Government Borrowing Plunges in December, But Still Above 2023 Levels

Government borrowing in the UK saw a significant decrease in December, according to the Office for National Statistics, driven by increased tax revenue and National Insurance contributions.

The rise in tax revenue reflects increases across income tax, corporation tax, VAT, and National Insurance, partly due to fiscal drag and changes to employer NIC rates.
