Tax is not fairly balanced between rich and poor because the rich do not pay sufficient tax on assets e.g. inheritance tax, second homes etc

Raise slightly but reduce tax loopholes and make it harder to evade and avoid tax. Also have non taxing means to encourage wealth to be reinvestes

No, but reduce loopholes and punish those who pay tax through shell businesses by fining them handsomly and giving jail time.

 @98BGDKHConservativeanswered…1yr1Y

 @98B7QJKanswered…1yr1Y

No, if people work hard and have good jobs they shouldn't be punished, this puts them off investing in the UK and spending to benefit our economy

 @8WF3V9Ganswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, however we need to define what "rich" is. Currently definition still hits the middle-class disproportionately.

 @9LJT4MRanswered…6 days6D

They should remove loopholes so everyone pays the correct amount/same percentage of their income regardless of where the income has come from

 @9LJNKRCGreenanswered…6 days6D

Lower income tax, particularly for the poor? and substantially increase sales tax, particularly for unhealthy activities.

Reform tax, increase tax free allowance, remove other allowances, same tax applies for all income and CGT

 @9LHDWQ7answered…1wk1W

Lower income tax across the board and introduce a range of taxes on asset ownership such as homes, second homes, land holding etc. on assets that cannot be moved out of the country. Also remove the distinction between tax evasion and avoidance and introduce licensing fees and huge penalties for organisations operating in the wealth management and tax planning industries if they facilitate exploitation of loop holes,

 @9LHBB2Gfrom British Columbia answered…1wk1W

Simplify the tax brackets, collapse NI into general taxation, look hard at capital gains avoidance of income tax, eliminate inheritance tax.

 @9LH6CS4answered…1wk1W

Increase tax for very high earners (more than 200k a year) Remove tax loopholes Introduce taxation on investment

 @9LGQ7KTanswered…1wk1W

Raise the lowest tax bracket to any earning above £25k. The highest should be raised to any earnings above £250k. Keep the others the same

 @9LG823Banswered…1wk1W

Taxes should be raised for all brackets slightly to improve infrastructure and soceity, but they should be raised significantly for richer brackets and all tax loop holes should be closed.

 @9LF2SMHanswered…2wks2W

Tax the rich. Close the loopholes. And stop squeezing the rest of us. Capital tax down from 12500 to 3000?thsts nothing 12500 tax allowance still blocked for few more years? Only a pound increase on minimum wage. It's not enough!

 @9LDBFKRanswered…2wks2W

Yes, but also remove tax loophole for large corporations, later down the line should be able to reduce tax for lower income families

 @9LCQQ7Xanswered…2wks2W

This depends on what you regard as rich... I think ensuring huge corporations are not operating in his country, failing to contribute and dodging tax is the real issue

 @9LCFXN6Animal Welfareanswered…2wks2W

Be like old dubai and encourage people to stay here because everyone wants to move out the weather doesnt help but you cant change that so change the way you run things

 @9LBG87Danswered…2wks2W

I believe that if you are very wealthy such as millions of pounds. You should give more back to the government in a way or National insurance and Tax's. The People that are on the lower system need more support which could include a lower rate to pay.

 @9L9SNFXanswered…2wks2W

Yes. tax wealth not income to be fairer, and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

 @9L7YD7Vanswered…3wks3W

add more tax bands to make the gaps between each band less, as well as adding additional bands for even higher incomes than the top of the tax band.

 @9L7L2P2answered…3wks3W

Make tax a flat rate so you pay only 1500 pound tax if you earn 20000 pound and then you pay an extra 1500 pound for every 10000 pound earned there after

 @9L5GDV6Conservativeanswered…3wks3W

A universal Tax you pay when you earn over a certain threshold A sales tax based on the harms caused by the products we buy A withholding tax to stop offshoring wealth

 @9L59HJNanswered…4wks4W

Yes, but not on income. Tax Land via a Land Value Tax, or implement a time limit on generational property just as we do with Intellectual property.

 @9L55P8Ganswered…4wks4W

Replace all taxes with a 100 percent Georgist Land Value Tax and Piguvian Taxes, and if it doesn't raise enough funds, implement the taxes that are least impactful on the economy first that are still progressive.

 @9L3LS96answered…4wks4W

No, lower tax for everyone. No one wants it and no one knows where it goes apart from Rishi to play manoplay with it

 @9L2VL38answered…4wks4W

Evaluate everyone’s circumstances in order for the best outcome - everyone is different some people need more help than others. Somewhat others that earn more should pay more due to gaining substantial amount of money from employees working for minimum wage

 @9KZJBCNanswered…1mo1MO

If the money they have is earned and not inherited then taxes should not be raised. Otherwise it should.

 @9KX2HS8answered…1mo1MO

No, income isn't how the rich earn money. A Wealth tax needs to be introduced to properly tax assets, income and dividends over 5M

 @9KWJX9T answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but there should be root and branch tax reform to make it simpler, fairer and more efficient. Earned and unearned income should not be taxed differently, personal allowances should be significantly increased, and a tax on wealth above a certain level should be introduced

 @9KVSY44answered…1mo1MO

This is a hard one because some people have good salaries with a single income so the other person can support the family home and tax penalises that, and some double income lower tax bracket families end up better off.

 @9KQKX43answered…1mo1MO

No, but make the tax a more personalised rate. The hardline tax levels do not benefit those hovering around them.

 @9KMWNXRLiberal Democratanswered…1mo1MO

Add an extra tax bracket and adjust the percentages and the salary thresholds so lower incomes pay less tax and the most rich pay more and also remove tax loopholes for businesses

 @9KLK3YZanswered…1mo1MO

Income tax is already high enough and should be reduced or remain the same- larger businesses should be taxed more and reduce loopholes.
