But raising the Tax Free allowance by nearly £8k would put £2k per year into the pockets of a LOT of people. While the richest might be the biggest beneficiaries in terms of how much they save, the biggest beneficiary in terms of volume of people benefiting may still be in lower/middle.
All moot anyway as raising the threshold so much so fast would be a bit Liz Truss and it wont happen.
Edit – this coverage even feels a bit “well yeah it benefits us but it benefits someone else more so I dont want it!”
Because they pay more in tax in the first place, not exactly a revelation.
Total fantasy politics though, if only the other political parties thought of cutting taxes and increasing spending at the same time!
I read the article but I don’t understand how they work it out.
How does raising the tax free allowance benefit the highest earners?
Anyone on over £140,000 pa wouldn’t be receiving it anyway.
Getting rid of stupid effective tax bands of 60% and higher would be welcomed so yea bring it on Nigel
It’s typical. Yet again we have the rich using their wealth to convince the poor to vote for them.
Farage is their frontman, I mean why not he did such a great job on Brexit for them. See they needed Brext so that eventually they can leave the ECHR. Then they will introduce a British Bill of Rights to replace the Human Rights Act, which will almost certainly mean less protections for employees which in turn helps his rich mates, at your expense. Please don’t fall for this man or his party at the next election. Yes its bad at the moment but under this lot thing will get a whole lot worse.
Not a fan of reform in the slightest. These numbers don’t add up.
If the income tax base rate is uplifted from 12.5 to 20 then everyone will benefit equally apart from those earning less than 20. Therefore I would expect 1 and 2 to be lower then 3 to 9 to be equal. It’s not like you can get more because you earn more. In fact the relative income change should be lower at the top end because the % against income is lower because the income is higher.
Are they doing this on purpose? You know like let’s have a go at reform where even the most simple of person can see we are wrong so they look like some sort of underdog. I really don’t get it.
Typical socialist take, which pretends high salary people = rich.
The rich have better options than to pay themselves salaries.
Farage is not the ‘ man of the people ‘ the easily influenced think he is
It’s slightly depressing to see that he knows he can write off any pushback as ‘Project Fear 2.0’ when Brexit turned out to be the fiasco ‘experts’ warned us about.
You’d hope any normal country would take that as confirmation that he is talking out of his arse again.
Not sure I follow. If you’re on minimum wage, lifting the tax free allowance means 80% or so of your earnings are tax free. It’s a comparatively small benefit for those of us in the upper tax bands. Presumably there are other tax provisions in this calculation but the indy is choosing to focus on the tax free allowance?
Edit: not that I’m necessarily opposed to tax cuts, but I am worried about how these will be paid for. We don’t have the luxury of just being able to print money to cover our bills like the States does. Given all the UK DOGE rhetoric from Farage and co, you have to feel that this will be paid for with some brutal cuts elsewhere so yes, you’ll be getting your £20k tax free but a lot of us are also going to be paying NHS “co pay”, private healthcare and private schools, plus there will doubtlessly be some bat shittery about making working from home illegal. I wouldn’t start spending the extra money yet, put it that way.
Following the Trump blueprint – Farage doesn’t have a single original thought – he’s building his own version of MAGA
He’s a poundland trump without the criminal convictions.
Click bait crappy title from the Independent completely unrelated to the article. Farage is a twat but the article is garbage
No problem. All he has to do is blame the previous government for all the bad things. Works for square head and Rachel the fantasist.
Here in Scotland, 39% of adults of working age pay no income tax, not a single penny – so obviously the tax cuts proposed will only benefit the working man and woman, aka “the richest” (read – those who work for a living and pay tax) and I’m absolutely happy for that.
“Richest” is a byword for those bothering to find employment and put in a working week.
I’m sick of paying more and more tax and having more and more services stripped away to fund those whose contribution to the state is £0 a year.
Finally, someone proposing an incentive for the people who actually do work and pay tax that fund the welfare state. Our current system, of taxing working men and women higher and higher, either through tax increases or fiscal drag, whilst millions sit idle demanding that working people fund their lifestyles, isn’t working.

Its been 20 minutes i wondered when the next farage hit piece was going to be.
The voters know. They don’t care. They think all politicians are crooks who serve “the Elites”, so you may as well vote for YOUR crooks. At least then The Elites will be people like you.
I don’t understand how this kind of push is still being attempted nearly 10 years after Trump and Brexit proved decisively that it doesn’t work.
Im shocked how people are still supprting this guy who deluded the racist public to vote out of brexit and this man was to blame
A wolf in wolf’s clothing, pretending to be sheep, to incredibly dim sheep.
It’s really not difficult to see Farage is a charlatan, a fraudster and a self-serving grifter. Only have to see how Reform in the local elections are going to see how workshy and ignorant him and his pack of wolves really are.
His voters need to look into populism. They’ll soon learn they’ve been taken for granted and lied to.
