Finance Bill 2003 [ Certified Money Bill ] : Second Stage.

 

My view is that we reduced capital taxes and income tax too quickly and by too much. I acknowledge that there is a particular difficulty in increasing income tax, although the Minister has achieved this by stealth in the Finance Bill. I believe he should have been looking at measures to broaden the tax base as part of the tax revenue projections for this year and this has not been done.
