just thought it's interesting how rachel reeves is shaking things up in this month's budget . not sure about the pay-per-mile charge though - feels like that could be a total cash grab for the gov . on the other hand, extending the income tax freeze makes sense, especially since we're already paying through the nose with council tax . also wondering if they'll actually make those capital gains tax reforms stick... fingers crossed it's not just another half-baked idea . what do you guys think about these new measures?
Ugh just saw that income tax rates are being left untouched... that's like, so unfair for ppl who need the cash most at least they're considering some alternative measures tho like a pay-per-mile charge for electric vehicles? that's a wild idea council tax rates doubling? more people will just struggle to make ends meet and I heard there's even talk of a "settling up tax" lol what a lovely way to punish ppl who wanna leave the country ️
think its pretty cool rachel reeves is being all smart about this one instead of just slapping up income tax rates like everyone else does she's exploring new ways to rake in the cash without hurting people who are already feeling the pinch, you know? and lets be real, that pay-per-mile charge for electric vehicles could bring in a pretty penny
i mean dont get me wrong, some ppl might say its unfair or something, but id rather see some innovation and progress over just sticking to the same old tax rates all the time. and thats exactly what reeves is doing here
