Budget increases British taxes to fund defence plan
Chancellor Neville Chamberlain presented a 3.99 billion pound defense budget to the House of Commons on Tuesday, raising the basic income tax rate from 22 1 2 to 23 3 4 percent. Married exemptions rise slightly as the government draws 5.25 million pounds from the road fund and contemplates long term borrowing, warning of the cost of the largest defense program in history. The plan aims for a revenue surplus despite higher duties and taxes amid an eagerly awaited, hour long budget speech.
