Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Budget 2024 means for you

Does anyone know for the first time buyer stamp duty, if its the amount over the £300,000 or once you reach £300,000 its the whole amount?

So Money taken from hard working self employed....to ppl who dont work and claim benifit all thier lifes

I honestly don't understand why any government hasn't fixed the way child tax credits are calculated. Theoretically a couple earning £49'500 each can get the full benefit but a couple where only one parent works and earns £51'000 will start to lose it is just archaiac and flawed. Genuinly, are the voting public apposed to fixing this? Because if not, it's a democracy… fix the blinking thing already!!

Same story as ever really, give a little with one hand, take more with the other.

Thanks for the update, its seems every measure has been put in place to ensure the poor stay poor and cannot get a hand up anymore.

Why do we pay more on stamp duty than Muslims??? Why don't we pay the same ????

Thank you so much Martin broke it all down very well ❤❤❤❤

The politicians would be wasting money on unnecessary stuffs and pocket the rest and taxpayers have to deal with it

I can never understand how the 'British' people just keep silent, while they, the taxpayers, are systematically dismantled, financially.

To be honest it's not fair to pay taxes for service charge ,customer ay Tax and service charge in restaurant,and employees also pay tax for it and it's considered us second job using different tax code🥹,really I love uk ,I work hard and much but I still can't save nothing,and my pension saving , this monthly pension money taking from my wages every month and if I need to take them I have to y tax for them ,holding and no benifit at the end of the life I'm now 58 my all hard work vanish ,I don't like the way "we invest your money maybe increass or No maybe you'll have less money or nothing 😇,it's very confusing and it's nothing poor o Ed can do with it ,just working and working and then dying

Who voted for labour?

What it means is you were lied to be the labour party who promised not to raise taxes !!!!

Our property roughly estimated value is around £750K and i live here with my brother, sister, one other and my brothers dad, so when he dies, he leaves everything to his son and then that would make us all homeless? (we don't want to sell, it's our home, but his death would bring government demons to our door demading 40% of 750K right?)

The UK has lost, we are just spiralling down further and further, I see a brain drain, followed by businesses leaving and high earners leaving. Country of benefits rewarding the lazy, while punishing the hard workers. I'm getting my Masters and leaving by 2030.

Martin, thank you! We need more people like you in the world—working for the people and not against them. Please continue your good work, as the government has failed us all.

They should stop pissing money up the wall before tax rises. Do the imbeciles not understand that raises such as employers NI filter down to the worker eventually. That 3% payrise you wanted next year is now gunna be 1%

Employees & consumers, get ready.

Thanks Martin and Money Saving, covered everything, articulate and concise

High Tax
High borrowing
High spending
High debt
means nothing more than Job losses.
Employers will simply pass on the NI cost to employees. Running a business is going to be more expensive. They will cut back on hours , cut jobs and not hire any more staff. Not to mention businesses not having any more money to invest in their own business.
The markets are horrified at the amount of borrowing at an extra 150 billion pounds not to mention the fact that we are going to have to spend 100 billion pounds just to service our debt every year.
This is an irresponsible budget and a recipe for disaster for growth, jobs and the economy.
Are you economically illiterate?
what a perfect recipe for a recession and a great depression.
Coupled with High energy bills this indeed is a disaster in the making.

If the NI goes up for employers, won't the number of people they can employ go down? Sounds like a dog chasing it's own tail to me.

You blew your credibility with your bad 'solution' to winter fuel cuts. I wouldn't trust anything you say ever after that. You really need to get off media and look at what you got so wrong.

We are being destroyed by fiscal drag. When they don't raise tax brackets inline with inflation and wage growth, everyone pays an increased proportion of their income in tax. They have raised taxes, they just do it in a way that most people don't realise or understand. Slimy.

Martin for pm. Real guy

Government snitch ! He's the secret millionaire scamming everyone ?

Martin Lewis is the world’s greatest con artist for the poor.

It means Nothing to Men and women

1 question for Martin How does Fiat IOU,s pay anything how can debt pay debt ?

Forced Disappearances, Abduction, extra-judicial killings by Agencies, Police Pakistan Has become endemic - Latest, A prominent lawyer, Advocate Intezar Panjutha has now been missing for over 19 days. Highest Law Officer of the Land, Attorney General assured the High Court that he will traced in 24 hours.

We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2024, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680,000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.

I'm going on benefits, I'll have more money. State pension is a joke as well

It now costs me (my company) £10,000 in SDLT to buy the cheapest derelict un mortgageable house in my area. It’s not a 2nd home, it’s a sh1thole that I would buy to renovate and sell for a small profit. Enough to pay my wages and that of many tradesmen.

Then you have the council charging double, sometimes triple council tax whilst you’re carrying out the renovation. I’m now done with this, those houses can sit and rot!

Your brilliant Martin love watching you and being on the peoples side, also explaining so simple so everyone understands. Thank you so much💯

So all good then.

All this will do raising national insurance cost to employers will make employee's redundant and they stop employing more employees

Is carers counted on pre or post tax

Labour lied to us. That's a surprise! But not to us voters born before 1984,we remember Tony Blair, the biggest disaster to happen to Europe since the second World War. Huge spending plans, that we are going to have to pay for. Unless they backtrack on the farmers well be witnessing the decline of food production in the UK. Have they learnt nothing from Ukraine.? Their prediction, in 5 years you'll have £13 more a week in your pocket.

I'm favoured financially with Bitcoin ETFs approval, Thank you buddy.$28,600 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.

They can't fool us saying they ain't got money from this budget it's clear to me they are robbing everyone.

Businesses will not employ more staff. It's a simple as that. Growth will not happen. Same old Labour. 1976 here we come.

I think the income tax threshold freeze is the biggest con! "We're not putting tax up, oh, but we're going to charge you more tax". Sneaky and quite nasty as it affects lowest earners more. New minimum wage is a 6.73% rise. For 37.5 hours a week annual take home would go up from £20,360 to £21,561.60, a 5.9% increase. But because the threshold doesn't get a similar rise, tax would go up from £1,947.60 to £2,247.90 which is a whopping 15.4% increase!

The government is simultaneously allowing oil companies to run us blind and increasing taxes in u.s. WHO DO THE GOVERNMENT WORK FOR?!?!?!??

So benefit scrounges and NI avoiders get a bump up while the worker pays More and more for less and less

Why they couldn't be creative about the IHT for farmers I don't know. If they were worried about big organisations buying land to avoid IHT..why didn't they just set the level of agricultural activity required per acre and anyone not achieving say 60% -70 % of crop expectation over a period of time, has to pay stamp duty. That will avoid land banking to avoid IHT and not using land procuctively as a food producing farm. Still thinking outside of the box of their ideology is not a strong point with Labour who just love to tax then spend and waste money.

Thank you for your service Martin 🫡

Worth to mention if someone claims Carers Allowance & the person they care for lives alone, that person will loose their SDP (severe disability premium ) so...tread carefully !

It means we all been screwed lol what a stupid question

Don't wait until the time of warning is over. Like the people that ignored Moses until the waters started rising. Do these things now:

1) Take hold of Yeshua the Messiah as your salvation

2) learn what The Most High considers love according to his word. Learn his laws of how to love him, and how to love others (Leviticus-Deuteronomy)

3) evaluate your life and apologize for the imperfect things you've done that violate his laws to love, and don't do them again. This is the meaning of repent.

4) repeat this process on a regular basis, constantly evaluating yourself. And urge others to do the same.

May The Most High God bless you and keep you, may The Most High make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Most high lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. In the name of Yeshua our Messiah, the Prince of peace. Amen, HalleluYah.
