Scrap NI, scrap the tax free allowance
10% rate from 0-26k
good luck with that
wont get my vote... and I imagine a lot of people dont want a 2 grand pay reduction
Then you aren't going to get the money needed for the NHS and the UK will remain uncompetitive
I think we've established that the NHS is funded pretty well
Make it free for UK citizens tourists need insurance the same way we need to take it out when travelling
and continues to increase its funding beyond inflation
at unsustainable levels tbh
We've established no such thing
The consensus was it was chronically understaffed
And the staff underpaid making retention a problem
And corporations pay more tax these avoiders are at it, we need everyone paying what they should be i dont think anyone in here gets away with not paying their taxes or any self employed or small business so why should there be a rule for others
You will not significantly increase tax revenue by taking people out of tax
yet that is what has happened
the tories cut taxes and tax revenue has increased
proof is in the pudding
and now we're almost in a surplus... somehow... from a 100bn deficit
You're not in a surplus, tax revenue from corporation tax and higher rates increased in line with the laffer curve, but other revenue increases will come from reduced joblessness and increased population
even on income tax (because of cuts)
up on VAT
Why
dunno.. twitter hates tories?
also he dared to defend fact checkers
interesting... tax revenue went up almost exactly what the deficit was
that explains the increases in nhs spending
and why we are not quite yet into surplus
looks like scotland is losing pace https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/files/chart-images/Tax%20revenue%20by%20nation%20since%201999.png
Need to scrap VAT on fuel
the vat part is only 5% I think
17.5% on diesel and petrol
theres all sorts of other taxes in fuel
sorry 20%
Either way, fuel isnt' a luxury, it's an essential, scrap VAT on it
depends on what you mean by fuel
heating oil, diesel, petrol, gas
your energy bill for your home is 5% vat
5% too much
More important to scrap VAT on fuel than to increase the tax-free allowance
