Former communications head says government should have been better prepared
It's been suggested that government should have been better prepared for reaction to the rise in income tax this year.
The higher rate was increased by two percent to cover health spending, taking it to 22 percent.
The move faced heavy criticism by the public, unions and some business sectors.
Speaking on Manx Radio's Perspective, journalist and former government press officer Alistair Ramsay says what then followed was not impressive:
