CHANCELLOR Rishi Sunak slashed fuel duty and promised tax cuts but also left South West businesses underwhelmed by his Spring Statement mini-Budget.
The Chancellor cut fuel duty by five pence a litre, with immediate effect but for only a year, and raised the National Insurance threshold by £3,000 from July so people will be able to earn £12,570 before paying any Income Tax or National Insurance. He also promised to cut Income Tax from 20% to 19% by 2024 and moved to help small businesses by increasing Employment Allowance to £5,000.
But he ignored calls from businesses to abandon the 1.25% tax hike in National Insurance contributions from April 2022 and a planned rise in Corporation Tax.
Business organisations across the region said, while the measures are welcome, they will do little to aid companies reeling from soaring inflation and energy costs.
