Spring Budget 2009
Please click here to download our Budget review covering the key points of Alastair Darling’s second Budget. Against the background of a global economic crisis and rapidly increasing government borrowing, Mr Darling approved several significant tax changes, some of which had been trailed in last November’s Pre-Budget Report.
This year there were over 90 supporting notes with the Budget, demonstrating how many changes need consideration. The most eye-catching of these were:
- A new 50% rate of income tax on income over £150,000 from 2010/11.
- The phasing out of personal allowances for those with income over £100,000, again from 2010/11.
- Restrictions on higher rate income tax relief for pension contributions for people with income over £150,000.
- A temporary 40% first year capital allowance for businesses.
- An increase in the ISA contribution limit to £10,200.
