UK taxpayer facing historically high burden

Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies’ has suggested the UK’s tax burden is the largest since the Second World War. Taxes have been rising sharply, either by stealth or declared policy, to keep up with election promises and demand for public services starved of investment during the previous decade. Calculated as a share of GDP, the tax take will have risen to 37% by the next election, a 4% increase since 2019 and a figure not seen since the 1940s. #tax #money #politics SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: Follow us on Twitter: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Instagram: Follow us on TikTok: @skynews For more content go to and download our apps: Apple Android Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí: To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here:
