The Tory Tax Problem May Be Britain’s, Too

This week's episode is about UK tax. But trust us, it's interesting. Reporter Alex Wickham joins to assess the damage being done to the Tory party’s popularity as a result of Nadhim Zahawi's tax row. And David Merritt speaks with Arun Advani, an associate professor in economics at the University of Warwick and a Research Fellow at the Institute for Fiscal Studies. He says people should be focusing less on why Zahawi paid the wrong amount of tax, and more how small the amount was when compared with the earnings he generated. Advani discusses the UK’s current tax structure and where there’s room for improvement. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
