According to a report from The Telegraph, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak plans to implement tax cuts of up to 2 pence in the pound prior to the anticipated national

election in 2024. Although government officials believe that the country's inflation rate might not decline as quickly as expected, they remain confident that a tax reduction can still be implemented starting in April.

Sunak has expressed his intention to decrease taxes, but he has emphasized the importance of first addressing the fiscal deficit. Additionally, he has committed to halving the inflation rate within the current year. The Telegraph indicates that potential tax cuts could be implemented through the National Insurance social security system or personal income tax.

The Conservative Party, led by Sunak, currently trails behind the opposition Labour Party in opinion polls. Despite calls for increased public service spending, including healthcare, many Conservative lawmakers advocate for tax reductions. The report further mentions Sunak's aspiration to continue lowering income tax rates by 1 pence in each year of the following parliamentary term, aiming to solidify this pledge in the lead-up to the next election.
