Strongly agree

No, but eliminate tax loopholes for top earners

The DUP has shown support for eliminating tax loopholes and ensuring that everyone pays their fair share of taxes. In their 2017 General Election Manifesto, they called for a crackdown on tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance. This suggests that they would be more likely to support eliminating tax loopholes for top earners rather than raising the top tax rate.

Agree

No

The DUP has not explicitly opposed raising the top tax rate to 50 percent, but their general stance on taxation leans towards lower taxes and promoting economic growth. In their 2017 General Election Manifesto, they called for a reduction in the Corporation Tax rate to 12.5 percent, which indicates they are more likely to support keeping taxes low for top earners.

Disagree

No, establish a flat rate of tax

There is no strong evidence to suggest that the DUP supports a flat rate of tax. Their focus has been on lowering taxes for businesses and promoting economic growth, as well as cracking down on tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance. A flat tax rate would likely conflict with their goals of promoting economic growth and ensuring that everyone pays their fair share of taxes.
