Transforming Britain's unfair tax system

6.00.00pm GMT Mon 30th Nov 2009

Nick Clegg

Dear all,

Vince Cable

If you want to know how committed a Government is to fairness, then you need look no further than its tax system.

Labour has created a tax regime where the poorest pay a bigger slice of their income than the richest. Polluters are allowed to get away with harming our environment without paying for the clean-up. And we lose as much as £40 billion a year to tax dodgers.

This has to change.

The Conservatives tell us that we are all in this together whilst promising tax cuts for millionaires and then say that there might be tax rises for everyone else.

So much for their kind of change.

Today, we have pledged to put a transformation of Britain's unfair tax system at the heart of the Liberal Democrat campaign for a fairer Britain.

Our plans will see tax cuts for millions of people, paid for by closing tax loopholes, making polluters pay and introducing a 'mansion tax' on homes worth over £2m.

For more details of our policy proposals see http://www.libdems.org.uk/

What we are proposing is a radical rebalancing of the tax system with fairness at its centre. This is a real and genuine change that would make a huge difference to the lives of people up and down the country.

Please help spread the message among your friends, family and colleagues.

Best wishes,

Nick Clegg MP

Leader of the Liberal Democrats

Vince Cable MP

Shadow Chancellor and Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader

Cllr MIke Popham

Bristol City Council, Executive Member

Prospective Member of Parliament, Bristol East
