Harmonise the approach to capital gains tax with income tax and limit proceeds paid to banks on basic reserves held with the Bank of England, both of which are increasing taxes on the rich

 @9Q3Y74WLiberal Democratanswered…9mos9MO

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

 @9PHWRXWanswered…9mos9MO

Tax must be more redistributive. This will require taxing richer people more. But there needs to be a definition of rich before this question can be properly answered

 @9MWG7KWanswered…10mos10MO

Yes but only for the very rich e.g. those earning £500,000+ a year or having equivalent in shares/assets (not including home).

 @9MQFJYPanswered…10mos10MO

Increase tax on those who have access or spend more than 500,000 per annum, remove loopholes for “expenses” that the rich currently use.

 @8ZPGVNGanswered…3yrs3Y

Introduce taxes that actually target the wealth not increases of income tax. tax the billionaires that pull money out of the economy and never pay in don't increase the tax burden on middle class workers

 @9MCZSQ8answered…11mos11MO

Realign tax brackets and implement a wealth tax on multiple properties (10<) and assets over say £50m

 @9J736CNConservativeanswered…1yr1Y

Keep tax as is except raise the level when 40% is introduced and increase additional tax on super rich.

 @9GNCMHC answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only on incomes above 500K a year. Also the "secret" 60% tax band between 100-125K due to loss of personal allowance should be removed.

 @9G8KYCWanswered…1yr1Y

Tax is fine, as long as we can see where it is going and if the benefits are coming back to us, something similar to how Finland does taxes.

 @9G2HNHCanswered…1yr1Y

No, taxing the rich does not necessarily help with raising funds for the government. I would rather see a larger personal income allowance and then a more moderate tax on the higher earners in the country but not something unreasonable to disincentives people from having higher paid jobs

 @9FKF8NGLabouranswered…2yrs2Y

If they have a hard working job or long hours they should have less tax than someone who sits in an office earning millions who works 4 hours a day

 @98XC54Sanswered…2yrs2Y

Only rich people who do not donate to charities n that. The rich people who arrr nice and use their money ethically right, are chill

 @96KYNHBanswered…2yrs2Y

Increase the income tax rate on top earners, and remove loopholes for large corporations

 @96FKYTWanswered…2yrs2Y

The United Kingdom should give the same amount of taxes to the rich as to the poor, only when the rich has more expensive buildings, then the taxes for the rich will be higher

 @95LC5PSanswered…3yrs3Y

Tax should be in place but progressively, more incentives for corporations and individuals who pay higher tax to remove the need to use tax loopholes

 @caljomacanswered…3yrs3Y

Reform to remove NICs and replace with increased basic rate of income tax. Increase taxes on capital gains to the same level whilst allowing gains to accrue unrealised to prevent people being forced to sell e.g. company shares or family homes whilst alive. Reduce routine use of tax mitigations (e.g. trusts, offshore companies) to ensure a level playing field. UBO requirements to ensure compliance.

 @8YYKQZJanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes and reduce tax loopholes for large corporations but provide alternate incentives

 @8YTBNQYanswered…3yrs3Y

No, but there should be more tiers introduced so the increases are not as steep. Nobody should be taxed 50% or more of their income.

 @8ST33TLanswered…4yrs4Y

I think that taxes should be raised for those companies in unsustainable industries such as mining, fracking, aviation and fast food.

 @8SMD323answered…4yrs4Y

Keep the tax rates, but actually tax the rich instead of allowing tax avoiders.

 @8RSTDLXanswered…4yrs4Y

 @8RBDT3Wanswered…4yrs4Y

Keep things as they are for individuals. Make big businesses pay a fair share. Look at how online businesses are taxed.

 @8P5MY5Zanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes and the government should tighten regulations to limit tax avoidance

 @9C22SL8answered…2yrs2Y

Yes but make sure it is not alot of their wealth to reduce the chances of revolts

 @99QTVDTLiberal Democratanswered…2yrs2Y

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

 @99BKF98answered…2yrs2Y

Better controls in place to ensure that the rich are actually paying their tax. Less tax loop holes.

 @98LN85Xanswered…2yrs2Y

No, but increase the personal allowance and have it reduced for those earning above £60,000

 @986FGNFLabouranswered…2yrs2Y

yes and lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

 @97Y969Hanswered…2yrs2Y

Raise taxes on the highest earners but raise that limit to over £200,000

 @97Y8NJGanswered…2yrs2Y

Firstly, remove all existing tax loopholes for individuals as well as for large corporations.

 @9DJWF8Vanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and there should also be an open and transparent dialogue with the rich on how the tax money can be best spent for the collective good.
