The chancellor reiterated that there would be no tax increases but would instead crack down on tax evasion.
She shared her plan to increase the number of tax evaders charged each year by 20%. She said that the total revenue raised from reducing tax evasion would reach £7.5bn.

According to the projections, net financial debt is expected to reach 82.9% of GDP in 2025/26 and 83.5% in 2026/27, before declining to 82.7% by 2029-30.
This creates a £15.1bn buffer in the final year of the forecast.
