Background
We think this would give more people money in their pockets to pay their bills and rely less on government help. This could also mean more money being spent so more VAT in the governments pocket too. We are currently suffering fiscal drag because of this and the previous government chose to freeze thresholds but we think this is a stealth tax. As we pay more for goods, our tax free allowance stays the same meaning we're getting poorer.
