Income Tax — Mitigation of abolition of 10% starting rate — rejected — 28 Apr 2008 at 22:00
David Taylor MP, North West Leicestershire voted both ways.
The abolition of the 10p rate for the lowest earners had been announced in the 2007 budget, along with a surprise 2p cut in the basic rate of income tax to 20p in the pound but there was concern that this would severely effect those on the lowest incomes. (See here for more detail).
