Tax Cuts for Higher Earners
The motion
That the Parliament notes with concern the proposal by the Conservative Party leadership candidate, Boris Johnson, to cut taxes for around 3 million higher earners in England, Wales and Northern Ireland if he becomes Prime Minister; understands that this will be achieved by raising the 40p threshold from £50,000 to £80,000; believes this will be funded in part by increased National Insurance contributions, and considers that, as income tax is devolved but National Insurance is reserved, this would mean Scottish taxpayers funding a handout for well-off taxpayers in the rest of the UK.
