    Single rate of Income tax
    I call for a single fixed rate of income tax which everyone has to pay of 30% which everyone has to pay who earns above £20,000 annually. Everyone below this threshold would pay no income tax.

    In the MHoC, the current tax brackets are as follows (for income tax, and both primary and secondary NICs are scrapped):

    £0-10K: 0%
    £10K-20K: 5%
    £20K-100K: 15%
    £100K+: 25%

    In addition, there's also a local income tax (instead of council tax) which local authorities can levy to raise the majority of their revenue (with central grants cut from £75bn to £25bn).

    As long as it is not a flat tax, as those living in houses presumably would be exempt.

    It's fine. I don't think a Mod needs to do it you can edit your own posts.
