New UK laws in 2025 including vape ban, tourist charge and tax changes

The article from MSN outlines several new laws and changes set to take effect in the UK in 2025. Key points include a ban on disposable vapes to reduce environmental impact and prevent youth vaping, with the legislation expected to be implemented by April 2025. Additionally, there will be a new tourist tax where non-EU visitors will no longer receive a VAT refund on purchases, aiming to raise revenue for the government. Tax changes are also on the horizon, with adjustments to National Insurance contributions, potential changes to income tax thresholds, and the introduction of a new tax on vaping products. Furthermore, there are plans to increase the minimum wage, introduce a new energy price cap, and possibly reform the state pension system. These changes reflect the government's efforts to address environmental concerns, boost public finances, and adjust economic policies in response to current economic conditions.
