Barney Campbell: The case for a new national service scheme – driven by incentives, not compulsion

Doing more to incentivise recruitment is not only good for the Armed Forces, but benefits the rest of society too.

By Barney Campbell | 8 March 2021

David Gauke: Next week’s spending review – and why our holiday from spending restraint is coming to an end

Plus: Johnson’s sub-optimal Brexit trade deal choice. I’m not dreaming of a normal Christmas. And: green jobs – overall, a cost not a benefit.

By David Gauke | 21 November 2020 | 42 comments

Allie Renison: Sunak wants to link business support to viability. He’s right – but he must help to keep firms viable in the first place.

He must ensure that taxation supports viability before he can start to focus on balancing the books.

By Allie Renison | 9 October 2020 | 10 comments

Why the obsessive focus on new tax rises when we need proper spending control – in the form of a real zero-based review?

The Treasury should hold one as the year rolls on, along the lines of that undertaken by Canada’s government during the 1990s.

By Paul Goodman | 3 September 2020 | 119 comments

Richard Holden: My young constituents want to pay less tax and afford a home. We must lift the University debts that hold them back.

A major part of the problem is high tax rates driven by borrowing for higher education courses that they’d be better off not taking.

By Richard Holden MP | 17 August 2020 | 87 comments

Darren Grimes: “Hey folks, eat out and spend more – no, not you, fatty. And here’s a new tax for you, consumer-friendly online retailer.”

We should have a laser-like focus on reducing the tax burden, instead of relying on nannying to get us off of our bottoms.

By Darren Grimes | 29 July 2020 | 44 comments

Sunak’s statement tomorrow. How much like the Old Normal can we afford to make the New Normal be – or try to?

Given the Coronavirus uncertainties, whatever he announces could be even more provisional than most schemes of most Chancellors. 

By Paul Goodman | 7 July 2020 | 33 comments

Javid delivers the Budget he never got a chance to – via the Centre for Policy Studies. He wants to go for growth.

It’s a good thing for former senior Ministers to keep thinking, going and contributing, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see a comeback to government.

By Paul Goodman | 23 June 2020 | 63 comments

James Heywood: Johnson – “Brexity Hezza” or liberalising Thatcherite? Our new report sets out how he can be both.

At the Centre for Policy Studies, we’ve teamed up with Sajid Javid to come up with a comprehensive set of ideas for tackling the challenges ahead.

By James Heywood | 23 June 2020 | 30 comments

Eamonn Butler: More state provision won’t fix social care. It needs partnerships with independent providers.

Investors should create new homes – in an economies-of-scale dozen at a time, and lease a whole care package to local authorities.

By Dr Eamonn Butler | 9 June 2020 | 28 comments

Sam Robinson: How can the UK pay off its Coronavirus bill? A carbon tax and reformed wealth taxes would help.

The Government has to generate revenue quickly, but austerity and spending cuts are not viable options.

By Sam Robinson | 14 May 2020 | 208 comments

James Heywood: The virus has exposed the urgent need to reform how we treat the self-employed

The tax benefits of being self-employed should reflect genuine value added relative to normal employment.

By James Heywood | 27 March 2020 | 14 comments

Matt Kilcoyne: Tax cuts that Sunak should deliver in his first Budget

The author of the final piece in our mini-series identifies corporation tax, stamp duty, national insurance and investment allowances as targets for action.

By Matt Kilcoyne | 27 February 2020 | 28 comments

Ryan Bourne: The core challenge that Johnson’s Government won’t face up to. Boosting growth.

Ministers have been asked to push the Government’s priorities – tackling crime, funding the NHS, “levelling up”. How can these be effected without faster growth?

By Ryan Bourne | 5 February 2020 | 48 comments

Tom Clougherty: Unless Labour resorts to printing money, higher income tax, NI or VAT are coming – for the many, not the few

That’s a legitimate political agenda, and people are quite welcome to vote for it. But they deserve to know what’s coming.

By Tom Clougherty | 11 December 2019 | 13 comments
