AIBU not tax rise, but the Labour Manifesto is taking the Married Allowance

[Mummmy2017]

Is it true or not?
Married Tax allowance to go?
Garden Tax...

How many others have you heard off.

Garden tax isn't real. They are considering a LTV to replace Council Tax but that's the extent of it.
The ludicrous figures quoted in right wing media were provided by Boris and Labour has repeatedly refuted them.
The 3% in particular has been repeatedly debunked.

Don't know if it's true, but have no problem with it. It seems like a lot of admin for something that only affects a relatively small number of people (married/civil partnered with one not working).

Personally I'd rather pay more tax and safeguard the NHS than sell off NHS assets to rent them back and pay more in the long term. It's a very short sighted policy that the tories have there.

And the Tories will give you the "dementia tax", more cuts to the NHS, huge cuts to school budgets, benefit cuts, more zero hours contracts with poor protection or zero protection for employees and anybody who is not a manager, not do anything about the super rich or multinationals paying zero tax, make house prices and rents even more unaffordable for young people, have a rubbish record on protecting the population from terrorism etc.

Also if the Tories win, they will probably bring in half the terrible Labour ideas that you are so worried about as they have done many times in the past. It really is swings and roundabouts.

You don't need to ask the hive of MN. You simply needed to read the party manifestos and you'd already know the answers. But, like so many of the population, you presumably don't think it's worth an hour of your time over the last month to decide where to cast your hard fought right to vote.

Don't know if it's true, but have no problem with it. It seems like a lot of admin for something that only affects a relatively small number of people (married/civil partnered with one not working).

That isn't true. It isn't just for those who have one partner not working. It is if you don't pay tax so could be pt or zero hours.

Labour will have to increase taxes, not just for the rich but, for all to even semi bankroll their hairbrained initiatives.

Tories are going to raise taxes

Never any comments about that...

And its sad i have to say this but not a labour supporter...i just dont get how people can have a pop at raising tax when the others are going to as well

While the Tories are having a dementia tax and selling

Selling the NHS

What is wrong with paying more tax? We can't have decent public services if we're not prepared to pay for them.

Piglet, I did think about getting all precise about it, but it and hardly worth the effort. Because the people I know that could claim our that are both working don't, because the amount they would benefit by its so small they see it as not worth claiming. Most people that I see claiming have one person not working.

I'm working and claimed the marriage tax because my earnings are so low (have to wait until the end of the year though because my earnings fluctuate).
