Welsh Labour pledges income tax freeze at manifesto launch
"Today, I make a clear promise to the people of Wales: in the next Senedd term, a Welsh Labour government will not raise income tax. Fairness starts with understanding the pressure families face, but fairness also means action."
"This manifesto delivers real help with the cost of living. We will cap single bus fares at 2 across Wales, we will keep the 1 fares for young people and free travel for over-60s."
"We will create 20,000 new childcare places, expanding provision from nine-months-old so families can work and get on. Fairness means making everyday life that little bit easier."
Eluned Morgan, the leader of Welsh Labour, promises to freeze income tax rates if her party wins the upcoming Senedd election. Since 2019, Welsh ministers have had the authority to adjust income tax rates but have not done so. Morgan emphasizes the importance of addressing the cost of living crisis and aims to provide financial relief to families. Her manifesto includes initiatives such as capping bus fares and expanding childcare provisions to support working families.
