The UK is poised to face significant economic challenges due to proposed tax hikes under Labour's Chancellor Rachel Reeves, which threaten to make the country one of the least competitive among developed nations, according to analysis from the Centre for Policy Studies. Predicted increases in capital gains tax, the introduction of a wealth tax, and hikes in dividend taxes could drop the UK's competitiveness ranking to 35th among OECD countries. Additionally, families may encounter a rise in holiday costs if Air Passenger Duty (APD) is increased, with Ryanair's CEO warning of potential flight cuts in response. Concerns extend to the non-dom tax regime, where proposed reforms could lead to an exodus of wealthy individuals, costing the UK economy billions in lost GDP. The Adam Smith Institute forecasts that scrapping the non-dom status could lead to a loss of over £6.5 billion and 23,000 jobs by 2035. As the government navigates these tax policies, industry leaders warn of the potential detrimental impact on jobs and economic growth.
