Reform-linked Thinktank Reportedly to Call for Major Tax Cuts for Wealthy
The Centre for a Better Britain, a thinktank with ties to Nigel Farage's Reform UK, is said to be preparing a policy report urging the abolition of inheritance tax and phasing out of capital gains tax.
A thinktank linked to Nigel Farage's Reform UK is preparing a policy document that is reportedly set to call for substantial tax cuts for wealthy individuals, according to a report cited by The Guardian.
The Centre for a Better Britain (CFABB) is due to publish a 200-page report next week, the report said, offering insight into economic and financial policies that could form part of Reform UK's platform ahead of the next general election.
According to the report, the document will urge the abolition of inheritance tax and the phasing out of capital gains tax, measures that would primarily benefit higher earners and wealthy estates.
The Guardian's report did not specify further details of the thinktank's broader recommendations or provide direct comment from CFABB or Reform UK on the contents of the forthcoming document.
Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has been positioning itself ahead of the next election, and thinktanks associated with the party have previously sought to influence its policy platform on economic issues.
Further details of the report's full contents, including any accompanying economic analysis or funding proposals, are expected to become clearer upon its publication next week.
