Should the government raise taxes on the rich?

Raise it for very wealthy and reform where the brackets hit, tax avoidance by very wealthy and corporate should be tightened like for paye earners

Define what is rich? I believe that working class people should keep more of there income as this will give working class people money to actually spend. the 40% bracket needs to be raised to £6000.

Yes, but more on the super rich, not those who are just living a comfortable life. Those that live without worrying about money.

Close loopholes, and introduce taxes against hoarding wealth rather than increasing taxes targeting PAYE earners

Tax shareholders and debt brackets because the rich don't have incomes like the middle class. And implement a progressive tax bracket.

Government should in the long term lower tax once public services are functioning. In the short term however we should introduce a tax flat of 1% on any earning of £250k or over

Add an optional tax for public services improvement but provide evidenced information of how thos is used

Increase taxes and in turn invest more in public services and transport (making public transport cheaper for example

Only for the highest band and lower the middle bracket. To cover the cost of living people must be able to earn £50k + a year and not be penalised

Increase tax on the rich, decrease tax on the poor, close loopholes and tax individuals who leave the country to tax havens for a decade to ensure that the money the produce comes back to the uk economy.

The government should calibrate income tax to maximise Government revenue while not stifling growth and productivity.

Yes for large corporations + anyone earning over £250,000 per year. No for anything else, or lower for everyone else.

Add more for the very rich and stop squeezing the middle earners who are just into the 40% tax bracket.

For people who have bettered themselves educationally and morally, i.e. surgeons- should NOT be taxed more than they already are. Whereas, the likes of celebrities, footballers etc. who have offshore accounts etc. SHOULD be taxed far more.

"Rich" is poorly defined. What is rich in one area of the country is not rich in another. Those in the top 1% income bracket (including inherited wealth and assets) should pay more.

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

Raise taxes on the rich but lower for Lower-middle and working classes

No, but rather add on a tax for large corporations and try to iron out any loopholes

Everyone should pay the same % of tax . Anyone not paying ie 25% they should then be punished with prison if necessary. It’s obscene that single mums are paying more than billionaires!

Yes, taxes should be higher for individuals but not on companies as this could potentially drive businesses from the UK.

Yes, but not on middle income families. There should be more tax tiers with a higher tax rate starting higher but with more increments and a higher tax for those earning over 150k

Yes, but define rich correctly. Increase tax on the wealthy, generational wealth, owners of acres of land, multi-generational businesses etc. Don't increase tax on new talent because it will restrict true economic growth.

Tax wealth over income

Raise taxes on the ultra rich.

People should be encouraged to seek employment which fulfil personal goals and potential. Taxation at the personal level for those who excel should not become a disincentive to achievement (Doctors and Teachers for example should earn a wage well above average as reward for years of study and the responsibility they hold once qualified). Instead we should tax Corporations more heavily to raise more income and perhaps introduce a specific tax on profit in return for trading in the UK

Tax percentage for highest bracket should be higher but the bracket boundaries should be much higher (increase upper class, lower middle)

No, nut they should tax big companies

Increase tax on the super rich by taxing income generating assets

Complete overhaul, lower deduction taxation overall but increase duties elsewhere

Lower taxes for the poor, fair taxes for the rich but close tax loopholes and clamp down on avoidance schemes, plus stop letting corporations away with paying so little

For those who can be considered to be super rich - no your standard worker but ceos etc

Keep current tax brackets. But harsher punishements for tax avoidance.

Make everyone pay a percentage of what they earn, an equal percentage

No, but make tax loopholes less accessible

Remove large corporation loopholes and tax the large corporation and earners in relevance with their earnings

Reduce the rate of income tax for those earning £40,000 and apply another bracket at those earning £80,000 or more

Reduce the tax for the poor and increase for the wealthy

No, Lower tax on poor. Legalise marajauna and tax the sale as a well as crypto markets

Yes but lower them for the poor.

Reduce the Rich’s ability to avoid taxes

tax should be a flat percentage of income regardless of bracket

It would make sense to raise taxes for the rich, but I think it is more efficient to lower taxes for the poor.

I sit on the fence.

Lower corporate taxes (to encourage business in the UK), remove all tax loopholes (to insist all companies, including religious organisations pay tax) and lower income tax for the poor (to promote equality).

No but outlaw typically tax evasion strategies.

No, have more specific tax brackets

Tax the extreme wealthier people more. Those that have multiple properties, assets exceeding £1,000,000. Middle class workers who earn between £30k and £100k should not be taxed more.

Progressive amtax system based on income

Yes, above a certain income

Yes but only for those earning ridiculously high wages - 200k+

Lower taxes for the poor and raise them for the rich.

Yes but increase personal allowance for those earning less than living wage

Introduce new Wealth taxes

Income tax on lower earners should be reduced, tax on very high earners could perhaps be increased by use of additional brackets above the current highest. Alternately, taxes on all work related income could be reduced and tax on capital gains and other passive income (such as rental income) increased (with a provision that once a person has retired their tax rate on passive income is reduced.) Such rates could also follow a tiered system like income tax instead of being a flat tax.

Taxation should be on a sliding scale, the more you earn over a certain amount ,tax should go up in increments, eg anything over £52,000 per annum + another 5% on standard rate & 1% for every £10,000 over £52,000

Yes, providing this is not limited to those on PAYE. Tax evasion and excessive tax avoidance should be more assertively managed.

Raise income tax above several million or raise capital gains tax above a several million. Resist tax raises for low mid income direct or indirect

The rich should not be taxed more, but the super-rich should be. For example, Jeff Bezos should be taxed more than Chris Evans. However, it does beg the question, at which point do we draw the line?

Yes, but not for people in health care

Yes but to a very little extent

Yes. Rich meaning people earning >£200k pa

Raise for those earning over £100,000

I would need to do more research on this.

Close corporate loopholes and increase top tax brackets.

Leave bands roughly same but remove jumps from 20% to 40% and from 40% to 60%.

Make sure people don’t avoid tax

decrease the taxes for everyone

Revise tax on Equity and Property income

Establish a land value tax

Yes - through taxing passive income such as capital gains tax and withholding tax on dividend

No but increase enforcement of corporation tax

Tax should be based on the individual persons’ earnings.

I believe we should adopt the Swedish model for Taxes

Instead of changing the taxes perhaps we increase the amount of employment and the minimum wage
