Should the 40p income tax rate be introduced at £50,000 rather than the current £41,900?

Conservative By 2020, no one earning less than £50,000 will pay the 40p rate of tax.

Labour We will: • Introduce a new 10p starting rate of tax to help 24 million people on low and middle incomes • Reverse David Cameron’s 3 billion pound tax break for the top one per cent of earners and tax houses worth over 2 million pounds • In Europe, tackle tax avoidance with greater transparency so we can see who has paid what tax http://www.labour.org.uk/blog/entry/more-tory-than-the-tories-ukips-tax-policies

UKIP We will introduce a 35p income tax rate between £42,285 and £55,000, whereupon the 40p rate becomes payable.
