Every announced tax and benefit change, and when it starts

Last updated . Figures refresh every night. How each figure is worked out.

21 announced changes are still to start, the next being No VAT on household electricity for six months on 1 October 2026. The largest on the official costings is “Income tax and National Insurance thresholds frozen to 2031”, which raises £12.4bn in 2030-31. The next fiscal event is Budget 2026 on 28 October 2026, which can add, change or cancel any of them.

What is the short version?

  • Dated and costed: each change has the date it starts, who it affects, the official estimate of what it raises or costs, and its sources.
  • Costings are the government’s and the OBR’s, as scored at the Budget or Statement that announced them. Later events can change them.
  • 3 changes are not yet fully set: Fuel duty: the 5p cut ends; Extra business rates cut for pubs, clubs and live music venues; State Pension rise under the triple lock. The next Budget confirms or costs them.
  • Worked examples are illustrations, for one household at stated assumptions, not predictions of any one person’s bill.

What starts when

The changes the government has announced that have not started yet, in date order. Each links to its entry in the table below, with what changes, who it affects, the official costing and a worked example where one applies. Changes that started earlier in 2026 are in the table too.

How much each one raises or costs

The official costings side by side. They come from the OBR’s policy measures database, which records every measure the Treasury scores at each fiscal event, added up across the taxes and spending lines it affects. Where a measure is not in the database, the Treasury’s printed scorecard is used, and the table says which.

What each change raises (+) or costs (−) the Exchequer in the last year costed, £ million

Changes worth less than £100 million a year are in the table above. Costings are as scored at the fiscal event named for each change.

Who gains and who pays: the published analysis

What the published distributional analysis says

  • HM Treasury, Impact on households: distributional analysis to accompany Budget 2025

    Published
    26 November 2025
    • The Treasury's analysis looks at 2028-29 and at decisions taken since Autumn Budget 2024. It says that all but the richest 10% of households gain from those decisions as a share of their income, with the largest gains, as a share of income, for the lowest-income households.
    • It publishes the results as charts only, with no data table, so this site quotes its conclusions rather than reproducing its figures.
  • Resolution Foundation, Stairway to headroom (November 2025)

    Published
    27 November 2025
    • Extending the income tax and National Insurance threshold freeze costs a typical employee about £220 a year by 2030-31, on the Foundation's estimate.
    • In 2028-29 it puts the cost of the freeze extension at about £73 a year for a basic-rate taxpayer, £222 for a higher-rate taxpayer and £52 for a basic-rate pensioner.
    • It estimates the richest fifth of households lose about £540 a year on average from the freezes, against about £64 for the poorest fifth.
    • It values the end of the two-child limit at about £3,570 a year for each extra child that now qualifies (2029-30, in 2025-26 prices).

The Institute for Fiscal Studies also publishes distributional analysis of each Budget; its site could not be read automatically, so its figures are not reproduced here.

What these figures do and don't show

  • Costings are estimates made when each measure was announced, including how people are expected to change their behaviour. The OBR rates many of them as uncertain, and later events can re-cost them.
  • A positive costing means the Exchequer gains; it is not the same as what any one household pays.
  • Some changes apply only in England or in Great Britain; each entry says where.
  • Changes announced outside a fiscal event, such as the 2026 cost-of-living measures, have no OBR-certified costing until the next Budget; the government’s own estimate is shown instead and labelled.
  • Worked examples hold pay and circumstances fixed. They are not forecasts of any household’s tax bill.
