What happened
Andrew Griffith, the Conservative’s economic chief, outlined tax promises made at the Birmingham conference. He stated that if the party returned to power, he would scrap the levy on high-value homes, which is widely known as the mansion tax. Additionally, he promised to remove a tax on plastic packaging.
Why it matters
Griffith committed to a policy of cutting taxes annually, stating he would aim to scrap at least one tax every budget. He characterized the family homes tax, introduced under Rachel Reeves, as a 'vindictive raid on family homes.' The promises also included a bonfire of red tape and the axing of arms-length government bodies.
