Will he make taxation fairer and more efficient and just by introducing a single tax?
N.B. I have posted this writeup as a response to an inspiring article about an open letter by a number of senior economists to Andy Burnham pleading with him that upon becoming prime minister he should aim to make taxation in Britain fairer, more efficient and just. They are calling for a single levy to replace six key taxes to raise money for public services and to encourage a more inclusive economic growth, to “unlock the gridlock that plagues the country”.
In short, the main aim of this writeup is firstly to highlight the important points raised in the said open letter. Then, to offer a time-honoured possible alternative available to the new prime minister by recalling a few gems on this subject from our GCGI. INFO archive.
Tax, tax and more taxes! Taxes on everything. Taxes even on living and dying! So many taxes that are even driving the sane to madness!
