Essential reading for anyone interested in progressive taxation. I received this message earlier today from Prof Prem Sikka, professor of accounting at Essex University
I have an article today on The Guardian website with the title "The 12-step programme”. It is a contribution to a debate where the government is proposing to tax the less well-off more heavily. The article puts forward some suggestions on how governments can adopt progressive taxation to help the less well-off. The lead line reads “The government claims it can't afford not to abolish the 10% tax rate. Here are some ways it could plug the gap and have money left over”.
Enjoy!
