Students: Loans
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of student loan repayment thresholds, tax thresholds and fiscal drag on incentives to work for people with plan 2 student loans.
Answered by James Murray
The Government is making fair and necessary choices on tax so it can deliver on the public’s priorities. Everyone is being asked to contribute to support these goals, but the Government is keeping the contribution as low as possible by pursuing a programme of reform to fix longstanding issues in the tax system – modernising it, and addressing unequal and unfair treatment, while ensuring the wealthiest contribute more.
