The rise after the fall

Published: 18 November 2008
Ministers have admitted that taxes will have to be increased in the aftermath of next week's expected tax cuts, it has been widely reported.
Gordon Brown has recently hinted that any tax cuts unveiled in next week's pre-Budget report would be temporary measures before borrowing got back on track in the medium term.
Similar comments made by business secretary Peter Mandelson resulted in David Cameron - leader of the Conservative party - alleging there would soon be a tax "bombshell".
"Borrowing £30 billion now will mean an income tax bill for the average earner of nearly £1,500 later. Everyone knows the prime minister is planning a Christmas tax giveaway. But tax cuts should be for life - not just for Christmas," he said in the House of Commons.
However, the prime minister argued that the UK's economic downturn would be less deep and prolonged if action was taken.
Meanwhile, the Consumer Price Index for October fell to 4.5 per cent - down from September's 16-year high of 5.2 per cent.
