Douglas Chapman's reply
"Yes to all three questions".
"Tax should be based on the ability to pay and having a scale of taxation where those earning the most also pay a larger proportion of their income seems the most fair approach".
"In any tax system there should also be an incentive for those who are paid the least either to be in a position where they do not pay tax at all ( through more generous allowances ) or have those on low pay pay very little tax. I believe there must be an incentive for people to work and earn their living and that there should be a differential between having the respect that earning a decent living brings and being on benefits".
Do you agree in principle with the aforementioned policy?*
*no commitment to act upon the policy
In a generic sense, do you believe that the rich should pay more tax and the poor should pay less tax?
Do you pledge to campaign for income tax reform at the next parliament?*
*not necessarily as specified with the above policy
