In the 2025 Budget, the government announced new policies that raise £2.4 billion in additional tax revenue from closing the tax gap in 2029-30. This brings the total revenue from closing the tax gap announced this Parliament to £10 billion in 2029-30.


The Chancellor makes decisions on tax policy at fiscal events, and does not routinely comment on proposals.
