Helping taxpayers, backing businesses, securing a better future – that’s what this Budget is all about.

But don’t just take our word for it – here’s what independent experts and business groups are saying:

Our long-term economic plan

‘This Budget sets the tone, providing a clear plan for fiscal health and growth .’ - John Cridland, Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Director-General

Dealing with Britain’s debts

‘The Chancellor is showing long term economic responsibility in managing the national debt.’ - British Chamber of Commerce (BCC)

Helping savers and pensioners

‘ 95% of savers will no longer pay any tax on their savings. This is massive news.’ - Ros Altmann, pensions expert

‘It’s great news the Chancellor is liberalising the sale of annuities and improving the flexibility of ISA products.’ - Mark Littlewood, Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) Director-General

Our new Help to Buy ISA

‘Just heard about new Help to Buy ISA in the Budget – sounds like a great way to help first time buyers .’ - Paul Pester, CEO of TSB Bank

Freezing fuel duty for the fifth year in a row

‘ The cancellation of the planned increase to fuel duty will be welcomed , particularly amongst sole traders and small businesses.' - John Longworth, BCC Director-General

Backing businesses

‘Encouraging measures to help businesses create jobs for the benefit of all .’ - John Cridland, CBI Director-General

Cutting tax on beer

Britain is walking tall again. The economy is growing, the deficit is falling, and this Budget is backing hardworking taxpayers – as these quotes show.

Let’s keep the plan going – and secure a better future for you, your family and our country.

Our long-term economic plan is securing a better future for you, your family and Britain. SHARE to let friends know that we need to stick with the plan that's working.

We have a long-term plan that is working – building a healthier economy and securing a better future for Britain.

• A better future for our country, with a growing economy
• More people with the chance to get on in life, with record job numbers
• More security for the long-term, with the deficit down and our national debt starting to fall as a share of the economy

But we now face a critical choice. We can keep on working through the long-term economic plan that is delivering a better future for you, your family and Britain. Or we can return to the chaos of the past.

With this Budget we choose to secure a better future.

• Cutting income taxes for 27 million hardworking people, and cancelling Labour’s planned rise in fuel duty

• A new Help to Buy ISA for first time buyers – so if you save up to £12,000 towards a deposit on a home, the government will contribute up to £3,000

• Helping savers with a new Personal Savings Allowance, abolishing savings tax altogether for 17 million people to create tax free banking

• Committing to run a budget surplus and keep our debt share falling

• Backing business and skills that will create full employment, and supporting pubs and brewers by cutting tax on beer and cider

• Investing across the UK for a truly national recovery

These changes are all part of our long-term economic plan, and it’s critical we keep working through it.

That’s the simple choice voters face on May 7th: between the Conservatives, with our long-term economic plan that is working, or Labour, propped up by the SNP, who offer the chaos of the past.
