The Purpose of the Tax Pledge

The Tax Pledge aims to tell voters what their parliamentary candidates think about tax. It has been created to bring clarity to the tax debate and to assist voters when they choose how to vote at the forthcoming General Election.

We believe that candidates should be clear with their electorates about how they will vote, if elected, on tax rises.

I pledge to the taxpayers of my constituency and to the British public that, if elected to the next parliament and except in the event of a national emergency, I will vote against all increases in tax rates unless accompanied by an equal or greater reduction in the overall tax burden within the same proposals.

Let your MP have your views on the Tax Pledge
