By the end of 2020 it will rise to £12,500.

Hammond said that the higher rate threshold will increase to £50,000 by 2020.

  • An end to some salary sacrifice perks

The Chancellor announced plans to scale back "unfair" salary sacrifice schemes.

Exceptions include:

  • ultra-low emission cars

  • pensions saving

  • childcare

  • cycle to work scheme

He said that some long-term arrangements will be protected until April 2021.

  • Insurance premium tax to rise

The Chancellor announced a 2% hike in insurance premium tax from June.This will see families paying 12% for car and home insurance.

He said the revenue would fund increased spending commitments.

  • Relaxations to Universal Credit

Hammond has announced that the three million British families benefiting from Universal Credit will see the taper rate - the speed at which their benefits are withdrawn when they start earning - reduced from 65% to 63%.

But critics said the UC reform failed to compensate for the losses low-paid workers will face from previously-announced cuts.

  • Fuel duty freeze

Motorists will benefit from the decision to freeze fuel duty for the seventh year in a row.

Motoring campaigners said the decision was a relief for motorists and businesses.
