I was watching the news and it did flash up that the government was being begged to NOT raise taxes. It also said that drivers may be in for a hard time RE: petrol tax. Seems sensible, it's a cash cow, it affects all a little and it encourages ppl to go electric.
Problem with petrol tax is it's yet another that disproportionately hits people that are least able to afford it. Would be fair if our public transport wasn't such a mess.
Covid has hit poorer demographics hard, and higher earners like myself have been left with more money in our pockets. It's right that taxation hits us, including CGT during a period of massive asset inflation.
