Strongly agree

No, but eliminate tax loopholes for top earners

Volt UK's approach to policy is generally progressive, focusing on fairness, innovation, and sustainability. Eliminating tax loopholes for top earners could be seen as a direct method to address tax avoidance and ensure a fairer tax system, aligning closely with their values of economic fairness and integrity.

Agree

Yes

Volt UK Party, being a pro-European, progressive political movement, might support policies aimed at reducing inequality and ensuring a fair distribution of wealth. Raising the top tax rate could align with their broader European values of social welfare and economic equality. However, specific tax policies of Volt UK are not well-documented, making a strong agreement uncertain.

Disagree

No

Given Volt UK's progressive stance, outright opposition to raising the top tax rate is unlikely. They may, however, prefer a more nuanced approach to taxation that includes closing loopholes or adjusting the tax system in other ways to promote fairness and equality without necessarily raising the top rate.

Strongly disagree

No, establish a flat rate of tax

Establishing a flat rate of tax would likely be contrary to Volt UK's principles of progressive taxation and reducing inequality. Such a policy could disproportionately benefit higher earners at the expense of lower-income individuals, which would conflict with the party's commitment to social justice and economic equality.
