Their plan to scrap the 10p rate was to merge it with the zero rate rather than the 20p rate, effectively creating a tax free allowance of £7,665. Their longer term ambition is a tax free allowance of £10,000, so nobody on minimum wage pays income tax at all. A step in the right direction. - Tom Papworth Fri, 25 Apr 2008 09:42:10 +0100
