Public sector net borrowing of £18.3 billion in August provides another reminder of the fiscal straightjacket facing the Government ahead of the 28 October Budget.
Borrowing remains stubbornly high despite the fact the UK already has an historically heavy tax burden. Taxes will absorb around 37% of national income by the end of this financial year and, based on OBR forecasts, will reach a record 38.5% by 2030/31. The last time the tax burden was this high was in the early 1980s, while today’s overall tax receipts are among the highest seen the late 1940’s.
