  • Labour's tax plans could mean increases in taxes for many people. To optimise your tax planning for a better retirement go to ianshadrack.com/retirement-ca...

    If income tax, corporation tax and national insurance won't be raised then some of the lesser taxes could have sweeping changes. HMRC connect is a supercomputer that snoops on you to make sure your tax return captures all your sources of income.
    This could mean that landlords and wealthy pensioners could be massively worse off.
    Tax in the UK
    In 2023-24, total UK government revenue is forecast to be £1.06 trillion, or 41% of gross domestic product (GDP). The primary source of revenue is taxation, which is forecast to raise £950 billion in 2023-24, or 37% of GDP - equivalent to around £17,200 for each adult living in the UK.
    Labour’s Tax Plans ……
    Income Tax & National Insurance
    The Labour party has pledged no national insurance or income tax rises, but they could “rebalance” these taxes lowering them for some but increasing them for others.
    Lifetime Allowance
    Labour have said this will be re-introduced but we don’t know the level at which it will apply. Also tax relief on pension contributions might be altered.
    Tax Planning For Retirement
    Inheritance tax suggests putting money in a pension, lifetime allowance suggests putting money in an isa. So it is difficult to know what to do.
    State Pension
    Both Labour and Conservatives are committed to the triple lock. The Conservatives will raise the personal allowance for pensioners so the state pension won’t exceed the personal allowance.
    More Powers for HMRC
    The supercomputer HMRC Connect tracks down a staggering amount of information, taking Big Brother surveillance to a completely new level. HMRC is now beefing it up by adding machine learning artificial intelligence (AI) technology, too. It will compare its data with the information on your tax return, and hone in on any discrepancies. This would include data held by your bank and your stockbroker. It can check all your trading activity on platforms such as eBay, Gumtree, Etsy, and Vinted.
    Labour plans to spend up to £855 million to bolster the number of tax compliance officers by up to 5,000 to increase the number of investigations.
    Tax on Second Homes - double council tax
    The Scottish Parliament has approved powers to increase the amount of Council Tax payable on second homes by up to 100% (double Council Tax). This could be extended to England & Wales.
    Taxes on Side Hustles
    Starting 1st Jan 2024 eBay will pass on data to HMRC automatically if you're selling 30 or more items a year OR have total earnings over the equivalent of £1,770. eBay will automatically share this information with HMRC by 31 January 2025.
    If you dispose of personal possessions for more than £3,000, you may need to pay tax on it. Have a look at Capital Gains Tax on personal possessions. If you sold stock you have purchased (even if it is secondhand), with the intention to sell online, then this is trading. If your gross turnover exceeds £1,000, then you will need to registed for self assessment as self-employed.
    Dividend Tax
    The dividend allowance has been lowered and people might not realise they now have to pay extra income tax
    Summary
    Be careful with investments in oil & gas companies and large multi-nationals. As an individual look at tax creep on dividends, come clean on your side hustles, watch for increased taxes on property investment and private pensions.
    Paying tax now to have a potentially lower tax bill in the future is not a good strategy. The money leaves your pocket when it could be compounding on the stock market.

    The tax-burden on the country is too high. Increase it, and GDP growth will be squeezed out of the economy, meaning less money available for public services over time. Labour never understood this, and the Conservatives have forgotten it.

    • @ianl1052

      The difference is, Tories waste taxes by filling the pockets of friends, family and party donors which, as you rightly say, is a drag on GDP. Labour, however invest it on education, NHS and vital infrastructure. A healthy, educated population and fit for purpose infrastructure especially resurfaced roads will boost our GDP. This has been proven time and time again.

    It’s worse than this….I’m due inheritance. Becoming suspicious, joining up dots I began to think we ain’t going to see our pensions so applied to cash them in….so far I haven’t managed to get it seven months after applying. I became suspicious after it took 6 months to cash in premium bonds worth 10,000. From what I can gather, they’ve spent it. This is where some of the 1 trillion debt is. They can’t afford to pay us back our money!!! So considerable effort is made not to. My mother passed almost exactly one year a go. June 2023….. the money from the house sale??? I honestly wonder if I’ll ever see it. My belief is, they’ve spent it. They can only repay it by printing money. This happened in Nazi Germany too. It’s why post war the Reichsmark was replaced with the DM at a rate of 10 to 1. Expect similar with the CBDC. The Great Reset. Probably combined with mass nationalisation of your assets. I can see why they brought in compulsory pensions….it was a stealth tax. They stole it….This is Nazi tactics…guns not butter. They forced them to save in Post office savings accounts they then converted into Govt bonds!!! In reality, they stole it. They could only pay it back by printing money.

    For the Labour Party, however, raising taxes is in its DNA. It sees working families as little more than a cash machine, to be raided as it funds its utopian projects. It does not understand aspiration, and many of its MPs enjoy wallowing in the politics of envy. The financial security of British households would come second to net zero and the unions.
    It has also revealed deficiencies in its approach to prioritising spending. Labour has failed to match the Conservatives’ commitment to raise defence expenditure to 2.5 per cent of GDP by 2030, and has now declined to say whether the Metropolitan Police would receive additional funding to deal with the shocking levels of crime in London.
    It is a dispiriting summary of the price Britain would pay for a Starmer government: higher taxes for a more dangerous country.

    • @Kalarandir
      @Kalarandir หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Are you serious?
      Every Tory government has raised the the overall tax burden. They go into every election cutting taxes only to raise them again if they win. It was Labour who lowered VAT on fuel and VAT in general, only for the Tories to raise VAT right back up again. It is the Tories who will cause the state pension to actually fall into the lower tax bracket. It was the Tories who promised to remove VAT on fuel when we left the EU, I am still waiting.
      As for the military, it has been successive Tory governments that have dismantled our forces year after year. There is a myth going about that the Tories are good for the military, when the opposite has been the truth because the client Tory media does not mention Tory military cuts but scream from the rafters about made up Labour policies that bear no foundation in facts. The Tories can promise all they want, and only a fool would believe them given their record on broken promises. Promising 2.5% is just another Tory lie to fool the gullible.
      Tory promises are one thing, but the reality is another. However, what is a reality is a shifting of the tax burden from those who have to those who don't.

    Got to wait for the manifesto really, but money needs to be raised. Corporation Tax is an obvious place to target, but there's still not a lot of room there. I wonder if they'll do the income tax band revamp - hopefully not damaging single-higher-earner-households in the process. I could see a new 30% rate of tax from £45k to £60k, 40% from £60k (and NI bands similarly adjusted), and 45% from £75k, removal or adjustment of the allowance clawback, and 50% at £120k - but they can unfreeze the thresholds to soften the blow. Maybe bring back the 10% band.
    The other way out of this rut is GDP growth, which is rather hard in the corner the country is in right now.
    Pension contribution limit will surely be dropped - £60k is an outlier amongst peer nations. Perhaps they could extend the pension contribution window to 5 years from 3 to allow for one-off windfalls. Back to £40k I imagine, this won't affect many. There are also rumours of a flat 30% tax relief on pension contributions - helping lower earners at the expense of higher earners - pretty harsh for those who have just got to that level and were going to use it to finally boost their pots - what will they soften the blow with here?

      Tories have increased taxation to its highest level since WW2 disproportionately affecting low earners while increasing loopholes for millionaires/billionaires and foreign corporations. Labour plan to readdress this, putting the tax burden on those who can afford it instead of those who can't. Additionally, historically, Labour spends taxes raised on investing on infrastructure and the NHS which all helps boost the economy instead of syphoning tax payers money into the pockets of millionaires/billionaires and foreign corporations who go on to hide their wealth in offshore tax havens. Wealth tax? bring it on. Cut back on tax avoidance/tax evasion? bring it on. VAT on private schools to help finance public schools? bring it on. Making the likes of Amazon and Ebay etc pay the same amount of taxes as high street businesses to help restore our towns and cities? bring it on. Proper windfall taxes for (mostly foreign owned) energy giants and oil companies who have been fleecing customers and consumers since the Russian invasion of Ukraine to invest in home grown green energy making us less reliant on foreign energy? bring it on.
      Vote Labour or vote tactical.

    Have a think people, money and how does it work? Why is it that only rich people have the most of our money. They only pay a small proportion on income tax than poor people pay. What we need do, is raise tax from Wealth, not income. Raise money from halving the amount BOE charges interest on printing our money after this government gives it away to themselves.
    Our gov wanted to level up, wrong or they would have equalised the amount of property rates between the north and south. The south only pay 0.1 % whilst the north pays 1% a factor of 10 difference, you need to wake-up you people and think outside the box.

      That 'unearned income' is generally money that's already been taxed.
      Instead of spending it, investors buy assets that may increase in value over time. That's why it's taxed at a lower rate. Increasing the taxes due merely increases the set-against rate for losses.

      We won't all be better off. The "unearned income" is often money that many people work hard for, pay tax on and then invest in the hope of improving their own prospects for their futures, there's no guarantees that will happen, investments can fall in value too, or they can just stagnate and give poor returns, that's the risk of investing. You sound like a typical socialist who can't wait to get their grubby mitts on other peoples money.

    Example - Banker earns 200k in salary and then 1million in shares as a bonus, They pay income tax for 200k at 45% then the 1million is taxed at 28% ....if they realise them at the time , if they do not then taper relief kicks in and they pay less tax each year they hold them.
