Fair taxes
- Every day we get closer to this election it is clear that people want change. This election is now a two-horse race between us and the Conservatives.
- So the question is what kind of change? The Liberal Democrats stand for a fair society, where hard work is rewarded and what people contribute to society is based on what they can afford.
- The key to building a fair society is a fair tax system. In a fair tax system when you work hard you will keep more of your money and those who can and should pay more - the very wealthy and polluters - will pay their fair share.
- By closing loopholes and taxing aviation fairly we'll make sure you don't pay a penny of tax on the first £10,000 you earn, freeing 3.6m pensioners and the lowest paid from income tax altogether, and giving everyone else £700 back.
- The Conservatives will use the tax system to reward wealth, not work.
Their Inheritance tax giveaway will cost £6bn over the course of the next Parliament
It is aimed at the wealthiest 0.8% of estates in the UK
Every year, 3000 of the wealthiest estates in the country would each benefit by almost £250,000
- The Conservatives will build a society that is less fair and more divided.
Join the only party that now stands for fairness, and stands up for ordinary working people. You can make the difference.
