Government Borrowing Plunges as Receipts Surge: December Figures

Government borrowing in the UK experienced a significant decrease in December, totaling £11.6 billion, according to the Office for National Statistics. This reduction of £7.1 billion compared to the previous year is attributed to increased tax revenue and National Insurance contributions, although borrowing remains above pre-2023 levels. The rise in tax revenue reflects increases across income tax, corporation tax, VAT, and National Insurance, partly due to frozen income tax thresholds and changes to employer NIC rates.
