BBC - Peston's Picks: Why tax the rich?
-
What's going on can perhaps be best seen in a bit of analysis by the Institute of Fiscal Studies.
It points out that if high earners made no attempt to avoid paying the new 50% rate, this new top rate would yield £7bn a year on its own, as opposed to the £7bn actually generated (in the Treasury's view) by all three tax changes.
But the Treasury believes that the yield from the 50% rate will be just £2.4bn because high earners will adjust their behaviour in ways that mean they avoid incurring all the increased liability.
