Last week Chancellor Jeremy Hunt revealed National Insurance would be reduced from 12% to 10% \u2013 worth \u00a310billion.<\/p>\n

This will save workers, on average, \u00a3450 a year.<\/p>\n

The PM told the Daily Express: \u201cHard work should pay. That\u2019s why the Chancellor just announced the biggest tax cuts at a fiscal event since the 1980s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will of course go further when we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Hunt said a temporary tax break allowing firms to cut their bills if they invest in new equipment would also be made permanent.<\/p>\n

Despite the earnings bonus, millions of workers will face a squeeze on their finances with the tax burden still set to hit a record high.<\/p>\n

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Laura Trott said: \u201cWe have set a direction of travel to grow the economy, to support businesses and to reward work.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we want to bring that tax burden down over time in a responsible way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are on average income, because of the changes we\u2019ve made, your tax burden will have gone down quite significantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have turned a corner, we are going to bring taxes down but we\u2019re going to do it in a non-inflationary way.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is expected to create thousands of new jobs in sectors such as tech, life sciences, renewables, housing and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The PM said: \u201cGlobal CEOs are right to back Britain \u2013 we are making this the best place in the world to invest and do business.\u201d<\/p>\n
