Background
A surprise wealth tax could discourage investments & entrepreneurship at a time when the UK needs private sector confidence.Individuals have already paid income tax,capital gains tax,inheritance tax,and other levies — a further one-off charge would amount to double taxation.Sudden fiscal shocks risk driving capital and business abroad,reducing tax receipts in the long term and further deficit in the budget.Transparent,consultative policy-making builds trust in government and markets alike.
