For immediate release
Responding to Labour’s call for no tax rises in the March budget, and plans for a tax raid on online retailers, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“Virtually everyone in Britain - from small businesses to the shadow chancellor - is now warning against any immediate tax hikes.
“Taxpayers can tell that raising rates and singling out successful retailers will snuff out any chance of a post-covid recovery, and want Rishi to focus on getting Britain bouncing back.
“The chancellor should take heed and use his budget to give families and businesses a respite from taxes, offer a rescue for struggling sectors and look to revive jobs and investment in the economy.”
