These assessments are *extremely* sensitive to the forecast for GDP growth. But under the Barclays economic forecast, we'd be missing the debt rule by £17bn (more than the amount by which we'd be missing the borrowing rule). Cutting/reprofiling capital spending plans could help to meet this.

Options for tax increases | Institute for Fiscal Studies
If the Chancellor hopes to raise large sums from tax increases at the Budget, she should consider reforms that would make any increases less damaging.
