DEAR EDITOR
I notice it has emerged that the Tories’ proposed tax plan to cut Child Tax Credits for households on more than £50,000 per year, would raise only £45million — not the £400million they claimed it would.
In fact, to raise £400 million they would have to cut Child Tax Credit from couples earning as little as £16,000 each.
Can local Tories answer the following question: Is this mis-calculation simply a sign of the Tory lack of experience and inability to do their sums or do they intend to remove the credit from couples earning as little as £16,000 each?
