Income Tax: Pendle

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people in Pendle constituency had their income tax reduced as a result of personal allowance increases since May 2010.

Answer

By the tax year beginning April 2017 this Government's increases in the personal allowance (for those born after 5 April 1948) are forecast to have reduced the income tax liability of 27.2 million individuals in the UK. It is forecast that 2.9 million of them live in the North West and Merseyside region, which includes the Parliamentary Constituency of Pendle.

These forecasts are based on the 2012-13 Survey of Personal Incomes, projected to 2017-18 using economic assumptions consistent with the Office for Budget Responsibility’s March 2015 economic and fiscal outlook.

HM Treasury does not publish this information at constituency level.
