WARNING !!
Corbyn and McDonnel say their manifesto won't make 95% of people worse off. Well how does them cancelling Marriage persons transferable tax allowance and cancelling single persons council tax 25% discount not affect 95% of people ?
Lots of single people and many of these are pensioners. A band B house here where I live this year was £1294 so the discount they would lose is £323.50.
Cancelling Marriage tax allowance is going to lose lots of couples £250 where one of them has an unused tax allowance of £1250 which can currently be transferred to their partner if they earn under £50k.
