Planet Holyrood 26/11/25 | Two child benefit cap axed, cash for Holyrood and gambling tax explained in our Budget special
Update: 2025-11-26
Description
Around 20,000 Scots children are set to be lifted out of poverty after the Chancellor scrapped the “heinous” two child benefit cap. MPs were also told an extra £820 million will be allocated to Scotland under the Budget plans.
Low-carbon technologies in Grangemouth, where Scotland's last oil refinery closed earlier this year, will receive £14 million backing, pension contributions above an annual £2,000 threshold will no longer be exempt from national insurance from April 2029 and a hike in duties paid by online gambling firms will raise an extra £1 billion for the Treasury.
