UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has reiterated his commitment to Labour's manifesto pledge not to increase income tax, National Insurance contributions (NICs), or value-added tax (VAT). During Prime Minister's Questions, Starmer confirmed that the government will adhere to these promises. However, he declined to rule out extending the current freeze on income tax and National Insurance thresholds, a policy originally introduced by the Conservative government that results in fiscal drag by pushing millions into higher tax brackets. This freeze is currently set to expire in April. Additionally, Starmer did not rule out the possibility of introducing a wealth tax when questioned by Conservative MP Kemi Badenoch, although he did not provide further details or commitments on this issue. The Prime Minister's responses indicate a cautious approach to tax policy amid pressures to increase tax revenues.
