Chartered Institute of Taxation: LITRG comment on the 10p tax rate

The CIOT’s Low Incomes Tax Reform Group ( LITRG) has commented on the new announcement:

LITRG says: “We welcome the Chancellor’s announcement that he will aim to compensate some 10% losers by raising the basic personal allowance for the under-65s. Nevertheless, we have significant reservations.

Although it is churlish to be unhappy about a strategy (raising personal allowances) that we would normally welcome, we cannot let pass the fact that it is some of the very poorest who still lose out.”
