12 Pre-announced reforms winners and losers The Labour Government plan tax increases and benefit cuts totalling 15.8 billion per year Richest lose the most Biggest losers are those amongst the top 1% (earning over 130,000) making big pension contributions Increase in NI also hits high earners the most But others lose out as well NI changes also hit those on moderate to low earnings Increase in duties hits people buying cigarettes, alcohol or fuel. In percentage terms biggest hit for households with average total expenditure Cuts in benefits hit middle income households hardest in cash terms, and low income households in percentage terms Overall progressive tax rise. The biggest losers are top 1%, with low and middle income households losing, but much less
13 Simple and efficient? Increases in NI, duties, restriction of tax relief on pension contributions will weaken work incentives, particularly for higher earners Several planned tax changes worsen distortions, or introduce new complexities Restricting pension contribution relief is complicated, unfair and inefficient 5% stamp duty rate on properties worth more than 1 million increases a very damaging tax that distorts the housing market Patent box is a poor way of encouraging innovation and patent income hard to identify By contrast, increasing NI rates is a fairly straightforward tax rise Relatively simple to administer, low compliance costs Is a jobs tax but so are income tax and VAT
14 Labour manifesto No new measures in the Labour manifesto Pledges not to increase certain taxes Not increase basic, higher and top rate of income tax Not impose VAT on food, children s clothing, books, public transport These tax breaks distort spending decisions There are better ways to redistribute to the poor
15 Conservative manifesto: giveaways One big tax cut Increase employee and employer NI thresholds by more than Labour would to protect more workers from rate rise Costs 5.4 billion
16 Change in net Income The distributional impact of Conservative NI proposals only 1.0% 0.8% 0.6% 0.4% 0.2% 0.0% -0.2% -0.4% -0.6% -0.8% Income Decile Group Relative to today Relative to Labour/Liberal Democrats
17 Conservative manifesto: giveaways One big tax cut Increase employee and employer NI thresholds by more than Labour would to protect more workers from rate rise Costs 5.4 billion Several smaller tax cuts Increase inheritance tax threshold to 1 million. Costs 1.2 billion Freeze council tax for two years. Costs 1.0 billion Transferable personal allowance for 1/3 of married couples. Costs 0.5 billion Increase stamp duty threshold to 250,000 for first-time buyers permanently. Costs 0.3 billion from Total gross giveaway: 8.0 billion Corporate tax plans (rate cuts, base broadening) to be revenue neutral
18 Conservative manifesto: takeaways Small tax rises Extend 30,000 charge to all non-doms. Raises 1.8 billion (Conservative costing; HM Treasury says much less) Bank levy of at least 1 billion Small benefit cuts Reduce threshold for reducing family element of Child Tax Credit from 50,000 to 40,000. Saves 0.4 billion (assumes complete take-up, likely to be less than this) Stop government payments to Child Trust Funds for families with incomes above 16,190. Saves 0.2 billion Net giveaway of 5.7 billion relative to Labour, net takeaway of 10.1 billion relative to today
19 Conservative proposals winners and losers Still the richest that lose out most: Top 1% still lose most as going ahead with Government plans on restricting pension contribution relief NI plans mean richer households pay more on average Benefit from inheritance tax change, but non-doms lose Low and middle income households gain from Conservatives NI changes Transferable personal allowance benefits married couples where only one pays basic-rate income tax. Mainly low and middle income households Progressive but less so than Labour. Biggest losers are top 1%, with middle income households being main beneficiary of smaller overall tax increase
20 Simple and efficient? Plan to limit impact of NI rise, but would retain other changes that are more distortionary and complex, and introduce more complexities Conservatives NI proposals would strengthen incentive to work at all relative to Labour s, but as still increasing rates, would still weaken incentive to increase earnings slightly Transferable personal allowance strengthens incentive for first earner in a married couple to work, but weakens incentive to work for second earner Corporate tax plans would make it more attractive for multinationals to locate profits in UK, but discourage investment in equipment and machinery Why do reforms have to be revenue-neutral within corporation tax? If rate cuts desirable, unlikely that cutting capital allowances is the most efficient way of financing them
21 Liberal Democrat manifesto: giveaways One very large tax cut Increase income tax personal allowance to 10,000. Cost: 16 billion Would take 3.6 million out of income tax Worth 700 a year for those aged under 65 with incomes between 10,000 and 113,000 Those with incomes above 120,000 would not benefit because of tapering of personal allowance
22 Change in net Income The distributional impact of the Lib Dems increase in the income tax personal allowance only 3.0% 2.5% 2.0% 1.5% 1.0% 0.5% 0.0% Income Decile Group
23 Liberal Democrat manifesto: giveaways One very large tax cut Increase income tax personal allowance to 10,000. Cost: 16 billion Would take 3.6 million out of income tax Worth 700 a year for those aged under 65 with incomes between 10,000 and 113,000 Those with incomes above 120,000 would not benefit because of tapering of personal allowance Earnings-index state pension from 2011, not Cost: 0.3 billion Revenue-neutral reform to business rates. Based on land value instead of property value Localised
24 Liberal Democrat manifesto: takeaways Tax rises and benefit cuts mean package overall represents a 3.9 billion tightening relative to Labour, 19.7 billion relative to today: Restricting tax relief on pension contributions to the basic rate. Raises 5.5 billion Reforming Air Passenger Duty to become a per-plane tax. Raises 3.2 billion Tax on bank profits. Raises 2.1 billion Capital gains tax: align rates with income tax, reduce allowance and reintroduce indexation allowances. Raises 1.8 billion Mansion tax 1% annual charge on domestic property values above 2 million. Raises 1.6 billion Withdrawing family element of Child Tax Credit immediately after child element. Raises 1.2 billion End government contributions to Child Trust Funds. Raises 0.5 billion Reforms to Winter Fuel Payment eligibility. Raises 0.1 billion Anti-avoidance and anti-evasion measures to raise 4.4 billion
25 Do the plans add up? Revenue raised from anti-avoidance seems optimistic General Anti-Avoidance Principle would have to deal with a large proportion of avoidance to raise 2.2 billion Unclear that enough resources will be freed up to combat 1.4 billion of evasion But changes to CGT may raise more than they estimate So no clear overall bias in their costings
26 Liberal Democrat manifesto: winners and losers Increase in personal allowance benefits upper-middle income most in percentage terms, particularly two-earner working-age couples Higher-rate taxpayers saving for a pension or making quick capital gains and those living in valuable homes would be hit Also (smaller) losses for mid-to-high income families with children, and year olds, and small gains for severely disabled Difficult to say who will ultimately be made worse off by bank tax, taxes on freight planes and anti-avoidance measures Compared to Labour Government plans, bigger take-away from higher-income households, with middle, not low, income households biggest beneficiaries
27 Liberal Democrat manifesto: decentralisation Would introduce all the Calman Commission s proposals on devolving tax-setting powers to the Scottish Parliament income tax (within limits), stamp duty land tax, air passenger duty, landfill tax and aggregates levy Labour would do most of this, Conservatives not committed to these exact proposals but promise some devolution Localise business rates Would double the proportion of tax raised locally May limit accountability of local authorities if those affected don t live in the area and so can t vote for the council Allow councils to charge higher council tax on second homes
28 Simple and efficient? Increase in personal allowance strengthens incentive to work at all Higher taxes on saving weaken work incentives for richer households, as well as weakening incentives to save Restricting tax relief on pension contributions for all higher rate taxpayers is complex, inefficient and unfair More coherent and less complex than the government s plan But affects far more people Other tax rises remove distortions and inconsistencies Taxing capital gains more like income (and allowing for inflation) Taxing benefits in kind like other remuneration
29 Comparing the parties: total takeaway Government are planning a 15.8 billion take-away About 610 per household per year Conservatives are planning a smaller 10.1 billion take-away About 390 per household per year Liberal Democrats are planning a bigger 19.7 billion take-away About 760 per household per year
30 Comparing the parties: winners and losers Government tax increases are progressive Richest households, especially top 1%, face biggest increase in tax as a proportion of income Lower and middle income households hit but to a much lesser extent Conservative plans progressive but a little less so Middle-income households gain most from overall lower takeaway Liberal Democrats plan a bigger takeaway from richer households than Government or Conservatives To finance an income tax cut that benefits upper-middle-income households the most, not low-income households
31 Comparing the parties: work incentives Government plans to increase in NICs rates weaken work incentives As do other plans Conservative plans to raise NI thresholds strengthen incentive to work at all but incentive to earn a bit more still weaker than today Transferable personal allowance means incentive to have one earner as opposed to no earners or two earners Lib Dem plans to increase personal allowance strengthen incentive to work at all (and by more than Conservative NI plans) But weaker work incentives for richer households, as well as weaker incentives for saving and investment.
32 Comparing the parties: simple and efficient? Overall, Government s proposals are not appealing even considering the need to raise revenue Increase complexity and distortions in the tax system Restricting pension contributions relief particularly badly designed Conservatives plan to forgo much of straightforward NI rise But go ahead with the most damaging of Labour s tax rises And introduce more complexities of their own Transferable personal allowance to recognise marriage Permanently lower rate of stamp duty for first time buyers
33 Comparing the parties: simple and efficient? Liberal Democrats plan a much more radical reform Big income tax cut funded by increased taxes, mainly on richer households Significant decentralisation of tax-raising powers Restricting pensions contribution relief to the basic rate for all higher rate taxpayers is misconceived Almost as bad as other parties plans and applying to millions more people But removal of distortions is welcome Taxing (some) capital gains at the same rates as income Taxing benefits-in-kind the same as other pay
