TaxPayers’ Alliance responds to stealth tax forecasts

For immediate release

 

Responding to the Institute for Fiscal Studies’ forecast that by 6p by 2027-28 frozen tax thresholds could equal an increase in both the basic and higher rate of income tax, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:

“Struggling taxpayers are being squeezed by this stealth raid on their pay rises.

“The government is draining every last drop from ordinary households in order to fuel Whitehall’s insatiable spending addiction. 

“The only way to give hard-pressed Brits the breathing room they need is to cut spending and raise thresholds.”
