And Mr Osborne offered little in the way of direct stimulus to the economy. His budget gave away a few billion but will eventually raise as much through other measures. Yet through a handful of astute tweaks to the tax system, coupled with an "unwavering" commitment to cutting the deficit, the chancellor tried to send a strong signal that Britain is a profitable place to invest. The bravest measure was a cut in the top rate of income tax from 50% to 45% from next April; the costliest was a Pounds 1,100 ($1,745) increase in the personal tax-free allowance; and the signature measure was a further reduction in the main corporate-tax rate (see table). The other biggish cost to the exchequer was a partial U-turn on child benefit. This was to be taken away from families with a higher-rate tax payer, but will now be gradually withdrawn from those earning more than Pounds 50,000. These giveaways were paid for by raising other, smaller taxes--including higher stamp duty on extremely expensive homes--and by closing loopholes.
