Making the Green Tax Switch!

The Liberal Democrats want to give the average family a £1,000 income tax cut to save the planet. By switching to green taxes instead, everyone can help switch off climate change.

The Liberal Democrats will radically change the way Britain pays tax. Taxing good things, like income, less and switching to taxing bad things like pollution instead. Then, the more you choose to switch to greener living, the more of your Lib Dem income tax cut you will keep.

While other politicians just talk about the environment, LibDem leader Sir Menzies Campbell has won praise for his green tax switch plan to actually do something to tackle growing climate change.

Overall, the costed Lib Dem green tax switch plan has been designed to make taxes fairer and greener but not to increase tax.
