West Cornwall MP Andrew George welcomed the new tax threshold
"We have always believed that the priority should be cutting taxes for working people and lifting the poorest out of paying Income Tax altogether," he said. "This was our top priority at the General Election and I am delighted that the threshold has now been raised to £10,000."
As part of the rise, Chancellor George Osborne also said 2.7 million low income individuals under 65 would be lifted out of income tax altogether and from April 2014 the typical basic rate taxpayer would pay £705 less income tax a year in cash terms.
