Britain’s Labour budget pleased the auto sector and general public but angered hotels and tourist interests. Chancellor Callaghan unveiled a payroll tax on service industries and a factory worker subsidy, aiming to shift labor from services to manufacturing to boost exports and support the pound. Expenditures are seen at 9.1 billion pounds with revenue near 9.8 billion pounds, while transport and public services are exempt from the tax and a 4 percent corporate tax was introduced.
