John Dixon's reply


"Question 1 - I support point (i) entirely, and this commitment is in Plaid's manifesto for the election. On point (ii), we have said that we would raise the personal tax limit by £1,000 across the board. Your idea of a reduced personal allowance for higher earners is not something I had thought about previously. It's an interesting idea which I'll take up within the party. I will not, at this stage, commit to supporting moves to go further than the proposals in our manifesto until I am certain that they are properly costed within our overall spending plans".

"I am happy to commit to supporting points 2 and 3".

"I support a progressive redistributive tax system, and am open to considering any specific proposals for achieving that end".

i) Additional Rate: Over £100,000 (50%)

ii) A tax free personal allowance of £10,000 for anyone earning up to £17,999 a year. The allowance level will remain at £6,475 for those that earn between £18,000 and £100,000.

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
