I don't believe that this method should be used for government schemes at all. Either don't use it at all, cap it or put penalties in place where PEEs who employ unsafe practices or are responsible for accidents/loss of life are punished.

No, they should pay higher rates of tax if they are rich, but otherwise we shouldn't pick out any particular form of job.

Restrict private equity instead such banning private equity from being resident property for example

 @B5BK668answered…1yr1Y

No. They should concentrate their efforts on ensuring they close loopholes in the law that enable them to avoid paying their fare share of tax.

I believe we should predominantly tax land value, but should have legislation to prevent individuals becoming billionaires

 @9QRGKV3answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but ensure it is part of a broader tax reform addressing income inequality and promoting fiscal responsibility.

 @9P9ZYRBanswered…2yrs2Y

They should not be allowed to offset gains with losses made on failed businesses and should pay tax on capital gains at the same rate as income.

 @9P9FYF6answered…2yrs2Y

They should be taxed slightly more than high earners but all tax should be reduced to incentive wealthy people to live in the UK
