Taxing Futures

Figure 15 demonstrates that reduced economic activity arising from APR changes will lead to a net fiscal loss of £13m. The Government expects a £387m uplift in tax receipts but the analysis indicates this will be nullified by a £400m lowering in receipts as activity declines elsewhere in the economy. In line with the fiscal impacts of removing BPR, the largest fiscal losses are front-loaded to 2024/25.
