- Higher-rate threshold — £50,270 freeze has pulled millions into 40% band via fiscal drag
- NIC rates — employee NIC currently 8%
- ISA allowance — £20,000/year; any British ISA add-on still under review
- Pension annual allowance — £60,000; lifetime allowance abolished in 2024
- SDLT — first-time buyer relief thresholds
- Fuel duty freeze — extended every year since 2011
