Stephen Williams: Labour doesn’t understand the tax system

Cyhoeddwyd yn wreiddiol gan UK Liberal Democrats

"It is worrying that the two Eds don't understand the fundamental principles of our tax system, despite having worked in the Treasury for many years as Gordon Brown's backroom boys.

"It took them 13 years to introduce a 50p rate and then they only did so shortly before a general election. Now that the local elections are coming up, suddenly they care about it again and put down ill-thought through amendments that remove the top rate altogether.

"Labour's biggest tax change was to remove the 10p tax rate hitting people on low and middle incomes while Liberal Democrats are giving nearly 25m basic-rate tax payers an Income Tax cut and have lifted more than a million people out of paying Income Tax altogether. At the same time, we're making the rich pay their fair share by cracking down on loopholes and excessive tax relief."
