Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

I am delighted to intervene on the hon. Lady. She will be aware that the art of taxation is to extract the maximum amount of money with the minimum amount of hissing. Is she aware of the principle that a lower tax rate can often lead to a higher tax take, and does she think it might apply in this case, thus meaning that millionaires pay more, not less?
