Self-assessed tax revenues were nearly £6bn more than planned for and capital gains tax receipts surged.

Not unless "the Chrimbo period" was in January or the New Year…
From the quote (and the linked Sky article)
Quote:
Retail sales saw a far better than expected January, increasing by 1.8% . It was the largest increase since May 2024.This data gave "further evidence that economic growth picked up smartly in the New Year as budget uncertainty fades", Pantheon's chief UK economist Rob Wood said.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said it was the highest surplus in any month since records began in 1993, without adjusting for inflation, and nearly double last January's £15.4bn surplus.
