Spring Budget 2023 Recap - Pension changes

One of the key measures of the Spring Budget was the announcement that the £40,000 cap on annual pension contributions will be increased by 50% to £60,000 from 6 April 2023. Tax relief for contributions to pension schemes is given at a taxpayer’s marginal rate of Income Tax and is subject to the increased underlying limits. Taxpayers will continue to access carry-forward, unused annual allowances for the last three tax years if they have made pension savings in those years.

A Recap On The Spring Budget 2023 Announcements.

Jeremy Hunt delivered his first Spring Budget today, referring to it as a ‘Budget for Growth.’
The first part of the speech as usual dealt with the economic background and forecasts on which the budget has been based. According to the Chancellor the most recent forecast is that although the economy will not grow this year, it is likely that a technical recession will be avoided. It is expected that the rate of inflation will fall to 2.9% by the end of the year, and the Bank of England will continue to focus their interest rate policy on targeting a long-time inflation rate of 2%.
