The NIC increase of 1.25% which started in April 2022 is cancelled as from 6 November and the Health & Social Care Levy which would replace it in April 2023 will no longer go ahead.
The level at which Stamp Duty starts increases from £125,000 to £250,000, and for 1st time buyers increases to £425,000.
IR35 reforms to be repealed.
Corporation Tax increase cancelled, so the rate for small businesses will remain at 19%.
