🌟 Key Highlights from the UK Autumn Budget 2024 🌟
The Autumn Budget 2024, announced on October 30 by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, includes measures to support economic stability, growth, and household resilience. Here’s a quick breakdown of the key changes:
🔹 National Insurance Contributions (NIC)
Employer NIC will rise by 1.2 percentage points starting April 2025, bringing the rate to 15%.
The Employment Allowance will increase to £10,500, helping eligible employers by reducing NIC costs.
🔹 Stamp Duty on Additional Properties
Stamp Duty for additional properties will increase, with higher rates rising from 3% to 5% for purchases after October 31, 2024, aimed at stabilizing housing availability and supporting fair contributions from buy-to-let and second-home buyers.
🔹 National Living Wage Increase
The National Living Wage is set to increase to £12.21 per hour starting April 2025, providing a substantial boost for those aged 21 and over to better support the cost of living.
🔹 VAT Adjustments for Private Schools
Beginning January 2025, VAT will apply to most private school fees, with select exemptions, contributing to a more balanced approach to educational funding.
🔹 Crypto Reporting Framework
From 2026, crypto exchanges will be required to report user transactions under the OECD Cryptoasset Reporting Framework, enhancing tax compliance and transparency within the digital asset sector.
