The problem is, is for those of us who do pay taxes, then yes the taxes are going up and we are paying more and more, but...... at the same time, there are massively increasing numbers of people who pay no tax at all, due to the personal tax thresholds having increased meaning more people have been lifted out of tax altogether, and this coupled with the increase in part time workers actually means that tax revenues are falling.
