The Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak is expected to raise £2.04bn from freezing or maintaining IHT thresholds, the Lifetime Allowance and Capital Gains Tax by 2025/26.
According to the Budget 2021 policy costing document, Sunak forecasts to raise an extra £985m from freezing IHT bands by 2025/26. Another £990m is expected to be raised from freezing the Pension Lifetime Allowance until 2025/26, and maintaining the annual exemption on CGT will bring in an estimated £65m by 2025/26.
Andrew Tully, technical director at Canada Life commented: “By freezing or maintaining thresholds, the Treasury can expect to bring in over £2 billion in stealth taxes over the next five years. With property prices and investment markets rising, it’s clear that more and more people are going to be caught out by these taxes.
"These eyewatering sums will inevitably fund some of the significant spending pledges announced today.”
