been announced, which will be an interesting area to watch.
  • The IR35 rules for temporary contractors to be simplified.
  • Finally CSOP share options for employees to be doubled from £30k to £60k.
