What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Dale Vince proposed that the government should fund a £3,000 increase to the personal allowance by halting the Bank of England's practice of paying interest to banks on their reserves. Vince claimed this measure could generate £30 billion annually, sufficient to fund the tax reduction. He also suggested raising capital gains tax and aligning it with income tax rates.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposal targets a core operational mechanism of the Bank of England to fund a significant tax policy change. According to modeling by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, restoring the income tax allowance could translate to a 1.2% boost to GDP in the first year.
