The previous Government made the decision to maintain income tax thresholds at their current levels from April 2021 until April 2028.

The number of people forecast to pay tax by marginal rate can be found in Table 3.19 in the OBR’s November 2025 Economic and fiscal outlook – detailed forecast tables: receipts, linked below:
