UK households face tax rise of £3,500 a year by next election, finds IFS

  • British households are expected to pay £3,500 more in taxes per year compared to pre-2019 levels, due to significant tax increases implemented over the current parliament. This is projected to be the highest tax burden since the 1950s.
  • The Conservative Party, known for favoring low taxes, will raise over £100 billion more each year, bringing the tax burden to 37% of national income, the highest level in decades. The increase in taxes is not solely due to the pandemic but rather a long-term trend.
  • The Institute for Fiscal Studies predicts that taxes will continue to comprise 37% of national income by the next general election in 2024, reinforcing the substantial tax burden on UK households.
