Would 18 months paternity leave be an employer cost and nothing to do with increased taxes?
Do we pay higher taxes because of the low corporation tax?
Is the low corporation tax still effective?
I didn't see anything extreme in the budget. But I was surprised that the mortgage interest relief was going to be abolished in time. It probably won't affect me but people who do buy their own houses do at least remove themselves from the "strain" of having the government house them (whether or not the government should house people is another matter!) - so whats wrong with not paying tax on the interest on the mortgage?
