Tax Freedom Day
The UK's Tax Freedom Day fell on June 2 in 2008. That means that average Brits are spending more than five months of the year working for the Chancellor, rather than working for themselves. And when you factor in government borrowing the picture is even worse – Tax Freedom Day does not come until June 14. Click here to find out more.
Regulation
Over the last ten years there has been a striking boom in government regulation – which now consumes an estimated 10-12 percent of the UK's national wealth, measured as GDP. The ASI aims to highlight the worst excesses of bureaucratic red tape and excessive compliance costs in the UK. Click here to find out more about our regulation campaign.
