Finance (No. 2) Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 April 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for making that helpful point.

Turning to the wider issue of fairness, in addition to the steps that we have taken on avoidance and evasion, the Bill builds on previous coalition policy by ensuring that individuals and businesses will make a fair contribution, while the Government continue to support those on the lowest incomes. We continue to reward work and help hard-working families with the cost of living, and the Bill therefore increases the income tax personal allowance to £9,440 from this month. That represents the biggest ever cash increase, and the Chancellor has announced that the threshold will rise again, to £10,000, from next year.
