Yes, but raise it to 70%

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

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

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

 @93LXWLDanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but raise it even higher

 @8VKBBVRanswered…4yrs4Y

Eliminate tax loopholes.

No it is not the individuals we should be solely focusing on, it is the corporations and businesses.
