Income Tax: Wales
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions she has had with the Welsh Government on the impact of the income tax threshold freeze on Welsh Rates of Income Tax revenues.
Answered by Dan Tomlinson
The previous Government made the decision to maintain income tax thresholds at their current levels from April 2021 until April 2028
As agreed between the UK and Welsh Governments, under the existing fiscal framework, the Welsh Government is responsible for 10p in income tax rates, whilst income tax thresholds in Wales remain reserved to the UK Government.
The UK Government has regular discussions with the Welsh Government on their fiscal framework, including the impact of UK Government tax policy changes.
