The Government’s priority is to support the economy through the immediate crisis. The Government has taken unprecedented steps to keep as many people as possible in their existing jobs, support viable businesses and protect the incomes of the most vulnerable. These measures aim to protect the productive capacity of the economy, and to enable a strong and sustainable recovery from this crisis. The Government will continue to keep all taxes under review.
