Petition Increase income tax & CGT by 1% then raise NHS spending by 10%
It has become overwhelmingly apparent to the electorate that the NHS is struggling to function with many people left bedridden in corridors, operations cancelled and lifesaving treatments being denied to those most in need.
More details
With 2015 total tax receipts being £533bn of which 56% is raised through Income Tax, NI & CBT. We believe a 1% raise on the 3 tiers of income tax as well as CGT will raise sufficient funding to increase spending on our NHS by no less than 10%.
