# Budget 2011: 50p tax rate 'not permanent'
|
|
|
|
## Chancellor George Osborne says the higher rate of income tax is not
|
|
permanent but now is not the right time to remove it because "we're all in
|
|
this together".

Speaking to the crowded chamber he said: "I think it's sensible to see how
|
|
much revenue it actually raises. I've asked HMRC to find out the truth when
|
|
the self-assessment forms start coming in.
|
|
|
|
"Of course, taxation must be fair. It's right that the wealthiest should pay
|
|
more than others. And it's especially wrong when they avoid taxes. "
