48 APRIL 2016 PRO INSTALLER PRO MOTORING www.proinstaller.co.uk BUDGET WILL SAVE DRIVERS £270 A YEAR Chancellor George Osborne has pledged to save small business drivers £270 a year after fuel duty was frozen for the sixth year in a row in the 2016 Budget. Other key transport points were that new rail lines including Crossrail 2 in London and the HS3 link between Manchester and Leeds got the green light, with £230m earmarked for road improvements in the north of England. Tolls on Severn River crossings are also due to be halved by 2018. The Chancellor delivered the Budget in the House of Commons and forecast growth of 2% for 2016, down from 2.4% in November’s Autumn Statement. He also forecast a million jobs to be created by 2020. Inflation of 0.7% was predicted for 2016, and the headline rate of corporation tax was set to fall from 20% to 17% by 2020. The annual threshold for small business tax relief was to be raised from £6,000 to £15,000. The supplementary charge for oil and gas producers was to be halved from 20% to 10%. Anti-tax avoidance and evasion measures would raise £12bn by 2020, with £9bn to be raised by closing corporate tax loopholes and tax minimisation scheme. Capital gains tax was to be cut from 18% to just 10% for basic rate tax payers, while £700 million was being set aside for flood defence schemes.
