The PM's pledge comes a day after Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said he was unsure whether the government could afford to slash taxes further. The tax burden is expected to rise to the highest level since the Second World War by the end of the decade.
The country will be “rewarded” with tax cuts if the government is able to make it harder for people to claim out of work and sick benefits, according to the prime minister.
Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, the prime minister sought to create a clear contrast between the Conservatives and Labour as campaigning begins.
While Mr Sunak insisted his priority is cutting taxes, he claimed that they would continue to rise if Sir Keir Starmer enters Downing Street.
The PM pointed to his recently announced cut to national insurance - which came into force yesterday - as evidence of the progress his government has made.
Elsewhere in the interview, the prime minister claimed Labour “doesn’t care” about reducing the number of small boats crossing the Channel.
Speaking to Sky News on Sunday morning, Sir Keir was unable to say which taxes he wants to cut - but instead wants to focus on those which impact upon “working people”.
