ASI reaction to the Conservative Manifesto features on Conservative Home
The Adam Smith Institute's reaction to the Conservative Manifesto was featured on Conservative Home:
Dr Eamonn Butler, Director:
“It’s been an absurd part of UK tax policy that people making the minimum wage have had their earnings taxed away. The Conservatives should be applauded for making a firm commitment to keep those on the minimum wage out of income tax, regardless of future rises to the minimum wage. However, to truly take the lowest-paid out of tax, the Tories would do well to reevaluate the National Insurance threshold, which goes into the same revenue pot as income tax yet continues to sit far below the personal allowance threshold.”
