WITH the Conservatives yet to decide if they will pledge tax cuts and Labour spending more and wasting more of the public's money, the UK Independence Party flat tax policy will come as a breath of fresh air to the public.

Our proposals include merging existing tax bands and National Insurance contributions into a single flat tax of 33 per cent.

We will raise the tax free personal allowance to £9,000 and reduce the top rate for capital tax gains to 33 per cent and scrap inheritance tax.

These proposals will make the majority of taxpayers better off by £1,100 per year and also take a further 4.5 million lower paid out of income tax altogether.

It is because of proposals such as these that makes UKIP the real opposition in Britain when the three parties have run out of ideas.

RYAN NEWELL, chairman, UKIP Southampton.
