A FINAL budget for Wales was passed in the Senedd yesterday ahead of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s Budget being set later today.
Welsh rates of income tax are estimated to raise over £3 billion in the next financial year and the Senedd agreed that Welsh taxpayers will continue to pay the same rates of income tax as people in England and Northern Ireland.
