Labour rules out wealth tax if party wins next election

May 20,2023 3:10 am

By Nathan Williams & Iain Watson, political correspondent BBC News

Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves has ruled out any version of a wealth tax on the richest In Society should Labour win The Next general election.

She extra money for public services would have to come from Economic Growth .

Ms Reeves confirmed Labour would not target expensive houses, increase capital gains tax or put up The Top rate of Income Tax .

" I don't see The Way to prosperity as being through taxation, " She Said .

The Shadow chancellor told the newspaper Labour would instead do " whatever it takes" to attract business investment into the UK.

The Interview comes as Labour steps up efforts to demonstrate it can be trusted with the Economy - and further distance itself from the policies of former leader Jeremy Corbyn - ahead of an election that is expected next year.

By explicitly ruling out tax options, they believe this will blunt Tory warnings of a Labour tax bombshell to come.

The Conservatives, though, have accused Labour of taking people for fools, arguing that even The Party 's existing policies would push taxes up.

Meanwhile, Labour Party chair Anneliese Dodds defended Labour's decision to rule out a wealth tax, telling BBC Radio 4 's Broadcasting House programme The Party wanted to be " very careful with tax policy".

Ms Dodds said Labour wanted to avoid what She Said was " economic chaos" under the Conservatives, " particularly following the mini-budget" under Liz Truss . She Said Labour wanted to " rebuild" investors' confidence in the UK Economy .

Ms Dodds also said Labour would make " different choices from the Conservatives" highlighting The Party 's plans to raise funds by and.
