UK Political Parties Clash Over Tax Policies Ahead of General Election

Conservatives and Labour present conflicting tax strategies, leaving business leaders and pensioners uncertain about future economic policies.

• Conservatives face criticism for their past increases in property taxes, despite their current pledge not to raise them.
• Labour considers multiple new taxes, including a capital gains tax hike on second homes, to fund public services.
• Business leaders express frustration over the lack of clear, actionable economic policies from both major parties.
• Pensioners' tax burdens have increased significantly, leading to skepticism about new promises from the Conservatives.
• Labour's commitment to maintaining current tax thresholds contrasts with Conservative claims of a '£1,000 retirement tax' under Labour.
