Tackling Short-term and Long-term Cost of Living Increases

Written Question
Marginal Tax Rates
Friday 13th November 2015

Asked by: Ed Miliband (Labour - Doncaster North)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the number of families who will have marginal deduction rates over (a) 50, (b) 60, (c) 70, (d) 80 and (e) 90 per cent in 2015-16; and what his projections of those figures are for each year to 2020-21.
