Original Note:
NNN - It is not claimed that the figure was derived by the treasury, therefore the post is not misleading. See the calculation: https://public.conservatives.com/publicweb/Labour-tax-rises.pdf https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/labour-increase-tax-bill-protect-cash/ https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/jun/06/rachel-reeves-under-pressure-from-shadow-ministers-to-raise-capital-gains-tax-to-revive-public-services https://www.ft.com/content/11e3c349-c1cc-4356-9911-691bc6f0cb17 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13320995/amp/Rachel-Reeves-tax-tsar-claimed-pensioners-ridiculously-good-said-taxed-more.html The figure £3,018 should not be used within a community note as it is noted by the source it comes from that it is a misleading figure. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/on-sunaks-maths-tories-will-lift-taxes-by-3000-per-household/
