Well when the previous government left things in such a mess what do you expect?
January we have VAT up to 20% - Labour decision. We have seen NI contribution (a stealth tax on jobs) rise from 10% to 11% (a ten percent increase)a 50% tax rate on high earners. We pay more council tax more tax on petrol, cigs and booze. All under Labour!
Oh - and don't forget what the flight taxes were before labour doubled them in 1997!
