Today, the Chancellor, Philip Hammond delivered his Autumn 2017 Budget. There was little change to personal taxation with no increase in income tax or national insurance keeping in line with The Conservative 2015 election manifesto. The personal allowance is currently £11,500, whereby the first £11,500 of an individual’s income is received tax free – it was announced today that the personal allowance for income tax will rise to £11,850 from April 2018 for all UK taxpayers.
