Third, I will introduce fairer taxes
Third, I will introduce fairer taxes. Our only net tax rise in this manifesto is on that slice of people’s earnings over £100,000 a year, in order to abolish student tuition fees and care charges on the elderly, and cut local taxes. But we will make taxes fairer – such as replacing the Council Tax with a system based on ability to pay. The typical household’s tax bill will be cut by around £450 each year as a result.
