Labour's non-dom tax proposals, spearheaded by Rachel Reeves, have sparked controversy among tax experts and financial advisers. The focus is on potential impacts on second homeowners and the City of London. Angela Rayner, Labour's deputy leader, faces scrutiny over her tax affairs, with accusations of hypocrisy and tax avoidance. Conservative party members staged a 'tax protest' against Rayner, leading to a heated debate and questions about her past actions and transparency. The tax gap, estimated at £36bn, is a central issue in the ongoing discussion about tax policies and avoidance strategies.
The theoretical tax gap is at the lowest ever - nearly half that @UKLabour left in 2010. If Rachel’s plan yielded in entirety (it can’t and wouldn’t), it would fund the NHS for TEN DAYS. More pie in the sky to fill huge spending gaps. https://t.co/44BjU8z7LQ
The Daily Mail’s attacks on Angela Rayner are yet another example of its rank hypocrisy, writes @gameoldgirl https://t.co/91f6gPYy9i

Sir Keir Starmer refuses to say he’s ‘100% confident’ his Deputy Leader Angela Rayner hasn’t done anything wrong - as tax questions continue around the sale of her former council house in Stockport. We also chat about Blackpool & Gaza- on @GranadaReports later. https://t.co/WwXdhkyfB8
‘Isn’t that the definition of hypocrisy?’ @NickFerrariLBC pushes back on Shadow Transport Secretary @LouHaigh’s defence of Angela Rayner, who is accused of 'dodging capital gains tax', after it emerged she previously pressured a Tory MP to publish her tax return. https://t.co/DUn09PrB4o

The latest excuses from Angela Rayner defenders is that “she wasn’t an MP” at the time & “living in a council house & not a tax haven”. Such a laughable excuse would never be granted to a Tory MP. Plus that council house could have gone to someone else who needed it.

The tax advice @AngelaRayner received when she sold her house in 2015 was based on information she provided to the tax advisor. It looks as if she misled the advisor by giving the false impression the house she was selling was her main residence. If so, she will have to resign.

So that supposedly grassroots ‘tax protest’ against Angela Rayner today, was actually organised by the Conservative party. Local Conservative Cllr John Coulson told me he staged the stunt alongside other local Tory politicians. https://t.co/dWtIWbjKW6

💷 Institute for Fiscal Studies deputy director Helen Miller said there was real "uncertainty" over how much Labour could raise by tackling tax avoidance https://t.co/u2fkpz8j4i
At least £36bn was lost to the Treasury last year, partly because of tax avoidance. And this is a conservative estimate. This is known as the tax gap and it's a scandal that we must attack. Here I set out how @RachelReevesMP will do just that. https://t.co/tcFSvwdC1p
In April 2020, Angela Rayner demanded that the then Tory candidate for Hartlepool, Jill Mortimer, to publish “in full her tax returns…in the interests of transparency”. We’re still waiting for Angela to publish her own in the interests of transparency.
