    Revealed: Labour plan for ?250 tax rise after next election as party turns its back o





    Labour is looking at proposals to hit taxpayers with a ?250 tax rise ? the equivalent of adding 2p to the basic rate of income tax ? if it wins the next election in 2015.

    The party?s equalities spokesman Kate Green revealed that it could reject George Osborne?s austerity plan ? which is three parts cuts to one part tax increases ? in favour of a 50-50 split, which would send taxes soaring.

    Miss Green said: ?The choices are about how you allocate the spending cuts and tax increases and I think that is seriously unbalanced under this Government.?

    Asked about Labour?s plans, she said ?plenty of proposals? were being looked at but indicated a 50-50 split would be fairer.

    Labour is still officially committed to plans drawn up by former chancellor Alistair Darling which would call for ?67billion of savings in 2014-15. A 50-50 split would mean tax rises of ?33.5billion.

              Unlike others who give you something like 1p in the pound back in PAYE and then stiffs you 2.5% extra on VAT then asks you to thank them you mean?

              Despite the cost of living, it's still very popular.

                          Do you know I just do not have time to think anymore, why I bother going to work if I have to pay enormous amount of tax on the small wage I take home.

                          If I work my earnings I take home 25pence in a pound is it worth working when living is already expensive I could just pay my bills, and when ever I hear more tax I just do not think any more?..

                              So if you earn ?300 you only get ?75

                              THE TRUTH
                              The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12
                              Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
                              The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                                      I think you need to appeal your tax code!
