Budget Statement: Motion.
There is more justification for reliefs when there are higher rates of taxes. I always find it a bit difficult to understand why so many wealthy professional people have so much difficulty in paying tax straightforwardly and will adopt any device – I am talking about legal eagle devices – to avoid paying into the Exchequer. If one has done well out of society and the economy, what is wrong with paying one's tax straight to the Exchequer?
