should be raised to 75%

Yes, but raise it to 70%

 @9WW67X7answered…4wks4W

Tax the ultra rich more. We all must have something achievable to strive for without being penalised for our efforts.

 @9H5YF5Tanswered…1yr1Y

No, this is too excessive and dissuades ambition, however they should still be taxed in a high bracket.

 @9KSHQM3answered…9mos9MO

no. But it is disgraceful that 40% tax starts at 50k. It should be much higher than this, i.e 90k-100k.

 @9JR4YBQanswered…10mos10MO

No, the top income should be raised, and tax needs reform because between 100,000 and 125,000 people are paying tax at 60%.

 @9Q3HXVWanswered…5mos5MO

This will encourage top earners to emigrate. £150,000 is not huge these days. Concentrate on the people and businesses that make millions

 @93LXWLDanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but raise it even higher
