Interesting budget point from yesterday 10:57 - Mar 4 with 449 views

Freezing things for a long time makes a big difference. Since 2010 there has been a doubling of the number of people, to almost 500,000, paying the additional 45% rate of income tax. That's because it has kicked in at £150k for that whole period.

Subtle changes like this can be found throughout the various tax changes made over the last 5 years.

They're excellent at slights of hand to give the impression they are reducing tax. And it works with the voter.

Those crazy right wing Tories and their policies of increasing taxes on the wealthier. They’re going mad!

To be fair, they also give plenty of loopholes to claw back/reduce for the mega-rich
