"One of Britain's leading tax experts has raised serious questions over Rachel Reeves' planned mansion tax on high-value homes expected in her make-or-break Budget. Dan Neidle, the founder of Tax Policy Associates, is in favour of property tax reform, but has questioned proposals to hit 100,000 of the most expensive properties with an average charge of 4,500, as they would be based on out-of-date valuations."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and asks for donations to fund reporters and documentary production. The outlet rejects paywalls, arguing quality journalism should be freely available and funded by those who can afford it. A leading British tax expert, Dan Neidle of Tax Policy Associates, supports property tax reform but criticizes Rachel Reeves' proposal to hit about 100,000 high-value homes with an average £4,500 charge based on out-of-date valuations. Reeves is reportedly considering revaluation of council tax bands F, G and H to raise at least £20bn. The OBR has downgraded growth forecasts through 2029.
