Are tax rises on the way after the spending review?
Rachel Reeves has set out the government's departmental budgets this afternoon in her long-awaited spending review.
While the funding announced today might not bring immediate changes to the money in your pocket, it could have an impact down the line - especially if the chancellor needs to raise cash by increasing taxes.
Watch her spending pledges below...
We won't know for certain about any tax changes until the autumn budget, which usually takes place in late October or early November (an official date hasn't been set yet).
But that doesn't mean that experts haven't already been predicting whether taxes will be raised - or benefits cut...
Tax rises or welfare cuts?
Laith Khalaf, head of investment analysis at AJ Bell, said the expansion of the winter fuel allowance, which you can read more about here, would likely be the biggest driver of any speculation on tax rises.
"Whether the chancellor will now have to raise more money in this year's budget, and how much that will be, won't be clear until nearer the time," he said.
"There's a lot of economic data to unfold between now and the budget, and better than expected economic growth, or looser monetary policy, could ride to the rescue.
"But equally, the fiscal position could deteriorate before the budget, leaving an even bigger black hole to be filled by tax rises or welfare cuts.
"Rachel Reeves will also have to find some money to continue the freeze on fuel duty, unless she wants to be the first chancellor since 2011 to hike the tax."
Khalaf said there was a "real risk" that pensions tax reform, especially around tax-free cash and tax relief, could return to the headlines.
'Tax rises all but inevitable'
Alison Ring, one of the directors at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, was almost certain that tax rises are coming due to bolstered defence and health spending.
"Tax rises are now all but inevitable... no matter what measures are taken between now and the autumn budget," she said.
"The government's sticking plaster strategy remains an obstacle to addressing the deep-set challenges facing the country. The perilous state of the country's public finances has left Rachel Reeves with little room for manoeuvre."
There have been strong suggestions that there will be rises in council tax in the future to boost local authorities' spending power to help deliver "renewal" projects in 350 communities.
What has the government said?
Speaking to Sky News after the spending review, Darren Jones, the chief secretary to the Treasury, said the argument that tax rises would come in the future is "incoherent".
"This spending review is allocating the money that we have already raised," he said.
The money had been brought in at the budget last year and the spring statement this year, he claimed.
