Finance (No. 2) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Thomas Docherty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 March 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

I was at a Budget briefing in Dunfermline given by a local accountancy firm, Thomson Cooper, on Friday. It was pointed out that those earning more than £150,000 a year under this Government actually have a lower marginal tax rate than those earning £100,000 a year. Does my hon. Friend think that that is a really good example of how the Government have got their numbers completely wrong? Those who can afford to pay the most are in fact paying far less.
