A quarter of women do not earn enough to benefit from the latest rise in the income tax personal allowance, the TUC said yesterday.
The TUC said the government’s policy of raising the amount someone can earn before they start to pay income tax was “expensive and poorly targeted.”
The allowance goes up from £9,440 to £10,000 this month, but it is not enough to help low-paid workers or parents on low to middle incomes, said a congress report.
It is time to stop tolerating the governing elites incompetence which makes our lives a daily misery, argues MATT KERR
Investing the £75 billion slated for defence spending on a green new deal, healthcare and education would create jobs and help communities far more than weapons spending, argues UCU general secretary JO GRADY
