UK's Reeves set to prolong freeze on income tax thresholds, FT reports - REUTERS
LONDON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - British finance minister Rachel Reeves is expected to prolong a freeze on income tax thresholds beyond 2028 in the government's upcoming budget, in a move that could raise 7 billion pounds ($9.1 billion) a year, the Financial Times reported on Friday.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised voters before last July's election that he would not put up income tax rates or other key rates of taxation, adding to the new government's challenge of improving public services and raising investment.
