Jeremy Hunt: Everyone will have to pay more tax – By BBC News Staff (BBC News) / Nov 13, 2022
Everyone will have to pay more tax under plans due to be announced on Thursday, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt says.
Speaking to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg, he said: “I’ve been explicit that taxes are going to go up.”
He also confirmed he would be giving details about further support for people struggling with energy bills, but warned there had to be constraints on help.
Labour accused the Conservatives of making a “total mess” of the economy.
Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said Mr Hunt was choosing to tax working people, while doing “little to close tax loopholes which mean some of the wealthiest don’t pay their fair share”.
