CUT INCOME TAX IN BUDGET - Papworth

Mon 10th Mar 2008

Tom Papworth, Liberal Democrat GLA candidate for Bexley and Bromley, has joined Liberal Democrats in calling upon the Government to reduce the basic rate of Income Tax to just 16p in the pound. Council Tax should be scrapped altogether and replaced by a local income tax set by local authorities. Initially set at 3.5p in the pound, this would still leave working families paying less income tax and not paying Council Tax at all.
