A timely & prescient analysis of the case for a UK flat tax
Allister Heath has made an important contribution to changing the climate of opinion on taxation in the UK. After almost a decade in number 11, it is becoming increasingly clear to the electorate that Chancellor Gordon Brown's tax increases haven't led to a corresponding improvement in the provision of public services. Mr Heath offers a thorough analysis of the fiscal and political reasons why a flat tax should be seriously considered in the (now fast approaching) post-Blair era and how it could be implemented. This heavyweight study, which includes a foreword by US political and business heavyweight, Steve Forbes, is a must for anyone interested in not only fiscal policy but government/politics and economics as well.
