Labour Party Conference: Can tax help tackle the cost of living crisis?

Prices are soaring. The Government has put an Energy Price Guarantee in place but are tax cuts needed too to help strained household finances? Or should we be looking at tax rises to help pay for other forms of support?

Is cutting taxes to boost economic growth part of the answer? If so, which tax changes will work best? And how might they affect inflation and the Bank of England’s interest rate decisions?

Join our panel of experts for a discussion of these crucial and topical questions.

Panel:

• James Murray MP, Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury
• Paul Johnson, Director, Institute for Fiscal Studies
• Chris Giles, Economics Editor, Financial Times
• Susan Ball, President, Chartered Institute of Taxation (in the chair)

Anyone at the conference is welcome to attend in person without registering in advance.
