IMF recommends UK not to cut taxes
- Fund says higher taxes needed to cover spending and lower debt
- Chancellor expected to cut taxes in bid for pre-election boost

The intervention from the Washington-based institution comes just over a month before Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government unveils what could be the last major fiscal event before a national election likely to be held later this year.
