Rachel Reeves’s “triple whammy of taxes” risks “punishing” British investors at the next Budget, the Tories have warned. The measures said to be on the table include scrapping the ￡500 tax free dividend allowance, removing inheritance tax relief entirely on AIM shares, and increasing dividend tax rates.
Sir Mel Stride, Shadow Chancellor, said: “We know Rachel Reeves is putting her plans together for yet more tax rises to fill the black hole she has created in the public finances. The Government need to urgently rule out these tax hikes on savers and investors before speculation causes further economic harm. Labour don’t understand how business works and how to create growth. More taxes on investment, entrepreneurship and saving are the last thing our economy needs right now.”

"The British economy needs confidence, it needs certainty, and it needs investment – but so long as Labour refuse to rule out this punishing raft of new taxes then investors will continue to be put off and growth will continue to falter.
