The Tax Reform Commission, set up to advise the Tories, proposes cuts in personal and business taxes - including reducing basic income tax to 20%.

Reading on in that story, it seems a good idea..........
Quote:
It wants to reduce the basic income tax rate from 22% to 20% and remove 2.5 million low earners from paying tax by abolishing the 10% lower rate.
The earnings threshold, below which people do not pay income tax, would increase from £5,035 to £7,185.
The commission also backs abolishing stamp duty on shares and cutting business taxes in its report.
And it recommends abolishing inheritance tax and replacing it with a "capital gains tax on death", which would not be levied on family homes. The main corporation tax rate would be lower and more "competitive internationally", the report adds.

then the good ol' bombshell.........

Mr Cameron has said he will not promise tax cuts unless they can be paid for.
