It is good news that people with low incomes may get back some of what they lost with the abolition of the 10p tax rate.
It is important to note that this was just icing on the already unfair tax system.
Many of the very rich pay no tax through use of tax havens and non-domicile scams.
The highest rate of tax falls on the 10th of the population with the least income.
The 10th with the highest income pay at about the average rate. This unfairness is the result of the policies of Conservatives and New Labour over the past 30 years.
