UK’s Sunak looking to delay tax rises – The Times By Reuters

(Reuters) – British finance minister Rishi Sunak is expected to lay aside plans for tax rises in his March budget, The Times newspaper reported on Friday, citing a senior government source.

The source said it was the “wrong time” for tax rises and they were likely to be shelved until the autumn at the earliest, the newspaper reported, adding that Sunak has also rejected calls to extend the stamp duty holiday.
