The toughest package of tax increases and spending cuts in a generation is expected to be unveiled later by Chancellor George Osborne in his first Budget.
Almost 900,000 low earners will be taken out of the tax system in what Mr Osborne will say is a "tough but fair" deficit-cutting package.
The chancellor will argue that the better-off will pay more.
But Labour say the poorest will be hit and cuts are ideologically driven.
