Description

A silent tax hike is hitting millions—without fanfare. With income tax thresholds frozen, half a million workers are now paying taxes for the first time, while hundreds of thousands more are sliding into higher brackets. Critics call it a “stealth tax,” accusing ministers of quietly raising revenue without admitting it.

The opposition warns this path leads to more borrowing and higher taxes, leaving voters wondering: what’s the real plan?
