The government have fluffed it - 6.5% of GDP GGP. Its back to the 80's tax and spend government.
What is an income levy? Is not just another way of saying "tax" without them saying they are raising taxes?

Because if it is on gross income, it is ineffect more than a 1% rise in tax..
50 cent increase with ciggs, 50 cent increase with bottle of wine. All other "booze" remains the same.
