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

 @8S4YTZFanswered…3yrs3Y

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

 @9HY5DZXcommented…4mos4MO

unlike sit coms on Netflix, tax loopholes haven't existed since the 90's. Please read the economic times before commenting because you look very silly...

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

Yes, and remove all apparent ways to get around it as well as hire someone to check for fraud and unseen/obscure loopholes.

Lower the income tax rate for low earners, increase it for high earners, remove tax loopholes for large corporations.

 @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.

 @9LWYG7Fanswered…5 days5D

Lower income tax, but remove loopholes for large corporations. Properties and businesses belonging to Russian oligarchs should be taken away from them though.

 @9LSGVZSLabouranswered…1wk1W

Yes and raise the tax free thresholds. Increase enforcement of tax evasion. Close tax avoidance loopholes.

 @9LS3PNFanswered…1wk1W

Tax accordingly to annual pay. Removing any loopholes that provide more people, no matter their situation, to commit tax evasion or tax fraud. Commit to helping any lower income or low class people who can't afford their tax ways to work through paying or at least reducing their tax till they're able to pay effectively.

 @9LQDDJ4answered…2wks2W

Yes, but more on overall assets. Many top 5% earners, came from working class, they still struggle with rent, mortgage, childcare, and other caring responsibilities. We need to keep these high skilled people in work force.

 @9LPZGSC answered…2wks2W

decrease the taxes for everyone else in the UK, but definitely increase for the rich and upper class. then they can feel how we have felt this hole time.

 @9LLS3STLiberal Democratanswered…2wks2W

"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.

 @9LKYTFJanswered…2wks2W

There should be a flat rate of income tax for individuals, and existing tax loopholes for large corporations should be removed.

 @9LJT4MRanswered…3wks3W

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

 @9LJNKRCGreenanswered…3wks3W

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

 @9LHPZ8GLabouranswered…3wks3W

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

 @9LHDWQ7answered…3wks3W

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…3wks3W

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

 @9LH6CS4answered…3wks3W

Define rich? Raise taxes on incomes exceeding 1m(?), lower corporation taxes and close tax loopholes for corporations

 @9LGWVPPanswered…3wks3W

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

 @9LGQ7KTanswered…3wks3W

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…3wks3W

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…4wks4W

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…4wks4W

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

 @9LCQQ7Xanswered…4wks4W

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…4wks4W

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…4wks4W

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…4wks4W

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

 @9L7YD7Vanswered…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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
