MY MONEY IN SAFE HANDS

KEEP THE COST OF LIVING DOWN AND PUT STABILITY FIRST

YOU CAN GET IT IF YOU REALLY WANT

Labour have over-spent and over-borrowed, and as a result the public finances are in a mess. That is why Gordon Brown is putting up taxes, and kicking people when they are down.

The Conservatives have specific proposals to help hard-working families:

•              We will oppose Labour’s plans to double the 10p tax rate.

•              We will use direct democracy to control council tax bills. We will give power to the people, through local referendums, to stop large council tax rises.

•              We will raise the threshold for inheritance tax, taking 98 per cent of family homes out of it altogether.

•              We will abolish stamp duty, the tax on house purchases, for 9 out of 10 first-time buyers, helping people get onto the housing ladder.

•              We will end the couple penalty in the tax credits system. Taxes and benefits should encourage families to stay together, but the current system actually pays couples to live apart.

•              We will reform the administration of tax credits to make the system simpler and fairer.

•              We will help people into jobs and cut benefits for those who won’t work.
