Uk S 10 Inflation Calls Into Question Truss And Sunak S Tax Cut Promises Inflation

After news that the government’s preferred measure of the cost of living rose 10.1% in the year to July, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said higher inflation would mean extra spending on social benefits, state pensions and on debt interest. The result of five times higher inflation than a year earlier would be weaker public finances, making it harder for either candidate to replace Boris Johnson to meet their tax commitments, the IFS said.

Truss, the front-runner to be the next prime minister, has said she will reverse the rise in national insurance contributions and not go ahead with a planned rise in corporation tax next year – with her package estimated to cost £30bn. Sunak has said he will cut taxes, but only when inflation comes back under control. However, the IFS said that in the next financial year – 2023–2024 – borrowing was likely to rise by £23bn because the government would need to upgrade benefits and pensions in line with a higher rate of inflation at a cost of £4bn and also to pay £54bn in higher debt interest on inflation-linked bonds. Spending increases will only be partially offset by a £34bn increase in tax revenue as a result of rising inflation. The thinktank said there would be additional pressures, possibly tens of billions of pounds, to continue supporting households struggling with higher energy bills and to compensate public services for the impact of higher-than-expected inflation. In a new report published today, the IFS said Truss and Sunak needed to acknowledge the even greater than usual uncertainty in public finances. Pressures on public services would be more intense, higher-than-planned spending seemed “inevitable” and tax revenues would depend on the length and depth of the recession Threadneedle Street predicts. The thinktank said that additional public borrowing in the short term is not necessarily a problem – and may be appropriate to fund targeted support, but large permanent tax cuts on the scale sought during the Tory party’s infighting would “exacerbate already substantial pressures ” to the audience. finances, unless corresponding spending cuts were also implemented. In fact, “significant” spending increases are likely to be needed in the face of high inflation, he added. Carl Emmerson, deputy director of the IFS and author of the report, said: “The reality is that the UK has become poorer over the last year. This makes tax and spending decisions even more difficult. It is difficult to support the promises made by both Ms. Truss and Mr. Sunak to cut taxes in the medium term, with the absence of concrete measures to reduce public spending and the supposed desire for responsible management of the country’s finances.” Sunak’s campaign responded by saying the IFS analysis “leads a coach and horses” to his opponent’s proposals and that it “consistently argues that permanent, unfunded tax cuts would cause significant damage to public finances and push inflation higher.” . The Bank of England expects inflation to fall sharply next year after peaking at more than 13% in October.
