Norman Lamont joins call to scrap 50p tax rate
"Lord Lamont, who was chancellor in John Major's Tory government in the early 1990s, uses an article in The Sunday Telegraph to declare that tax rates in Britain are "too high and too uncompetitive" compared to other European countries. He says the best way to cut the deficit would be with tax cuts backed by further cuts in public spending – but admits such a package would be "unlikely to be agreed by the coalition."" – The Sunday Telegraph
In a leader The Sunday Times (£) agrees: "The 50% top tax rate was Britain’s signal to the world that we are no longer concerned about attracting the best entrepreneurs to these shores. It should be abandoned."
Vince Cable rejects 50p tax cut without imposing some kind of mansion tax, saying relief for low-paid must come first
"Whether it's Ed Balls or the Mayor of London [Boris Johnson], they are assuming there is some kind of Father Christmas at work that helps you keep a balanced budget. Well, there isn't. You can't just have tax cuts without paying for them… "We will look at it [the 50p rate], but it will have to be balanced by something that's really strong in terms of tax fairness." Mr Cable will not cede his pet projects. He refuses to give up on a mansion tax – "mansions can't run away to Switzerland" – and is adamant the Lib Dem pre-election policy of a levy on homes worth £2m or more is "still a solid basis to proceed from"." – The Business Secretary interviewed in the Independent on Sunday
