Should the government raise taxes on the rich?

Lower the income tax rate for all earners

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

Lower the income tax for people earning more than 50,000-Should be 30% not 40%. Make the 40% when someone earns 150,000

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

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

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

No, remove all taxation

Tax increase to dynamic rich, asset rich but cash poor should be not taxed more. Increase VAT in luxury items.

make it fair for everyone , since humans don't even own earth i hate how we gotta PAY. to live under a roof.

raise tax on rich and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

no, but remove loop holes

Who defines rich? Hint: usually someone richer than the speaker.

yes increase the tax but on all brackets where the more you earn the greater the tax but always have tax on lower earners in context to cost of living

Tax should not be increased on the middle class. The top 1% should be taxed more

create new system to prevent those from becoming to rich

If people who make more are taxed more, then everyone will have virtually the same income and people who work harder will have the same as people who work less hard at the end of the day, so no

Tax the wealthy, Not the rich

Only if they are incredibly rich

Yes, and make tax rates depend only on wealth not income (10x richer, higher rate of income and capital gains tax etc.), so that people without inherited wealth but high income can catch up.

Align capital gains with income tax. Tackle fiscal drag within the taxy bracket. Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

Yes, but it should be a wealth tax rather than additional income taxes.

The tax system needs major reform, including removal of the 100k trap/wall

Yes, but only on the super rich, and tax unused land and wealth more, create a wealth tax for those with over £50 million in assets and close all loopholes for companies.

Increase the current thresholds and introduce higher percentage tax brackets than the current 50% tax on x amount

Yes, but only a land value tax and a betterment tax

I think we need more tax brackets and it should be mildly increase for very top brackets

do it based on pay bracket

Only higher taxes for the super wealthy

equalise capital gains and income tax

No but replace council tax with a land tax

In theory - but this cannot be accomplished simply by raising income tax

Yes, being the extremely rich (billionaires)

Yes but through taxes such as an increased mansion tax and a new, higher income tax bracket rather than a traditional income tax raise

There should be a new 50p rate of income tax on earnings over £1m PA but increase the thresholds of the rates below to catch up with the freezes that have happened.

make sure taxes are in line with other economic factors such as a recession and keep it all proportional so everyone pays the same % in taxes

a little more than usual

On the super rich yes. But the higher rate band is effecting normal people who are being forced into this band because the caps haven’t been raised.

Remove the inheritance and wealth tax, and lower income tax

tax everyone but me more

Seize assets like multiple homes and nationalise industries

Yes based on income for Rich

Making fines based on income + mildly increasing taxes

No, the government should be cutting spending in order to lower taxes for all tax brackets

Big corporations who make big profit from the UK markets should pay their due taxes here but I do think reduce the tax rate for them from 45% to somewhere between 25-35% and lower taxes for the general public too

Robin Hood tax on wealth

Raise tax threshold for middle income earners

People should pay less income tax, the brackets are wrong and need to be changed.

Keep the same tax rate but remove all loopholes for large companies

Tax wealth, not earnings

Taxing the rich is essential, but only those that are in the elite level of wealth through asset accumulation. Tax assets not work, someone who earns 200k a year should not be punished, but if they own a million pounds of assets that will likely accumulate by +20% a year, a small tax on these assets should be introduced to aid public spending and improve general living standards.

Yes however the tax free allowance should be increased and higher rate tax band decreased there should just be an increased tax on the extremely wealthy

Remove loopholes and tax ultra wealthy people 3% more and remove non dom

No but lower the tax brackets

I believe higher earners should pay more tax but not until you earn 80k plus a year

the rich should have higher taxes, the poor should have lower taxes and existing tax loopholes for large corporations should be removed

The rich should have no way to accumulate capital and all their wealth should go to the people, taxing merely takes what they make in a day anyway

Yes but only the extreme rich and keep the same or lower slightly for regular incomes

Yes but only the extreme rich, and keep the rest the same or lower

No, keep the current tax structure, abolish fiscal drag and remove all existing tax loopholes for corporations, Pty Ltd’s, LLP’s & Ltd companies.

The means of production should be centralised and money should be redistributed according to one’s needs and direct contributions

Tax the rich through capital gains not by raising taxes on all income brackets for everyone because that just hurts the middle class.

Complete tax system reform

Yes but only fairly- I think tax needs to be improved for the middle class

Yes, but only for rich foreigners

Yes, but only the top 0.1%

Taxing increase on the super rich

If by rich you mean the 1%, yes absolutely. If by rich you mean high earning middle class, no.

Tax the super wealthy more and not middle income earners

Yes, but not too much so that billionaires will move out of the country and harm the economy.

Increase the minimum tax allowance and add at least two additional tax brackets between the minimum and current "enhanced" band - such that 45% applies only to the highest earners, not people who earn a middle-class salary.

Tax wealth and capital more and income less or the same

Yes, but increase the salary threshold much higher than it is currently.

Yes but on the ultra rich, not those under 200k/year

Again only for people who earn over 80k

Yes, but only for people earning over 500K per year, and they need to raise the income threshold for the 40% and 45% tax brackets

Raise the tax threshold to £20,000 and higher rate to £100,000. Reduce higher rate to 30%. Add another layer at £250,000 and increase that to 50%>

Only the rich rich

No. Not everyone that is wealthy is from wrongdoing or benefits of business enterprise. We as a family have worked hard for our money and have made good financial decisions, so we are financially stable and maybe better off than others. But why should we be penalised for making good decisions for the ones that make bad choices and don’t do well with their money- in having the same opportunities.

Move to taxing wealth rather than income.

Only on the super rich, eg individuals earning over a million a year

remove existing tax loopholes so everyone pays what they should

review tax bracket

Yes but the rich need to be considered more like millionaires. Super taxing people who are earning a decent 5 figure wage is greedy

Only raise tax on the super rich, not people who are working so hard and end up meeting the boarder line of rich for them to have more money taken away

Increase top earner income tax rates and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

define rich ... earing 170K a year is a lot biut shouldnt be taxed the same as someone who earns millions. So tax the super rich better (and remove loopholes)

I think they need to rethink the 40% tax on earnings over £50k! It should be raised as no one can afford to live off that
