Move announced in budget not a long-term solution, says Allinson
There are more assurances that the planned rise to the higher rate of Income Tax will be a temporary move.
As part of his 2024/25 budget, Treasury Minister Alex Allinson announced an increase from 20 per cent to 22 per cent.
The extra funds will go directly to health and social care services on the Island.
Dr Allinson told Manx Radio how the change will work:
Farmers in race against time after freight backlog in Heysham
Concern for crops and animals after delays to feed and fertiliser deliveries
'Immigration is needed' for economic growth on Island
MLC says a shortage of workers is creating challenges for Manx businesses
Census 'still one of the most valuable statistical tools' for government
Cabinet Office minister says technical can't count the population as well as the survey
