The Government has swapped a proposed tax cut for cheaper bus travel

Burnham’s personal allowance U-turn explained: What the government is offering instead

  • The Government has dropped plans to increase the personal tax-free allowance, citing pressure on the public finances.
  • Most bus fares in England will be capped at £2 from January 1, 2027.
  • Ministers say the measures are aimed at easing living costs, although questions remain over funding.

Anyone hoping for a higher personal tax-free allowance under prime minister Andy Burnham will have to wait.

After suggesting during the election campaign that raising the tax-free allowance was one of the issues raised most often by voters, Burnham has now ruled out the move, saying the UK's financial position makes it too expensive. Instead, the Government has announced that the £2 bus fare cap will return across most of England from January 1, 2027, positioning it as another measure to help households cope with the cost of living.
