Peter Dowd MP, Labour’s Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, speaking after the Committee stage of the Finance Bill, said:
“It is a sad day when the Conservative Government asks sacked workers to cough up to pay for expanded tax breaks for non-doms.
“The Conservatives voted down Labour’s amendments, which would have ended fears that sacked workers might be taxed more, and instead opted to vote through a giveaway to wealthy non-doms.
“The next Labour government will end the Tories’ unjust tax system, and create a tax system that works for the many, not just the privileged few.“
