As per estimations, this will affect \u00a34.4 million individuals in 2024-25, with the average loss of those affected at around \u00a3155.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Individual savings accounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The government is freezing Individual Savings Accounts (ISA) limits at \u00a320,000, Junior Individual Savings Accounts at \u00a39000, Lifetime Individual Savings Accounts at \u00a34,000 excluding the government bonus, and Child Trust Funds at \u00a39,000 for the tax year 2024-25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But starting in April 2024, many adjustments will be implemented to permit multiple yearly subscriptions to identical-type ISAs and partial ISA money transfers between providers within the same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Pension tax limits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The government has made numerous changes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.experlu.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-minimise-your-pensions-tax-bill\/\">tax regimes for pensions<\/a> for 2023-24, which will remain the same for 2024-25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Annual Allowance (AA) will remain at \u00a360,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Individuals having threshold income for a tax year of over \u00a3200,000 will have their Annual Allowance for that tax year restricted.

This means that a worker on a salary of \u00a350,000 can expect to save over \u00a3748 a year.

It means for the first year of a qualifying veteran&#8217;s employment in a civilian role, employers will continue to pay no employer NICs up to yearly earnings of \u00a350,270.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The government has announced higher rates for the NLW (National Living Wage) and National Minimum Wage, which will take effect in April 2024 by fully embracing the Low Pay Commission&#8217;s proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting in April 2024, individuals aged 21 and 22 will be eligible for the NLW. Beginning on 1 April 2024, it will increase to \u00a311.44; for individuals between 18 and 20, the NLW rate will be \u00a38.60; for 16-17, it will be \u00a36.40; and the apprenticeship rate will be \u00a36.40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first year of apprenticeship, apprentices under 19 and those over 19 are subjected to the apprenticeship rate.

Both of these allowances will now be permanent as declared by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u00a31 million <a href=\"https:\/\/www.experlu.co.uk\/blog\/annual-investment-allowance\/\">Annual Investment Allowance<\/a> is still available, providing a 100% write-off on specific types of machinery and plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Research and Development (R&amp;D)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The current SME and Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC) programs will combine with claims for expenses incurred in the accounting period starting on or after 1 April 2024, made under the combined scheme. The rate under this merged scheme will remain fixed at its existing RDEC rate of 20%. Loss-making companies under the combined plan will see a reduction in their notional tax rate from 25% to 19%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;With a few exceptions, R&amp;D claimants can no longer designate a third-party payee for R&amp;D tax credit payments under the new regime, which will take effect in April 2024. Further, beginning 22 November 2023, there will be no more R&amp;D tax credit assignments. This means that, in most cases, R&amp;D tax relief payments will go straight to the company making the R&amp;D claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Corporation tax rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to official government confirmation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.experlu.co.uk\/blog\/corporation-tax-rate-increases-in-april-2023\/\">corporate tax rates<\/a> will not change. This implies that starting in April 2024, the rate for businesses with profits above \u00a3250,000 will remain at 25%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For businesses with profits of \u00a350,000 or less, the 19% small profits rate will apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary rate of taxation will be gradually increased by a marginal relief for companies (26.5%) with profits between \u00a350,001 and \u00a3250,000, resulting in a progressive increase in the effective corporation tax rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>VAT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The threshold levels for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.experlu.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-make-vat-registration-online-in-the-uk-a-startup-owners-guide\/\">VAT registration<\/a> and deregistration will remain at \u00a385,000 and \u00a383,000, respectively, for a further two years starting on 1 April 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, as of 1 January 2024, the government will include reusable period underwear in the present VAT zero rate relief on women&#8217;s sanitary products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Other business measures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A few other business measures have also been announced in the Autumn Statement 2023, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Making cash basis of accounting the default system for self-employed individuals and giving them an option of accruals basis accounting along with certain technical changes to the regime<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introducing changes to strengthen the Construction Industry Scheme from April 2024<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-vivid-purple-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Capital taxes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This part of the Autumn Statement 2023 highlights capital gains and inheritance tax reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Capital gains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to government declarations, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.experlu.co.uk\/blog\/how-long-do-you-have-to-live-in-a-property-to-avoid-capital-gains-tax-the-uk\/\">capital gains tax<\/a> annual exemption amount will be lowered to \u00a33,000 from its existing amount of \u00a36,000 in April 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Inheritance tax<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Until April 2028, the inheritance tax nil-rate bands will remain unchanged at their existing levels.
