The increase in personal allowance to £11,850 and higher rate threshold to £46,350 will come in as previously announced in April 2018. Corporation tax stays at 19% and is still planned to reduce to 17% from April 2020. Stamp duty relief for first time buyers will be very helpful. Certainly no give-aways for higher rate taxpayers, but we were hardly expecting that!
The only genuine increase that I could spot is the abolition of capital gains tax indexation relief for companies which allows them to avoid paying tax on inflationary gains on assets such as property, which is fair enough as it levels the playing field between companies and individuals.
