Getting Rid Of The Tax Anomalies - Richard Murphy - The Next Labour Government Should Do Everything Suggested In This Video

16th June 2024

The UK tax system is riddled with tax anomalies - or tax spillovers as I prefer to call them. Any politician who is serious about making the tax system work better should be aiming to get rid of them - but none are saying that's their plan.

Comment
My people know the system is unfair but because they do not understand how the tax system works they do nothing to pressure the politicians to make the changes. Large parts of the tax system favour the well-off in society as their friends set it up with changes here and there over many decades.
Thee are several things that can be done to change the tax system and get the money required for our services.
