Hundreds of thousands of Brummies will get a tax cut after with income tax personal allowance rising to £11,500 next year.

The allowance is already set to rise to £11,000 in two weeks and will go a step further towards the Government’s target.

Chancellor George Osborne also announced the higher rate threshold will rise from £42,385 to £45,000 from April next year, taking more than half a million people “who should never have been paying the higher rate out of that higher tax band altogether”.

He said: “From April next year, I am raising the tax-free personal allowance to £11,500.

“That’s a tax cut for 31 million people.

“It means a typical basic rate taxpayer will be paying over £1,000 less income tax than five years ago.

“And it means another 1.3 million of the lowest paid taken out of tax altogether.”

Replying to the Budget, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told MPs: “The Budget the Chancellor has just delivered is actually the culmination of six years of his failures.”

Deputy Speaker Lindsay Hoyle had to intervene as Tory MPs heckled Mr Corbyn.

The Labour leader went on: “It’s a recovery built on sand on a Budget of failure.

“He’s failed on the budget deficit, failed on debt, failed on investment, failed on productivity, failed on trade deficit, failed on the welfare cap, failed to tackle inequality in this country.”
